Actually, that’s not a bad idea. You mind if I put the link to your fluffy guide at the bottom of the post?

Lies! Filthy lies and you know it. That’s a solid fluffy right there.

Ah yes, this subspecies is most commonly found in Japsterdam
Thanks! I like your fluff style as well. Very expressive. Definitely a bit of hamster, guinea pig and pig going on. A bit of dog and horse mannerisms with the way they carry themselves. Great community post too! I was thinking earlier about how different artists and writers describe and depict fluffys differently.

Thank you very much. It took a long time for me to figure out exactly how I wanted my fluffies to look, but I think I’m rather happy with where they are at right now, at least until I can get better hardware to draw on beyond my phone.
I definitely put a bit of dog behaviour in my fluffies. If you read a lot of my work you will often find me describing happy fluffies as wagging their tails or angry fluffies as growling, although I imagine the growl sounds more like a rough squeaking, like those angry little desert frogs.

Very horse like, especially that family our beloved Elmo paid a visit to. Typically I’m not a massive fan of the extremely horse like ones, but your fluffies have a kind of visceral realism to them that makes it work. They look gritty and textile, because the way you draw fluffy abuse is also very gritty and textile, so it works perfectly.

The first ones after a long time not drawing fluffies 
Certainly the realism was a bit suspended after being exposed to many Sesame Street Characters

a bit like a horse-weasel as well, with that long body. He’s adorable, like a wee sausage fluffy.

This is still my favorite picture I have made involving fluffies.
I aim for an equine design, but the fluffies’ rotund little bodies make them balanced between the equine and porcine axes.

Something to be said for fluffy designs that have a hint of humanity to them. When I read/write fluffies, I think of Quickhorn’s fluffies, which have humanoid eyes, flat (as opposed to elongated) faces, and less equine snouts.

Personally I have no idea where I am on the triangle. I’m just bad at drawing quadrupeds in general so I just keep my Fluffies simple. I don’t think my Fluffies are pig like, but they’re DEFINITELY not rodent either.

Quickhorns Designs were definitely an inspiration to how I got my fluffies finalised. That little hint of humanity makes them relatable. At least, I think so. I also just find the flat faces, big eyes and smaller snouts more cute.

I would say that your guess is very accurate about where they land. Definitely no rodent like qualities there, not as far as I can see anyway.
The rodent-like qualities increase as the subjects get smaller. Faster gestation, chewing wires, and nesting in walls are all hallmarks of the Micro Fluffy.

Micros definitely have more rodent DNA, but they are a subcategory.
