SEASONAL

Summer
  • Ears: black with white-ish tan insides
  • Hair: his original black
  • Tail: black with a tan underside
  • All other fur: black, but a little tan at finger tips and toes
  • Less fur at this stage
  • This is his "default" form
  • His colour scheme is based on black otter rex rabbits.


Fall
  • Ears: salt and pepper grey/white with beige/white insides. The tips stay black though.
  • Hair: PREMATURE GREYING AT AN ALARMING RATE but the tips are still dark so it's kinda ombre-- I can't believe I just described a matsu's hair as being ombre
  • Tail: more of that salt and pepper grey look. The tan underside starts turning white and looks beige-ish
  • All other fur: grey/white/black
  • He begins growing a lot more fur, including the start of a fluffy "mane" around his neck.
  • This is probably the best way to imagine the look of his coat, but there's no direct inspiration for it.
  • Note: this form is being mostly skipped (or at least significantly shortened ) for 2017 so I can still have him be his summer look for a while (since he JUST changed). He'll start doing this more properly come 2018.


Winter
  • Ears: pure white inside and out with black tips
  • Hair: white, save for the tips which, like his ears, have remained black
  • Tail: completely white
  • All other fur: white, with beige on his fingers and feet where the tan had been. Some black tips are present on his neck fur.
  • Fur coat is a lot thicker.
  • SUPER fluffy. Like the floofiest you can imagine. Especially around his neck, where the "mane" is now full and covering the whole thing like a scarf.
  • Skin's a little paler, just to help blend in with all the white.
  • Colour palette based on both snowshoe hares (in winter) and arctic hares.


Spring
  • Just like his fall form but in reverse.
  • Starts shedding all the excess fur he grew.
