How to Make/Design Your Own Waterweasel

Waterweasels come in a LOT of verities, so creating an original design can be a bit donating. This page will hopefully help guide you through that process with info on the rarity index, body part variations, and markings. Lets start with how the rarity index works…

Rarity Index

 

There are 4 levels of rarity to signify how unique a particular trait is. for example a common trait is a quality that pretty much any Waterweasel can have and its not even unusual if a Waterweasel only has these kinds of traits. How ever in contrast uncommon, special, or rare traits are limited in how many you might see on a Waterweasel (or if you’ll see them at all).

Markings & Color

You can have any color palette, or markings you want… granted limited tend to look the most ideal (with around 6 colors total). However the highlighted area’s must stay a single solid color.

 

Here are just a few ideas for different kinds of markings you could incorporate… they don’t have to come from nature, but from my own experience I find that patterns found in nature tend to look the best on Waterweasels.

*Also if you’er having a hard time figuring out a color palette for your Waterweasel, I highly recommend you check out this website Design Seeds. They have an excellent collection of color palettes to help inspire you.

Finally Here are a couple of free to use bases I have made that anyone is welcome to use!
