So! You probably don't know, but I use Gacha Life 2. I understand many people find it cringe and all that understandable bull, but I find it incredibly useful for creating characters. So, if you friends are okay with it, could you send or post and link me a reference for your anthro OCs?
I also think my art skills suck, so I use GL2 to create my OCs and characters. Just because I can make them look good. Also, let me know if you want to see a picture of my Fursona, Cin! ^^
