As for Blanky...well, I think it's kinda obvious who I based it off of...except I don't really have blue hair and yellow eyes. Just black hair and dark brown eyes. I am truly sorry if I disappointed anybody.

So I guess I'll go into how I came up with the whole...character design in the first place. Well...first off, I started likin' short hair upon seeing DJ Candy's style in MySims, when I first got the game in the 6th grade. In fact, my Sim used to have her hairstyle...but I changed it, 'cause I thought it didn't fit me with the headphones an' all. :V About a year or so later, I got The Sims 2. I didn't like any of the default long hairstyles, so I chose a shorter one and I actually dug it and stuff. This was how it looked like:



From then on, my character always had short hair that looked something like that.

As for the blue hair, one of my favorite video game characters ever is this guy from Fire Emblem named Ike. He was a spiffy guy with an awesome personality, a shiny sword, and blue hair. I made my hair navy blue in his honor.

The yellow eyes...I don't even really know. Formerly, my character's eyes were blue, with blue hair. I think I saw this piece of artwork on the front page of dA that had a character with yellow eyes. Don't remember what it was. I was like, "Oooh...that looks cool." So I made my character have bluish-yellow eyes. I thought that looked weird, so I changed it to just yellow eyes.

Some early...eh, concept of my character's design that I threw together on MS Paint. :V
