Bhuster's Avatars (OLD)

I see you wanna learn more about my avatars. Let's just jump right into it.

After many years of having some representations of myself in certain areas, I eventually made my main avatar Bhuster Eby a few years ago. Their familiar BrambleClaw existed before this current avatar iteration, first being created alongside a previous iteration named Gremlin. The fursona Brustle Eby was created a long while after Bhuster and Bramble were created. Originally being a Rule 63 version of Bhuster whenever he fused with Bramble, she is now just Bhuster's alternate form, with Bramble staying her own thing and is uninvolved with the transformation.

Bhuster "Blue" Eby

Bhuster is a representation of myself. He is blue because that's my favorite color, and he is a mage/wizard because I like fantasy stuff. He is a silly guy that is very expressive and passionate about a lot of things. Mostly video games, music, and art. His design is based off quite a few things: his robe (that I've been calling a cloak) is to represent his wizardness; the cap is not only another point towards mages, but is also reminiscent of Link's cap from the Legend of Zelda series; the shirt underneath his robe is a remnant of one of his more prominent designs; his big bulbous nose is a reference to Mario; his block-like hands are a callback to both Roblox, Minecraft, and Terraria characters, as the hands aren't too defined and are more squareish or rectangular; his hair was originally based on the one design of hair I was able to draw, despite it not changing angles with whoever I drew it on, so it eventually evolved into this swooped bangs look, and then I added some sideburns and some ahoge (hidden by the cap) for the fun of it.

Bhuster at first wasn't originally Bhuster. His first ever iteration was named Blue. While unoriginal, this was only part of the username I am getting this from, which was used on ROBLOX before it became the thing it is now. That is where the first blue character came from, which then started a bit of a string of characters with the same color that I've tried to use to represent me. The second one was a Terraria character I named Gremlin. Inspired by Yrimir's mage playthrough, in which he played Merlin, Gremlin was basically the same design, except for blue skin. He also had a ranger brother named Poof, which had different clothes, had the same hair minus the beard (and was green), and there was a plan for a sister, who would also have green hair and would be the melee user. The first actual iteration of Bhuster was a mash between Blue and Gremlin, where there were some additional changes that neither provided (such as the name, which originated from a WoW character I had back when I originally played it). Bhuster had at least one or two more iterations before he became what he is now.

BrambleClaw

Bramble is the helpful (if snarky) familiar. She represents the smarts that I occasionally have. She's a cyan cat with blue markings and hair because those are my favorite colors, and she's got a ruby on her collar because I like rubies. Her being Bhuster's familiar is due to the fact that I like the idea of familiars. She isn't as expressive as Bhuster, but it still shows itself every once in a while. Her being a familiar means that she is a purely magical being, connected to Bhuster/Brustle. As such, if she were to die, she would simply be able to get summoned again. Her design isn't too complex: hhe is a generic cat-shape, with some extra fluff because I was big into the Warrior Cats series; her hair is a sort of spiky fauxhawk-mullet-esque design, which came from a friend of mine interpreting a previous iteration's design in her own way; her markings are on her ears (where they have a jagged line separating the ears from the head), and her tail (where the tip has the same deal as her ears, while the rest is just two striped going around the base of her tail); the cut in her right ear is interesting, as I don't remember why I added it to her in the first place, but it's there.

Bramble's base design, being a blue cat, has been a staple with some of my character designs ever since I had an imaginary friend that was just a box stick figure of an anthro blue cat. Her first actual appearance was in a drawing with Gremlin, where there are only a few differences between the two designs. The next design was put alongside the Bhuster that was a combination between Gremlin and Blue, and all of that leads up to her current design.

Brustle Eby

The most recent character to be included with my avatars, Brustle is what I call the "Folkinn" version of Bhuster; his alternate form. She is a combination of all the other things I like, while also being the Rule 63 version of Bhuster. She is also a cyan cat with blue hair and markings, which I've already explained at least once, twice with the color blue. She now has more rubies on her collar, again, this was explained earlier. She's an anthro busty catgirl as well, which should be self-explanatory. Her design process was an interesting progression, so let's go over her current one: her being an anthro cat was originally explained as Bhuster and Bramble fusing together, which is why there's a lot of similar elements she has with both, which are now remnants of her original design (like her different-colored eyes being the eye colors of both, her ear cut from Bramble, her hair cut being similar to Bhuster, the markings on her fur, and her outfit having elements from both); her crop tank (not shown due to her jacket) is basically Bhuster's shirt changed to show off her belly, a staple for a lot of early 2000's furry character / regular character designs for female OC's; her collar (I guess it would be called a choker now) not only has more rubies, which don't hang, but they are also spiky, which is just another fashion statement in early 2000's OC design; her hoodless jacket was provided because I recall a lot of "modern fantasy" wizards wearing hoodies or jackets, due to being reminiscent of shady characters, which wizards probably became. A lot of that is just what I remember, it's most likely that none of it is true, but that's the duality idea I have for Bhuster-Brustle: Bhuster looks more like a traditional mage, while Brustle is more of a modern mage.

Not much has changed in Brustle's design. First off, she wore both Bhuster's actual clothes (minus the cap) and Bramble's collar. Second off, her hair was just a longer version of Bhuster's hair. Third, her head was more shaped like Bramble's head, instead of implementing a cat head onto the shape of Bhuster's head. Like I said, not much changed.
