Internet Sleths: Can you find my adopted character's original background?

It seems quite appropriate! I adopted
from
Lichfang
Lichfang
back when he stopped drawing cubs. I thought it was a real pity to let such a nice character go unused, so I bought her.

She used to have an original character sheet that seems to have been long lost. I was wondering if somebody might be able to dig it up somehow on some archive site.

Of course something new can be invented, but it just seems appropriate to look into the origins of one's adopt :)

Thanks for Lichfang's pictures, a couple extra details:

Full name "Izhara", artist name back then "DeadnFurious", date 2015.

I couldn't find much in my search, but I found 2 old traditional sketches of her I made forever ago.

Much appreciated! I didn't expect you to have anything because I'm quite sure I already asked you years ago, but this is a very welcome surprise :)

This post was inspired by this journal here: https://inkbunny.net/j/563084

And I thought, maybe somebody happens to have saved the old character sheet in an archive somewhere. Might as well ask!

That's one reason I don't like e6 and its ilk. People only upload images and not the context like character sheet info; I actually put a bit of effort into submission titles and descriptions, and sometimes they do link back to inkbunny for that, but if the original submission is deleted, it's all lost. You might be lucky and find the image somewhere, but chances of finding the info are sadly much smaller.

But on the other hand, e621 does an amazing job of tagging stuff.

Well, yes, "tag what you see". Sometimes it would be better to tag what the commissioner intended, if you ask me. (They didn't).

But of course, if you are looking for a picture that seems to show something specific, you don't need to care about back stories and stuff. Even if the picture was really intended to show something else. So it works for fapping purposes, I just don't like that they more or less steal people's commissions to get views.

I see merit in both approaches.

"Tag what you see" is great for searchers, who don't know the story behind the picture and just want to find something that looks kinda like this.

But I understand that this steps on toes and really offends people in some cases. I think these days e621 has a way to specify "lore" tags to deal with this problem exactly.

I upload all my commissions to e621 because I think the more eyeballs the better. Sometimes people have interesting feedback and questions about the pictures there too.

As long as you can figure out what their definition of the tag is. Sometimes it makes less sense than it should.

There are some quirky ones for sure. Like the what_has_science_done one.
