The Science of Skin Tones

Did you know there's more to skin tones than just light vs. dark? The Tails Model's skin tones incorporate subtle variations in undertones, such as cool, neutral, and warm. This makes it possible to create more realistic and diverse characters.

Fur Colors: Beyond Black and Brown

Fur colors in the Tails Model extend beyond the standard black, brown, and white. You'll find unique shades like oxidation red, autumn orange, and seafoam green, allowing for more creative and realistic character designs, especially in anthropomorphic or hybrid characters.
