The furry fandom is pretty much a creativity killer unless you already know what animals to draw, it also kinda surprises me that long furred mammals are so popular considering how difficult they are to draw
Not gonna lie, Hellfire looks kinda neat. Like the palette too.

Hmm... the text for this was separate from the image. Sorry, the text says she's a merc/cyborg.

There you go. Dear lord why do people think you need all this? Just keep it to a front and back view, palette and that's it

There's three things that bother me about this sheet.

1. What's the point of coming up with a character if the design is so flexible? I understand that clothing and hair styles can change, but "Optional hair" and "alternate eyes"?

2. The feral form is literally just the anthro form's head put on a cat body. The artist(or whoever designed her) could have removed the eyebrows and change the head shape/silhouette to make it, I dunno, more feral.

3. The background makes me very sad. It doesn't take any design knowledge to know it's a bad idea to place logos and patterns behind text and reference images. It sort of goes against the whole point of a reference sheet.

I know I'm only referencing one picture, but it's a prevalent problem.
 
This is the least horrifying thing out of the things you've posted there.

I save a list of the horrifying artwork I find (hell, I have lists for just about everything). I know this thread has loads of the eye-sores as well, hence why I added that one to the list when I saw it, but it's not too freakish on its own. I'm honestly surprised I don't find more ref sheets randomly, but I guess they're far less common than other artwork... I'm out of refs to share already, for now.
