Base Aki
Debuted: October 2024
Modeled by: Vlightning

This is the base model of Aki, orangeisborange, originally designed by WeiiCArts. This design features a fluffy orange styled hat in the shape of an orange with shiba-inu ears and a leaf sprout on top. I'm very much inspired by Pikmin with the sprout on my hat, I adore the series quite a bit so figured it would be a neat little nod!
As for the overall hoodie design, I wanted a cozy yet soft feel overall. The hood actually doesn't really come up, it's just a design that never came to be in the end. The pomp pomps are there to help with my character's silhouette on the hat and hoodie. I went for a lower cut, because I wanted to have some attractive appeal to my overall character design, and to be honest with you, nothing wrong with sharing a little booba here and there.
As for the rest of the design, I added shiba elements where I could and things that represented my personality. I wear converse sneakers because that's just the most comfortable shoe for me. I enjoy tank tops and short skirts as well as thigh highs, they are generally pretty flowy and comforting for me. From there it was a matter of adding paw-prints and other little things to keep the dog feel overall.
Funny enough! The gameboy on my hip actually shows my creator RavennHarper and her OC putting me together. In VRChat *depending on the world* you can run actual GameBoy Games on it. My favorite part of this model design is the toe bean paw prints on the bottom of my shoes. I think they're absolutely adorable!
