I love MUSCLES! He should have abs, don't give him a belly.
Yes, a bulge is allowed. The nipples are also allowed, though not required.
The colours don't need to be exact, but the palette is there if you need it.
I'd prefer a nose that looks snep-like, like in the 1st example.
I tend to prefer the rounder ears.
The hands should have claws and paw pads, if possible.
Make sure you give him a BIG TAIL, like in the 5th example. I know how it looks in some of the examples, but there's a reason why it's thicker in the actual reference sheet. This is my one requirement, so don't forget.
Avoid making the spots messy and ugly looking.
Please, try not to make the sideburns look absolutely hideous.
About Ja'aran
I see him as having two sides to his personality; someone who can be surprisingly confident and protective (like a King), but is otherwise just a gentle and caring sweetheart (like a Prince).
I am also very interested in seeing an artist's soul shine through, and what their idea of romantic or attractive is when it comes to bara/muscular men.
Likes
As a "top" (King), he likes to pleasure his partner rather than dominate them, to be specific. Actions speak louder than words. This can be acts of care, domestic servitude, obedience, or body worship ether way - all done with effortless confidence.
I am powerful and in control.
I am seen as desirable.
As a "bottom" (Prince), he's the soft one. Think gentle touches, whispered reassurances, and quiet intimacy. This can be in the form of romance and affection, sensation play (kissing), and praise and compliments ether way - all done with smiles and blushes.
I am safe and can now be vulnerable.
I can explore taboo in a safe and controlled enviroment.
Dislikes
No animal genitalia, lactating nipples, or gaping doughnut buttholes.
Please don't have him bullying the underdog, but humbling a bully is okay.
