This is for one of my most favourite ladies on the Archive.

She's a lovely person who leaves the most wonderful descriptive comments on art and goes into such depth and detail with her insight. It is amazing how she can point out the faults in an image in the most polite and considerate manner and you always know she just has your best interests at heart.

She's one of those little warm glows that make the archive the awesome place it is and I treasure each and every comment she makes (although I am quite lame in my replies).

She's a pretty awesome artist too, and a fellow bunny lover.

Here's for you Azerane, one of the people I admire most on the archive! Without your advice I would not know half the things I know now!

Sienna and Rahska of the Whispering Grass, the adolescent twins of the nomad pride led by Dawn.

I've been practising noses :3

These two, when drawn cartoony-style, are meant to be reminiscent of outlanders.

Sienna was tagged with a tracking device when she was young, and later on when she was older they tracked her down to give her a proper tracking collar. No time to go into detail :(

I'm thinking of re-doing Dawn and Spire's sheet like this to give the character sheets a style consistency, so if you want to save that image, do it now.

I'll be uploading images every now and then, but I'm afraid I don't have time right now to log on and reply to people. I'll try to reply soon.

Kamau was my first TLK fan-character EVER. I haven't drawn her in at about 2 years, which is saddening. :(

I didn't design the original Kamau, some nice person at lilymud did when I was a really new member. Edit: Miaor helped design my original lion characters [TUS helped me name her] Thank you!
Since then the design has been altered a bit [freckles and nose smudge], but she's still basically the same.
