- I'm trying to make all my refs for this species similar, so if you compare this one to aoichi's it's similar. his design didn't change much from the first drawing I drew of him with aoichi, I included a some greens and lightened the color,, I've recently been trying to get more variation in my art, and experimenting with body shapes, since it's hard with like- c a t s. cyprus has (he's actually smaller than aoichi, but lets ignore that) more sharp edges, unlike aoi,, who has more round edges. cyprus' snout (?) is more bigger, and he also has broader shoulders. if you have any tips on animal body types (mainly cats and dogs) please let me know, I'm in desperate need of some. . his design will probably change a bit, like the yellow-is color of his pelt, but I kinda hate how pixely the brushes are, so I might change programs until I find one good for my weird drawing process, so I will re-draw this ref because I need to put more effort into this later. - - - - main characters [ + parents ] 〉 aoichi Overconfident sometimes Caring Can destroy you, but is a big sweetheart inside Compassionate A prince that tries to act tough, but everyone loves him because he’s the prince, and his family thinks he’s adorable- Family + friendship driven will do anything to protect those he loves 〉 cyprus Softy Royal guard Clueless Has amazing speed 〉 whitewater Friendly Great ruler 〉 reagan The power-- changed him. Used to be a great dad, as seen by the drawing I drew, but turned bitter and hungry for power Lashes out 〉 wren Has a big soft spot for her pet lychen (it’s like a pet cat- but with wings) her lychen’s name is winter because he’s white, wren loves him because he reminds her of her pet cat she had in her human life animal lover Artist (works as a jewelry maker in a store) 〉 lei Cyprus’ childhood friend Captain of the royal guards She’ll beat you up, then apologize with fake sweetness [ I'm doing wren and lychen next! ] (also, the non ekea-born can choose their names, or keep theirs, cyprus let [insert goddess name here] choose his (cause, he honestly didn't care at the beginning) his friend (who died 4 years earlier) , lei,, kept her name.) - - - art ;; @crowberrii
