Ashkaa is a winged snow leopard, a species of snow leopard that has evolved to be able to fly. The wings are like those of the great horned owl. The wings are large and each one is about the same length as the entire cat. They are large and wide. The fur on the rest of her body has a slightly feathered quality that makes it a lighter weight than regular fur, but sacrifices some of its isolating qualities. The species is unusually colored, ranging from steal gray to cornflower blue. Ashkaa is a cornflower blue, which fades into a lighter Maya blue. The lighter color appears on the primary and secondary feathers, as well as the underside of the leopard. Her rosettes are a reddish brown and are the same as regular snow leopard spots for the most part. Ashkaa’s markings have a vague spiral like look most pronounced on the largest spots down the middle of her tail. The markings on the tail end in three bands at the tip. The first wrapping a third of the way around the tail, the second two thirds, and the tip of the tail completely dipped. The outer wing covers are cornflower blue with reddish brown rosettes like the ones on the body. The primary and secondary feathers of the outer wing have several closely spaced reddish brown bands. The lesser under-wing coverts in the inner wings have the rosettes to a lesser extent than the outer wing. The first of seven bands starts at the very tip of the lesser under-wing coverts. The greater under-wing coverts are Maya blue, and the ones covering the primaries have a band on the feather tips. The inner wing primaries have five bands, one at the tip and four thinner ones after it. The inner wing secondaries have three bands, one at the tip and two thinner ones spaced slightly after it. The feline’s pink nose has a bluish tinge, and her eyes are mint green.

I was originally going to do the normal thing and draw this, but that was taking too long, so this is what you get instead. Done on felt with sharpie and acrylic paint.
