I sometimes become involved with these creatures of dreams.. Some years ago I was met in a dream by a family of these silky black creatures, kind of fox-like with their pointed features and slender form, and kind of cat-like, in their demeanor and habit of purring. In the dream, the fur was just slick black, and the eyes were pupil-less and like fire. But not frightening by any means. I've come to think of them as guardians of the dream world, existing in the energies therein. Much like Aislinn in that idea, except I've never met Aislinn in dreams.
This was just a dumb doodle and I was gonna just forget about it.. but after collecting some dust in an unfinished PSD file, I decided I like it after all.
