Here are the promised photos for the character auction!

This is one of the actual ornaments which will go to the lucky winner of the auction. And of course the winner will be able to use this turn-around of the sculpture for additional reference for Anisim. I guess that's one of the plus sides to having a character in 3D, it's easy to see the markings for multiple angles! :)
Kai, Anisim's mate: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15673394/
Character Background:
Have you ever peered into thick, overgrown brush, and felt the dark pathways, shaped from branch and root, drawing you in? Well, the edge of this strange forested place is where our story begins. Many family groups of wild Shisa live just on the edge of the spirit world, and Kai's family is no exception. The fact is, slipping between realms is the easiest way to avoid capture. Of course, the other side presents just as many unique dangers, so creatures that live on the edge develop sensitivity to the spirit world in their physical form, simply out of survival. Since she was a cub, Kai's family had depended on her mother to guide them in these survival skills, but her mother had passed on. It only took one wrong step into a hunter's trap... Now it's Kai's turn to lead. Although she is as skilled as her mother in her ability to sense shifts in energy, Kai always had trouble with anxiety. The loss of her mother exaggerated her shy, quiet temperament. How can someone lead if they can't even socialize with the group they're leading?
The answer to her lack of courage came crashing through the brush in the form of Anisim, an escaped Shisa from the royal courts further west. Though born into domestication, Anisim was never cut out for a life of palace walls and daily routine. However, the price of freedom can be high for a Shisa like Anisim. You see, these creatures are rare and expensive to breed. And if their personality does not conform to domestic life? In some places, it's more cost effective to throw them to the streets and let them fend for themselves, but that's not the case for Anisim's home town. Where he comes from, headstrong personalities are much more profitable as pelts. Why let that luxurious fur go to waste? For Anisim, how could he afford not to escape?
This fateful first encounter is just the beginning of Anisim and Kai's story. What dangers does Anisim's presence bring to Kai's family? How could Anisim possibly escape his pursuers? Though on the outside it seems like their personalities and histories couldn't be any more different, their fates intertwine...
Shisa Ornament Info
Each Shisa measures about 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide. From sculpting, to casting, to hand painting, these pendants are all done by my own hand, so you can be sure that much love is poured into each of these unique critters. They're cast in a sturdy resin which is then hand painted in acrylic and pastel. Afterwords, they're sealed in a protective varnish and a ribbon best matching their colors is added for easy hanging, hopefully in a place where they they can be good guardian critters!
