Out of all the characters I've created, besides my fursonas, Lani is one of my favourite to ever be born of my brain. I connect a lot to the emotions that went into making him, and feel happy drawing him. I could go on about how much I love him but I'll save it for my headspace. c;

Anyway, Lani is a monarch catterfly.. My take on the cross between a cat and a butterfly. Originally tagged as a species I made myself, but it's such a common hybrid that I'd have to say just my interpretation of it is what makes it unique. Blah blah see here I go again ahaha.

I love this guy and he is my baby, that's about the end of the story. This was just going to be a sketch but I wanted to get some kind of reference down at the very least.
