Given my recent sketch, it's easy to assume this svelte 'zelle was a natural reaction, but in truth it's actually a redesigning of this handsome fellow.

Inspiration to do so actually came last year at Anthrocon, but only now have I finally gotten around to drawing him again. And yes, the lightning marks do mean he's an alternative take on my fursona :p (Let's see, that's... seven species now, I think).

I've admired gazelles for years, and ever since the first sketch have been ironing out the possibility of adapting one into my roster. It comes as no surprise that one would be popping up on occasion. The fact he shares the same species as my latest furry-crush? Happy coincidence ^_^

Officially, his name is Arjuna, and he happens to be a acquaintance of Kaili.
