Ref sheet for a character I'd like to develop further, perhaps as an alternate fursona or subject for art or a fursuit.

This is Machai in his feral form. He's an adult scimitar-toothed cat in his prime.

I may do, or commission, an anthro ref sheet in the near future. For the meantime, assume that as an anthro he is of average build.

This is a vector done in Inkscape. Art is ©  vidan. Please don't use this character without permission.

Notes: For those drawing this character, the body spot pattern is not necessarily set in stone; however, I'd like the facial stripes to be distinct and recognizable.

General species references (not by me) can be found on DeviantArt:

(Considering this creature is now extinct, its fur volume and patterns are open to interpretation.)
