My poor girl. I've owed her this for years.

Nashida has been my oldest character-well, second oldest- since about 2004. She stemmed from a need for an "on-topic" character for an old TLK art site. Since Nisha (my oldest sona) was a wolf, that didn't fit into the TLK universe (no wolves in Africa and all that).

Since she practically grew up with me and helped stemmed my growth as an artist from a young teen until now, I wanted to preserve her a bit and kind of enforce the no-NSFW rule on her. She's female but I will never draw her (nor get art of her) with nips, slips or anything lewd. The closest we'll get is a fluffy chest, like here, to suggest a chest.

The OGs - that is, those of you who found me from there or have been around for FOREVER, will remember when her old design had a yellow diamond across the back. She ditched the diamond sometime before I entered college or shortly after starting it but kept the yellow spots.

This stemmed from a Twitter thread I started about my next suit and who to get, and a surprising number of friends suggested her. Now to hunt for a maker who makes good big cats, heh.
