Is that a jaguar?

Nay, he is ntot. The backstory is somewhat complicated, and not completley detailed out yet, but essentially, he inhabits a world filled with all kinds of peoples, humans, elves, furs and ferals, etc. His tribe lives in a forest near the royal palace, designated as a sort of ambassadorial enclave, and their tribe itself was created with representatives from all the fur tribes ( I need a better word than that). Over time, and with breeding, the distinguishing features between tribes and species have blurred and become inconsistent, so the members of their tribe are now a hodgepodge of different species traits. So, effectively, he's nothing specific.

Colored looks even better :3 Yet I love b/w art >.>;

Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it ^^

i really love the background ^^ and your new jaguar cat guy x3 and how do you make the bushes like that? is that a brush?

Not really. I just use the burn and dodge tools, set to the leaf brush. It works ^^

Sounds like a nice backstory. Along with the name, and the headband it kinda reminds me of Jade from Beyond Good and Evil. The background looks really detailed in this aswell, must've taken you a while

Don't know beyond good and evil lol. And no, actually the background didn't take very long at all really. Thank you ^^

Cool character. Love that cocksure grin on his face. Either because he knows he can kick your ass, or because he knows he looks good right now. :P

Also, interesting concept with the glowing cheek fleck. Would be a handy little visual distraction during a fight, I guess.

"Woah! Dude, your cheek is growing green! Oh, God, are you radioactive! I SO do not need any sterility right now! My girlfriend's been bugging me about conceiving a child and... AAAHHH!!!"

lolz, not quite the way I'd imagined it. Killing sperm might go against the whole "green life magic" concept, but I'm sure the rules could be bent somehow ^^
