I am so incredibly happy with how this turned out!
It took me a while to settle on getting a final reference sheet done for James, I have had a couple good references done in the past but as I have grown as a person, so has my fursona!
When choosing an artist, I went with Dracononite (https://twitter.com/Dracononite) because out of all of the art of James I have gotten and commissioned, my current icon done by Drac still remains my favorite piece. They really capture the look of the character and I knew I had to get the ref done by them.
This was certainly a commission that is a little out of my price range but putting aside some savings and a payment plan, I was able to make it work haha!
It means a lot to me to be able to see myself as a little leopard guy and I'm hoping to get lots of good use out of this ref! Expecting to do lots of art trades and commission others in the future when I can :)
I am still developing the character as I become more comfortable with myself haha!
Any fanart is appreciated, just note he is a sfw character! :p
