Just a late-night doodle... Of quite possibly my favorite of my created species. The drazi. This is a typical pose for my drazi... They're long, lythe, wickedly agile, and have an average ground speed of a comet... For an animal, anyway. Slightly smaller than a wild fokkle, which has allowed for a symbiotic relationship with the drazi, their long legs and flexible spines allow for incredible strides that would shame any of today's greatest feral runners... Drazi spend more time in the air at a full run than they do touching the ground.
But hey, I won't go about putting out a bio for these beauties yet... Still not done with the fokkles and the things that terrorize them, if you still remember that hinted-at detail. I can go on and on and on with the drazi... So I'll save it for when it's their turn.

No, wait, wait, wait. You can spin this! Sell this to Sega as Sonic: Dragons. It can't be worse than throwing Sonic in a race car and besides, it'll be one less dart they have to throw at the Sonic:_______ idea board.
But about the mane, it's actually very stiff hair separated by segmented metal plating... Those things pretty much grow out of their spinal column. The mane is typically white or light-coloured, but the chitinous metal shielding can be all sorts of metallic colours. Perhaps when I submit a coloured reference of the species, it'll be easier to see... Instead of seeing a spikey mane and assuming it's hedgehog-related...

Anyway, shades of blue and purple are pure eyecandy, omnomnom. Saw it earlier today but was unable to comment at that time, too busy staring at pretty colors :V
Kinda wish it was a bit sharper around the edges, although I imagine it makes sense leaving it a bit blurry like that.
