Scrapping this because I intend to color it.
I ended up liking the "ancient" design so much I decided to try hybrid-ing it in an attempt to modernize the old slissa design a bit by drawing kliss!
This design is much more geared towards standing on two legs than the original, which I think might be a good idea because I almost always drew them standing up despite pretending they were supposed to usually be on all fours (why are you looking at me like that tayza).
I also changed dimorphism, so females keep the back spikes (but they are smaller), and the head spikes are as long as on males. I was never fully sold on the old design where females only had 2 head spikes and that was it.
This design also makes the claws more a part of the body (vs "tubes with spikes coming out at the end).
I'd love to hear peoples' thoughts on this vs the old design... the intent is to make slissas visually interesting, and visually adorable.

Has visual appeal but mechanically speaking, neither stance looks particularly stable. Their arms are too short and have no bend so it doesn't look like they could use that for locomotion on quads. Standing, their centre of gravity looks too focused forward and they're either going to end up doing an exaggerated chicken neck flingy walk while putting a lot of shock stress on their spine. There's a reason human spines are all s curvey.
