Aelius' request was for his little pyromancer-fighter fennec, Silara. Per his description, she's a bit of a mischief-maker, and finds it amusing to "breathe fire" at times. When I asked him what she should be doing in the image he said "Dancing!". So I thought, if I were a fire-breathing fennec, with a mischievous streak, and I were dancing to impress, what might I do? Obviously, make like a tiny tawny dragon, that's what!
This one was a lot fo fun for messing with the fire-effects and for the novel inner-ear tatoos. We joked about fennecs having ears big enough to tattoo the Sistine Chapel ceiling into.
