Description I've had this reference floating around quite a while, but a few weeks ago I stumbled onto it again and decided to upload it. I've had dreams of drawing this charrie extensively, but I haven't quite found the inspiration. I love designing more than anything, and originally, he was part of a series of "butterfly cats" i was doing, but they all ended up unfinished. I really like his design, but I'm not sure about keeping him. I spent so much time on him I'd hate to see him go to waste. Would anyone consider buying him? I have a few other designs if he does sell I might post, but for now, I'm just happy he won't rot in my desk.

Btw, you Elder Scrolls fans might recognize his name. It's Leyawiin of Cyrodiil, one of the prettiest cities in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Beautiful work! I love the vibrant colors, and the fans going up the neck. The eye spots are very lovely too! Very neat creature!

That is a fantastic design, and I am very impressed with the bold colors and patterns in the cat's fur and wings.  I hope you do decide to do some more drawings with characters like this one.

Thanks! Yeah, the rainbow-ish coloration sounds like something you'd like, lol.

What prices are you considering?

I'm not completely sure, I've never sold a design before. I might consider an auction with an autobuy, but I'm not super confident on setting a price. I know it wouldn't be for points.

What you could do is try to remember how long it took you to make it, and multiply it by 8 so you are at least getting 8 dollars an hour.

Lol, in that case it'd only be about 16-20, that's about all the time I took on it. Maybe a few hours. I really like that suggestion, though, that's a good one.

I think that's definitely a fair price :]
