Description Lately- I've fallen in love with the sand cat species. Enough to attempt making a character of one~

Meet Lutfi- a young boy of 8.

Abandoned by his family, Lufti lives among the outskirts of a desert village. In earlier days, he used to pick-pocket in urgent need of food and/or survival. After being abandoned, it became a job for him that helped him live comfortably. One day after getting caught by a traveller passing by, he heard of stories around the sands. This peaked Lutfi's interest, and got him to travel further and further away from the village, until to a point where he had found his way at the end of the sands to a marketplace of sorts. Seeing all the travelers heading in and out of the town, for a fee, he offered services as a guide through the desert to his town. The more he spoke with travelers, the more he began to wonder where else the sands end........
--------

I love the ability of how sand cats can absorb moisture/water through what they eat so that they don't have to be so reliant on water holes.

As far as Lutfi goes, he gave himself the nickname, "Solomon" whenever he felt the need to be respected.

As far as the design goes, I'll be making a proper reference hopefully in the near future~

Respect the watermark.

This makes me think of the Cat Returns. I think this little guy would fit right in in the Cat Kingdom. :3

I like how the two busts of him are a supercilious look and the "crapcrapcrapCRAP!" expression.

Definitely more cat than anthro, and I like how you were able to bring that out with a more oval head, more feline eyes, and slight disproportion to the mouth and nose. Well done

I'VE YET TO SEE THE CAT'S RETURN!! DAMN YOU!!

... I loved the sand cat so much though, I didn't want to derive too much from the species for the sake of personal style.... at least this time. That may change in the future who knows-

Wow. I've never seen such a realistic-looking anthropomorphic animal. Melikes. ^_^ Of course, it doesn't hurt that he's a cat. I like cats.

I don't know much about sand cats, though. Are they a type of wild cat? They sure don't sound domestic.

BlazeTBW In reply to Pikmanipulator [2009-10-17 01:22:37 +0000 UTC]

I can't say this is much realistic- it's actually relatively stylized.

However- the sand cat is a form of wild cat- categories found in Africa and the middle east I believe... |D I'm too lazy to wiki it at the moment, but they're REALLY interesting lil' felines~

Well well well! This is completely different and unique compared to your many past designs.

Lufti sort of reminds me of the characters from Tracy Butler's "Lackadaisy". The design and backstory is detailed as well. Good job!

I've seen a few or their designs, I can't say I've read the comic though...

I admit I fancy the sort of vintage mobster look~
