It's a little eerie, but calm and relaxed yet alert at the same time.

This is a Khajiit, no doubt. I saw this piece before, just still love it. And who cares if Mayan or Aztec stuff it wears, both folk captured or killed those animals, like humans do. Shame on mankind.

Wish Khajiit looked this good. Maybe Bethseda should see this.
I myself wish the Khajiit weren't all just straight assassins. That like one sex could be offensive thief and the other thief warrior hybrid-cuz they've done every other hybrid.

Ah! I love this so much, everything looks fantastic! I cant picture using any other animal to portray a Mayan theme. He looks like a high priest--a fitting station for a jaguar!

This is a beautiful piece. The green color gives it an ancient air, suitable to what one would think of as Mayan or Aztec. I love it.

Amazing!!!
I like the details, the fur and the colors!!

is this based on the idea that the warriors of the mayans/aztecs wore jaguar pelts and were called jaguar warriors? Because if so then it is a really cool use of concept! If not.......it fits, really well.

Wow, gorgeous! I love what how worked with the green as the dominant color. I'd love to know what Indiana Jones would do if he ran into /this/ guy in a dark, "abandoned" temple!

I luv yur anatomy, I know there's no REAL anatomy for furries/hanimals/humanimal, whatever you liek to call them but you could definetly create one! We're studying native mexicans right now, you know aztecs, mayans, and looking at the mayan portraits, this looks like an authentic shaman. Again REALLY awesome job!
