Description Updated reference sheet: 

Yep, yep! A little update for my dear Autan! <3 For the new year! It looks like he's getting more and more red. X)
I'm really happy I finally came up with a somewhat decent ref sheet for him! It's also my first "complete" one, so it's a double success!

I wanted to make him look a little more like a bird, so I added some pheasant-like markings.

I inspired myself of OddOsprey 's way to draw paws and of KGMomo 's refs. I hope you don't mind it guys. X)

I wish I could have write more, but I missed some inspiration. And English isn't my native language, so... I also wanted to be sure I don't write stupidities, so I'm going to wait for... a new species ref sheet I guess? XD And for Ranchelance's and Saphira's approval. C:

It's a little messy, I apology, but I think it's better than the old refs: fav.me/d38kza2 fav.me/d2f2lia . I hope the design is a little easier to reproduce too. I always have difficulty to make simple designs. X')

Note: Autan is one character of mine that isn't included in my own headworld; she we never meet Flo (if I can say, my "characterized" self). She belongs to the world Alana created.

INFORMATION (under construction)

GENERAL
Name: Autan Turmaren
Gender: Male 
Species: Shinlai 
Element: Air  
Age: 25 (value on sheet is outdated) 
Height: 10’’2’ (value on sheet is outdated)
Eyes: Common 
Fur: Short  
Tail: Long & Silky 
Birth Season: Spring 


FAMILY MEMBERS
• DAD: Soren Turmaren
• MATE: Nill Roanh Blanhua
• DAUGHTER: ? Turmaren


PERSONALITY
• TEMPER: Autan is mature and serene for his young age. He’s calm and has a great self-confidence. He’s also a reserved shinlai and appreciates loneliness. But this doesn't preclude kindness. When he’s with others, he’s really pleasant. Even when someone reproach him something, he accepts it calmly. He doesn't get angry easily. He's naive, almost. He will always avoid battle when it is possible.
However, what makes him angry is injustice. He gets pissed off when he sees someone else getting intimated without any reason.
Following that idea, Autan is protective towards his mate, Nill, without being overwhelming.
• FEAR: Eerily, one of Autan's biggest fear is the dark element, even if his father is a dark shinlai. Beeing young, he already spyed Soren and saw him having one his trance. It really scared him, but never told it to his dad. From that day, he had nightmares about that almost everynight. He dreamt the death of his father or that he would himself being attacked by the dark. Nill is the only shinlai knowing the reason of his fear.


ELEMENTAL POWERS
Autan doesn't have any particular specialisation. He rather prefers to explore his element, air and believes in versatility.
Wind gusts, little healing capabilities and mirages are some of his abilities. But any of them is particularly strong.


HISTORY
• PUPHOOD: Autan had a peaceful puphood and discovered his element quite young. His powers weren’t strong, but they were well controlled. He quickly enjoyed making small mirages to trick his friends. He liked to control winds too, giving him the oportunity to glide on small distances or to prevent falls!
When Autan was young, and still now, he liked looking at clouds. Being an air shinlai, unconsciously, he was often modelling them using his air element abilities. Recognizing and identifying those new shapes amused him a lot. It was one of his favorite games.
• ARTISTIC TALENT: Young, he learned with Soren how to concoct dyes. After the ‘’cooking’’ sessions, he would help his dad tint his albino fur. With his dad, he started to developped his artistic talent and his taste for beads early.
• MASK: When Autan brought the material to a human and asked him to make him a new mask, he looked at him go. When the man was finished with the left side, the young shinlai liked so much the natural colours and shapes that he asked him to let it the way it was. That’s why the two sides of the mask are different.
• CHOOSING ITS PATH: His father was part of the Darkblood. Even if Autan had a lot of respect for Soren, he decided to not follow his path. He felt it didn’t suited him.
• MEETING HIS MATE, NILL: After meeting Nill, who talked him about Daila, Autan decided to support her project of becoming an Elite. In addition of helping her in her training, he became a Daila follower.

This specific critter is called a shinlai, a fantasy creature AlanaRoseheart created.
It's also called a "closed species", which means I got the approval from the creator before making my character. In fact, I got mine as part of a contest the artist held in the beginning of the species. That's how I got Autan, my own shinlai.
Out of respect for Alana, I would talk with her before doing anything (though she doesn't seem really active those times...). But nothing prevents you from drawing already existing shinlais as a fanart. Or you could come up with a totally new wolf or dragon inspired creature yourself!
In any ways, if you're really interested in shinlais, here's the dA group where all owners post drawings of their characters: shinlaicommunity.deviantart.co…
I hope I answered your questions!

Oh, thanks. That explains alot. 

Does that mean i can make my own species?? Cause, that would be cool. And then people can make deferent variations of it.

thanks

As an artist, you can draw and create whatever you want for sure! As long as you respect other artists and their own creations, of course. c:

Autan is my favourite shinlai... shhh, secret, secret.

You have no comprehension of how much I love those markings. I need this power of yours to make beautiful markings.

I'm going to stop now because I'm sounding like a stalker.

Prepare for a new watcher.

I've a question for you:
This character is stunningly beautiful and I was but wondering if you'd be willing to breed him with my own character? Her reference is here- [link]
You could make two offspring and keep the one that you most like, and I would of course take the lesser of the two.
I just really admire your skill to design and I feel like they'd make beautiful babies.
Thank you for your time!

Floeur In reply to Ghewler [2012-04-08 20:03:42 +0000 UTC]

I'm very honored by such a demand, but I will need to decline that offer.
Shinlais, this character's species, are a closed species and I don't think their creator would agree with this.
I'm very touched though. Thanks!~

Ghewler In reply to Floeur [2012-04-09 03:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Gosh that's a bummer.
But I'm glad you have given the creator the respect they deserve.
Also I was just wondering, why on earth would you be 'honored'? x3

Floeur In reply to Ghewler [2012-04-09 03:28:51 +0000 UTC]

Because I'm always more than glad to see people like my designs, no matter who it is. :3

omg he's looking so brill, I cannot even still one of my fave Lai out there.
I'm again re-considering changing Nill's design myself, possibly make her more like a tabby tiger in pelt color, because having both her and Nootau as red fire lai is kinda getting on my nerves OTL.
