For someone who doesn't like making refs, I sure am making a lot of them. xD;

He has an iridescent butt. cB

Basic
Name........... Tastwa (tahs-twah)
Alignment.... Neutral Good
Gender........ male
Age.............. 59 years
Maturity equivalent... 19/20 years
Birthdate....... July 7
Species......... Kyzen
Subspecies... Borea Kyzen
Height........... 7' 4" to shoulder

Colors
Body............ mottled blue and red (colors blend making him appear purple-red)
Underside.... I'm not sure how to describe that color xD; It's kind of a warm grey. You can pick that color off the ref if you are unable to reproduce it
Mouth.......... gums and front of tongue: minty green
Markings...... iridescent white
Feathers...... base: red. patterns: white
Horns.......... red
Wings......... Dorsal* membrane: same as body. Ventral* membrane: same as body, fades to same color as belly
Eyes........... silver
Mane......... maroon
Spade........ maroon

*dorsal=top, ventral=bottom. In my refs, the dorsal side of the wing is always on top and the ventral is always underneath.

Physical
Tastwa is unique in that he has a mottled base rather than a solid color. The most interesting part is that neither of his parents carry the gene that would produce such coloration. Their bodies are similar to the color of Tastwa's underside. The genes that control pigmentation has severely mutated, resulting in mottled colors, gradation of colors from dorsal to ventral, and the unusual mint color of his gums and tongue and part of the tear duct.
The markings on his body are iridescent white. They subtly reflect the colors around him. They may appear to glow, but they don't. They just reflect a lot of light.

Personality
Tastwa is bold and overconfident, and slightly narcissistic, but he knows his limits. He is also silly, happy-go-lucky, and random. He's like the joker and dare-devil of his tribe.

Sweet! Tribals are a-okay! Their markings come in any pattern.
ha ha, I really like elk antlers, but pronghorn would be really neat.. but elk antlers might fit the tribal-like design better.
lol I have no idea. xD;

Why would it be difficult?

Khezix In reply to 14Karat [2009-07-08 02:21:02 +0000 UTC]

Because I have difficulties shading him. xD Gradient and mottled colors are just hard to shade.

Finion591 [2009-07-07 13:01:20 +0000 UTC]

With his markings he look like he would wear pants...Does he has paw pads?

And I do like the colors you choose for him.

Khezix In reply to Finion591 [2009-07-07 23:09:41 +0000 UTC]

Yep, he has paw pads. It protects his toes from the cold snow and rough rocks. His feet are completely covered with the rough skin, but the long fur covers most of his feet.

Thank you. c:

Floeur In reply to Khezix [2009-07-08 14:36:18 +0000 UTC]

I have a question: Does red is a light color? I would like to create a red Kyzen and you say that they have light base colors...

Khezix In reply to Floeur [2009-07-08 20:13:40 +0000 UTC]

They can be dark, it's just not as common because it's sort of a recessive gene. Go ahead and use any shade of red you'd like.
