Description Phew, I'm about ready to kill my photoshop. It was complaining the entire time I was coloring this... it wouldn't let me copy anything, it crashed twice (though luckily I had saved both times before that happened) and it was being generally slow. @__@

Imma defrag my HD after I submit this. |D;;

Anywho, I felt like creating a creature the other day (art block can be rather horrid) and so Jekyl was born.
He's based largely off of a Fennec fox (which are adorable creatures, if you don't know what they are, look em up. <3)

The glowing pattern at the bottom gave me grief. It took me about twenty minutes alone to try to figure out how to make it glow properly. :\

Jekyl © moi. <3

This is so cool, I love the expression on the Jackles face, it's so alive and sly

When I saw the title I thought it had something to do with "The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide"...
Again. Design is awesome. Looks like a really good character to me, I hope you develop it more! >u<

Hahaha, it was an on-purpose kind of thing. XD

Haha, thank you!
I'll have to see if I develop him more.... he's more of a one-shot character. :\

Oh. At first I was thinking of that book, "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" but then I saw it was Mr. Jekyl.

Hehehe, I had been thinking he looked like a Jackal, I named the file that, I read it as Jekyl and then the name stuck. It was only after I had named him that I made the book connection. XD

Hahaha, "The Year of the Jekyl"? XD

Thanks! The hands were actually inspired by my big toe. |D;;
I had been wearing flip flops and I was just kinda staring at it... and then I decided to give him chunky fingers. ;;OTL

Jekyl sounds like jackal.. XD Why that hits my brain first I don't know. But boy does he look crafty. 8O

That glowy may have been tedious, but it paid off- It looks very, very cool. (Why I can't find decent words.. Who knows. D< )

And fennec fox!! 8D!! THEY ARE ADORABLE. <3

Haha, that was the first animal I thought of when I finished drawing him.... then I realized the name "Jekyl" really suited him.
He IS a crafty little bugger. You probably couldn't keep him locked up anywhere. XD

Thank you! Glad you think so. |D

They ARE. <33

Suddenly I'm tempted to see who's craftier.. Inuhen or Jekyl. (Jekyl's name sounds cooler.. XD;; )

Course.. Inuhen only uses it to stalk/follow Kiyori around and land on her head. o_O;; So I guess Jekyl wins paws down. XD!
