Description OMG I'M SO HAPPEH THAT THIS IS FINISHED. <3

At first I wasn't too big of a fan of this Shinlai's colors/design, but after making his ref, I've fallen in love with him. Big time.

And I'll have you know, my computer froze 10+ when I was making this. ;A;

Can you also see that I was beginning to have the fancy for sweets? Ra's color scheme reminded me so much of ice cream. Specifically strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate.
Damn you, you time of the month. D<

Man... I really love his design. For some reason I really adore him a lot and I can't stop looking at him.

Hmm I'm slightly ashamed that I forgot to comment on this XD
I love how you've drawn and developed this guy! He looks fantastic and friendly but able to hold his own in a squabble. I also love how fuzzy his face is! Makes me go baww each time XD And that was a neat idea including the map on his sheet *might do that too*
I pretty much love him XD

Welcome to the team!

This big guy is gorgeous! I loved his look when Alana put his design up for adoption and I still do now! Great job on the backstory too ^^

Read the whole sheet, very impressive, my dear. You put a lot of work into this, and it shows! His colors were hard for me to put together, I planned on making him black and white, but this just seemed to fit the Shinlai better, but I'm glad you like it now. Since he is your Shinlai, you are free to edit and change as you please. Just try to keep the overall look the same lol

Anyway, I love his story, he's such a kind beastie <3 Thank you so much for doing this, it cheers me up to see this <333

Yay, I'm so glad I was able to cheer you up with this. <3

And as for his design, I love ittttt. I probably won't do a whole lot of changing. Though, every time I began to draw him, I had the biggest urge to draw a little bit of fluff on his legs. :T
So maybe I'll do that. Not a whole bunch, but just a little hint of hair there.

<33
Anyhow. THANK YOU so so so much, for giving me the opportunity to have my own Shinlai. I fell in love with your species when I first laid my eyes on them, and wondered how I would ever get one myself. And now, after much silent stalking, I have one of my own. xD
And I pinkie promise, that I'll draw him as much as I can. <3

Beautiful ref sheet. I love the hooks on his mask

He's very virtuous isn't he :3

Xainra In reply to Bleu-Bells [2010-07-15 16:41:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! C:
And yes, he is a very virtuous character. I noticed that all my characters (most of them anyways) were all meanies. And I decided that I needed someone nice for a change. Which lead to his personality.

Lol, I seem to have that problem too It's just, mean characters are so FUN!

Xainra In reply to Bleu-Bells [2010-07-15 16:55:23 +0000 UTC]

EXACTLYYY.
They're just so evily-evil. I mainly like mean characters because I love how their minds work, and why they do what they do. <3
I think if I'm ever able to, I want to make a dark Shinlai female. But who knows when that'll happen.

Bleu-Bells In reply to Xainra [2010-07-15 17:03:35 +0000 UTC]

Me too ^^ I think all my evil characters are compensation for the fact that I'm not evil, like AT ALL

(And yeah, given the choice I'd make a Dark Shinlai male )

THANKS. I had such a hard time with the ref itself, ironically. xD
See all those weird boxes on the bottom? Yeah. That was one huge box, with nothing but empty space in it. And I could think of NOTHING to put in it. It was so frustrating! So I sliced it up into a bunch of smaller boxes. xD


So in a sense... I murdered that little box for being useless. ._.
