Description Look! Another tom OC. (maybe)

This is Djembe, my African inspired kitty. His name is pronouced Jim-bay, and he is named after the African drum "Djembe".

He is the brother to 's Katereina, 's Qwerty, and 's Najwa.

Jem is an oriental shorthair, and is rather lanky and long limbed. He is obviously mainly white with grey and cream patches and markings all over his body. His only accessory is his teal head band, and hanging from the band is dyed animal fur, not feathers. His head band was also inspired by Najwa's arm bands. I thought it would be cute for him to have something that resembles one of his sister's accessories.

Personality wise, Djembe is a free spirit and very personal. He enjoys interacting with others; however, Jem has a tendency to "do his own thing." He doesn't like being kooped up, and would rather move freely without certain responsibilities tying him down. He will do what is necessary in order to take care of his sisters, but he gives them space to do their own thing, and doesn't crowd them. Also, he doesn't like the be told what to do. He is all about "freedom" and being able to do as he pleases.

Nevertheless, Jem is pleasant and an all around easy going fella. He just has his quirks.

I am also going to go on ahead and open him up for mating.

Katereina, Qwerty, and Najwa (c) Their respected owners

*sigh* I wish I had a queen available to offer XD
He's gorgeous, and I didn't offer a mate the first time I saw this because I assumed he'd have already been snatched right up! XD

Thanks dear!

Djembe is taken now though. The only two characters I do have open for mating is Toris and Fiore.

Hmmm, I've got just Bieksa single, but she's a bit...eccentric.

He's beautiful! And I love how resembles Najwa, and also Katereina and Qwerty of course.
Oriental mix, that means he's their half brother then. Since they are purebreds.

Aprodite In reply to Kvitter [2010-06-09 18:25:52 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Glad you like him! And I love how he looks like Najwa as well. I did that because Qwerty and Katereina kinda look a like.

And I thought they all were Oriental mix; my bad! I will change that then.

oh my goodness! What a cutie pie I'm also really digging that tree he's sitting in. Seems like one really cool dude. I'd offer a mate but I don't have anyone open at the moment

Aprodite In reply to Lykaios-Garou [2010-06-09 02:36:38 +0000 UTC]

That is fine, he will find someone eventually.

And thanks! The trees kinda turned out bad in my opinion, but I still like him.

rodentfanatic [2010-06-09 01:08:11 +0000 UTC]

OMG AWESOME

I'm not sure what caught my eyes first, trees or the patterns. On the former, firstly just adding them in was great, it allows him to have a much more interesting pose than just a basic standing pic, and shows off his personality as a carefree type, just the sort to be hangin' out like that. The way you did the bark really impresses me.

On the latter, I love how you make simple splotches in neutral colors just so damn PRETTY looking how do you do that.

And since everyone else is mentioning which of their chars would like him--he's got a good deal in common with Lefty, who is also all about freedom and running around and doing what's fun and not worrying about anything else. Too bad Pollicles can't climb trees!

Aprodite In reply to rodentfanatic [2010-06-09 02:35:52 +0000 UTC]

To bad indeed! I think he and Lefty would get along also.

And thanks dear! I am really pleased with the way he came out. I was kinda skeptical at first about the greys and creams, but I honestly love him and his markings. As for the pose, he needed something...different. Glad you noticed!!

His personality I got from the over all feel of South Africa. The people were SO very nice, but they this sort of "free" spirit about them that makes them unique.
