Description
A sketch prompt I took while slightly inebriated, for a sphynx sphinx with tattoos. I accidentally a character.This is Io, born with a genetic skin condition that prevents her from growing much fur or feathers. She’s sensitive to the sun, and cannot fly, but given that it’s more of an optional activity in Sphinx society, it hasn’t inhibited her much, and she risks greater shame of injury at the prospect of a sunburn.
In spite of this, she’s clawed and bitten and mauled her way up to shedu status, at least before Hypaetia wipes the floor with her.
I don't know what kind of tattoos the sphinx would have, and I don't think they're great artists anyway, so I copied some old Scythian ones.

this is probably the best sphinx I've ever seen x)
Her tattoos look so detailed and the shape of her face is very unique
She should wear cool wigs <:

XD I love the innovation of a naked sphinx. People always use beautiful women parts and exotic animal bits, so this is a pretty refreshing change of pace. <3 I ALSO WANT TO GIVE HER A SWEATER.

I love this sooo muh. XD All of the skintones and wrinkles jsut gives her so much personality. She looks so sneaky too. Somehow makes me think of mama fortuna's sideshow from The Last Unicorn...seems like she'd fit there. ^.^

Taking away the fur on the neck somehow makes this one of the most disconcerting, terrifying creatures I've ever seen. Fabulous character concept, just freaky!
