Description An image of my own character, the Peacock, to show off his back tattoo.

I'll just give a vague description, I'll try to update with a ref sheet at some point.

He is a kitsune creature that can wield energy (he can create solid objects/ create extensions of his body such as wings and claws). The number of tails he has cycles from one to nine within each month. The energy he can wield also alters with his number of tails, with highest power with nine tails.

He was given up as a small child to a fighting house as his parents could no longer afford to house him (due to many brothers and sisters and not enough money). They nicknamed him Peacock due to his vanity and love for showing-off. They trained him to become an elite soldier/assassin and when he reached maturity gave him the distinctive Peacock tattoo on his back. As a result of several events, he ends up working with my other character Renan, who barely tolerate each other.

My dream would be to do a comic or graphic novel of these characters but I doubt I'll ever find the time.

Also just out of interest, would people like commissions in this style? I kinda need work that doesn't take me as long. They would be cheaper than my usual digi work...still haven't decided a poss price. Just fishing for possible interest, not actual commission jobs as yet.

He really is quite the smexy beast

But I can tell you love him. It's hard not to love a character you put your heart into designing. ^_^

I'm glad I stumbled upon your gallery!

That pose is so badass! It shows off all the little details of the character, from his backstory (obviously some sort of assassin or something like that) to the long claws, the multiple tails, and the awesome tattoo - just hope to see the front end of it someday (what's the peacock's head look like?). Great introduction to an awesome character!

It seems like a pretty decent style. I would consider a commission in a similar style, but it might help to have more samples of what you mean (and of course, prices). I could take some guesses on how this is different from what you normally do, but I'd like to hear in your own words why this is easier for you.

This is probably one of the first pictures I've seen of a multi-tailed critter where I actually like how the tails split from the tailbone. Maybe it's a small detail, but I appreciate it!

This character took a lot of planning and I can tell your very fond of him. I am too! This is a beautiful design for an assassin and I'm glad that you put his past into his image and also the description. I love it when art is put into full depth.

About the tattoo... I am VERY fond of tattoos so this is now one of my personal favorite drawings ^_^ Well done... I'd love to see more of this wonderful art from you soon!

Thank you! I appreciate it when someone recognises the work that goes into creating a character, not just the picture.

I wanted him to appear beautiful but strong, I like the contrast of strong male bods with traditionally feminine designs such as flowers and birds.

I'm honoured it's now one of your fav pics!

^_^ No problem... take a look at my stuff sometime and you'll see why!

You did a great job on creating his character.

Thanks, that's what I was really trying for. I thought it would make him a bit different from the standard white canids.

I'm honoured you took the time to comment. I'm in such awe of your work.

Looks really cool, but without being able to see the head, it sort of looks like a stylized octopus (which I personally think would be even cooler).
