Description Ahhh, I love this character ;u;

Was originally a fox adopt I got a while back, but I loved the design and adopted her. I redesigned her from a fox to a hybrid of a caracal, coati, and linsang. Turned out rather dragonish, but I like long characters too much. ;o;
Here's the original design with the fox body: sta.sh/01deqcb479z1 I really didn't change much other than lighten/darken a few parts, increase the stripe amount from 3 to 5 to fit the longer tail, and the obvious anatomy change.
The original design was by Daexmos I believe. If I'm wrong, I'm so sorry for my memory failing ;_;

Anyways, I think she might be one of my new favorite characters, and it started out with me just playing with designs while trying to get out of a bit of an art block. 

Some more info on her:
Name: Lokali (Loh-kah-lee)
Nickname: Loka or Kali
Gender: Female
Species: Caracoati (care-uh-ko-wah-tee)
Age: Young Adult

Anatomy tips: Face is mostly coati-like, with a slightly shortened snout, and a bit more angular from the cat-like features. Eyes are caracal-like. Tail is coati based, and is flexible. Sometimes seen curled a bit at the tip, as coatis sometimes hold their tails. Paws are caracal-like, with retractable claws, and dewclaws that help grip tree bark. Body is long like a linsang, and flexible like a cat. Belly fur scrunches up when curled (as shown). Can look significantly smaller by curling up as well. She has light whiskers, though they are not shown here (forgot to add them, oops). Fur is mainly medium length, but has longer fur around the face, tips of the ears, back (starting behind shoulders), elbows/thighs, and tail. Close in size to a large caracal (if it was longer). 
Rough estimate of size: 1.5 ft at shoulder// 3 ft w/neck stretched// 5 ft with tail fully extended//57 lbs

More on Personality: While she is mainly calm, relaxed and docile, she can have a temper if people get on her bad side. It is pretty hard to get her angry though. However, she's usually more on the shy side and prefers to avoid conflicts in the first place. While the species is a bit more sociable, she is a bit of an introvert. Doesn't like large crowds, and gets tired out easily. She doesn't hate being social, and is very friendly, but after so much, she prefers to go back to her trees and take a nap.

She loves trees and climbing/hiding away in secret spots. While she prefers being in trees, sometimes she likes to take a swim as well, especially on hot days so she can cool off easier. Not hugely active, but does enjoy playing around at times.

Diet: Omnivorous, mainly carnivorous. Loves fresh meats and fruits. Has a sweet tooth for fruits such as strawberries, cherries, bananas, watermelon, etc. Also scrounges for nuts and berries, and loves fish. While the species is also known to eat insects and carrion (and scavenge pretty much anything), she is rather picky with foods.

I think that's about it, at least all I can think of now. I've been up all night working on this ref sheet, when it was meant to be a quick doodle to try to figure out a new design for her.... then I got caught up in it and the time went by too fast. Now my wrist hurts and I'm really tired lol xD

Oh, and I went through my character list and tried updating/organizing it earlier, and guess how many I currently have? 60
Wish me luck with getting them all refs eventually haha. Some characters I may either redesign (like how this one was redesigned) or adopt out or something.

long body ^^ <3
awesomeness <3 <3

I didn't know you could change the species of adopts if so, I'm sure I would have gotten a few more XD
p.s sorry for not putting caps where needed- iPad doesn't automatically put them there on a new paragraph and I always forget and am falling asleep right now so better get this sent

Kasaurus In reply to starling16 [2014-07-09 01:57:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!

Well, unless the person who made the adopt strictly specifies otherwise, I always kinda took it more as buying the design, but the species could be open to interpretation (especially if it's something like a wolf or fox). It'd be different if I were adopting for both the species and design, so it just depends on the situation. I already have a few fox based characters, so for this one, I decided to change the species into something different and a bit more fun for me, since I LOVE the color scheme and placement of the markings. It would have been too much of a shame to let the character go to waste.

And it's fine, you don't have to apologize for something like that haha

Welcome, as always

I like the way you think haha there's an awful lot of unloved chars out there.

Really? I thought some people might think worse of me for it, as it seems sometimes when people see misspellings or missing caps they assume the person doesn't know how to do it correctly or something lol, idk. Don't know why.

Kasaurus In reply to starling16 [2014-07-11 07:57:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, most of mine are too so far, they need to be loved D: *awaits the time when I'm free to work on refs and art of them freely again*

It's fine, I don't even use correct grammar half the time unless it's important, and mistakes happen as for misspelling and stuff. Missing caps is the least of anyone's problems, and with punctuation, it should be enough to tell one sentence from the next lol. 
I've gotten used to people on here in general either not using proper grammar/spelling just because of laziness, on purpose, or other reasons, and I know a lot of people are from other countries whose first language is not english. So I applaud them for anything they learn and respect those that can make more coherent sentences than some people I know from our country haha. Got a little off topic, but yeah, don't worry about it. xD

I absolutely love coatis!  I can really see that part of the hybrid in the face and tail, especially the nose.  This creature design as a whole is really adorable.

Your welcome   I had to look up linsangs, they look cool too. Now I see where that long body came from.   But yes viverrids are awesome!  Like genets- they have such beautiful fur patterns.
