My first entry for 2011. My OC character Kes Allyntahl who first came alive in '92 from a sketch done in boredom in my college religious studies class. I didn't intend her to become a Mary-sue character for some fandom, she arose more out of an evolutionary speculative idea of what would of have happened if humans evolved from something catlike instead of something simian. However if she was granted some magical powers, would that make her Sueish? If say she had a cloak that turned her into a fox or raven, is that taking it to the whole Mary Sue freak extreme? Should I just limit it to one animal form or have the cloak do some less flashy magic stuff like turn into a waterproof tent or boat? If you want, you can give me some advice, please let me know!

Kes Allyntal the Gerdin (C) mmpratt99 2011. DO NOT STEAL!

Medium--colored pencil, lithograph crayon, black marker and white sharpie on recycled paper.

There's a lot of them around my place. I see them fighting with the crows sometime.

Also, the ability to fade into the darkness and apear as animals is a pretty common bit of mythology among indians. Shamns were believed to be able to shapeshift into animals.

I wouldn't mind shape-shifting into a bird once in a while, seeing that the price of gas is rising.

Your once skewered anatomy looks quite well here. The cover is pretty bad though, no offense intended.
But this, this picture, this is nice.

So you think this picture would make a much better cover then?

I do. It's much better than any other work you've ever uploaded here on deviantart. The anatomy is flawless.

Thank you so much for the in-depth critique. Yeah, I was just thinking how my earlier work in anatomy is in need of major improvement.

Thank you. Would giving her some magic make her a little too perfect and lacking in realism?

I don't think so

I asked my dad if it would be better for her to be some sort of were or to just have the shape-shifting powers concentrated in a cloak. He said a cloak would be much better than just having her be born with mystical or superhuman powers.

Beauty. I didn't know sharpies came in white. I must have,
The white in the eyes makes it real.
