Description
Nestly: Nestly's first reference sheet! Wheeeee.I really overdid this...
Anyways, I freaking worked my ASS of on this bugger, so I'm really proud of it. This is something I'd usually separate into five or so different deviations.
Have to give a whopping thanks to Centch though, from helping me with the anatomy from the freaking text on it. ;^;
Maybe I'll make some references of other characters of mine. XD ...... *coughhellnocough*
The part below is simply part of the reference, so you don't need to read that. Just info on fun little Cricket here. ^o^
-----
Original Full Human Name: Oliver Tokee
Nickname: “Cricket” (And the only name he actually knows and goes by now)
Experiment: 10 (Failed and Freed under surveillance)
Species: Sugar Glider | Seagull | Lion Fish
Gender: Male
Age: Around 15-16 (He doesn’t exactly know himself)
Likes: Fresh Fruit and Delicious Cuisine, Nick Knacks and small things like bugs and marbles, his stupid little ladybug puffy hat, friendly people, sunny weather.
Dislikes: Asparagus (only food he can’t stand), deep Water, heights, fighting, thinking hard, mean people, cold or snowy weather.
Traits: Friendly (Mostly annoying), Spazzy, Funny, Coward, Unhelpful, Positive, Overall happy (rarely serious), amused easily.
Abilities: Excellent Swimming and lungs able to hold his breath for a few hours and travel quite deep. (Though being under water scares him too much to really do that. Pfft.)
The fin like ‘antenna’ poking out of his forehead allow him to hear very well under water and let him read the ocean deep like a map.
Excellent climbing abilities and jumping from one high spot to the next. (Though he’s too afraid of heights to really use this ability either.)
Can take intense heat and look directly into the sunlight without affecting his vision, but he gets dehydrated easily and the colder weather is intolerable for him.
Notes-
-Wears his hat at all times. Mostly due to the large circle of shaved hair on the back of his head, (the hair in this spot is considerably shorter then the rest now, and stitching outlines the edges)
-The backpack he carries with him is full of mostly junk, and a lot of pointless, random items he likes.
-He has a large fin on his back that he rarely extends to poke out and be seen. It’s the only fish-like part that’s poisonous. (Unlike the fins on his cheeks which are harmless)
-Nearly his entire chest is stitched like a stuffed animal.
-He’s never seen the experiment number tattooed on the back of his neck, as it’s covered by his short hair and impossible for him to see on his own.
-He’s a huge coward, and overall pretty weak. He’ll even ditch his friends to avoid a fight; he gets so scared, and if he does happen to be involved in a fight, he gives up easily and even fakes dead or unconsciousness.
Experimental Information: Not the brightest of sorts, Cricket was most likely led into a trap of this experimentation, or went of his own free will, only to regret it later, or rather- never know anything of it at all. As an experiment based mostly for flight capabilities at first, he went under various tests to help him climb and glide from long distances, which failed to succeed due to the weight of his body. He later was tested for underwater activity; mostly to give the ability to breath underwater and track enemies of the sea. This was failed after many tries and his body was unable to take anymore tests. While it gave him great swimming abilities, he was still not able to completely breathe underwater. One last experiment was undergone, which involved manipulating his actual brain and editing his memory. While this was only meant to destroy any memory of the lab time, it affected most of his memories and overall knowledge, and when he was returned to be free, he couldn’t even remember his name or age; only vague memories of the past. Thus, he was given the nickname “Cricket”, by the humble locals that took him in, due to the fins on his forehead that looked like bug antennas. The name was kept after they realized he never shut up, even in the late hours of the night. “Cricket! Stop chirpin’ and go to sleep!”
Description: Cricket can be a little off his rocker at times. He acts younger then he is, (probably because of his long time in the labs that he doesn’t recall, and loss of most memories) and is usually a hyperactive little ball of sunshine. He gets on others nerves often, since he complains and whines a lot when no ones talking to him. (He doesn’t really like to be quiet. EVER.)
He can be a pest; tricking and pulling pranks on people to ‘lighten them up’, or teasing people who give him a hard time, but he’s extremely considerate and sympathetic of misfortunes and losses.
He gets distracted easily, usually wandering off to follow a butterfly or something like that. He has the attention span of a gnat, and doesn’t do the best thinking, though you’d be surprised at what ideas would pop into his head.
He has no memory of being experimented on, and just considers himself, ‘different’; not caring too much about his strange traits. He loves meeting new people however, and will follow you to the ends of the earth... as long as you’re nice and provide him with sweets. ;3

Nestly: I have no idea. 8( This was for a project my friend was doing with 21 experiments, but I think she kinda lost interest in it since it's been over a year. D:
I might have to think of something else entirely for Cricket here some time. XD

This is the biggest ref sheet I've ever seen! o 3o You got down to so many details! XD
How long did this take you? o no
I can't get over how cool you shade. ; o;
It looks so labor intensive! Dx
I also LOVE that dorky hat! ; n; If I had it, I'd wear it everyday! XD

That's a good thing! Most should always keep that thought in mind! When you want to outdo something, that's a way of inspiring yourself to work harder! <3
Psh, but the end product looks amazing. o uo
The more labor put into it, the better it looks, and the better you feel in the end. x3

He looks very unique...vedy vedy unique ^_^ I can never think up a character like this! I'm gonna this pic for all your hard work! Keep up the great work Nestly!
I have had anatomy problems b4. Last year, I wasn't able to do alot of stuff (like drawing the hands n' otha annoying stuff) and Centch helped me out through all of the craziness! She is such a blessing in my life and I thank God for her coz I seriously couldn't have done it w/o her help! @~@ It's pretty cool to have her as an art teacher kind of way! ^_^

And ohmygosh Cho... I feel so bad.. I accidentally left those fabulous windchimes you gave me at Centch's.

Aww so here it is! I began drawing Cricket and then fell asleep leaving my computer on, and when I returned the link you had sent me changed and I couldn't see his anthro form. D: Now that I have it I can feenish. >: D
Wow Nestly those top right hand pictures were SO well drawn. xD But seriously that Lion Fish is so cool looking.. I've never even heard of them.
And who doesn't carry around a Cactus in their backpack? I mean I wouldn't be caught dead without my Venus Fly Trap in my jean pocket. Seriously though Cricket what'chu planing on doing with a Cactus? 80 I am quiet interested in that now. ;0 And Dorky hat? If I seriously had a hat like that I'd never take it off either. xD! Like. I would walk into an opera house wearing a "Cinderella" dress and still have that hat on. I think it's adorable and soo cool. |D
And aww... D: He can't swim and he's afraid of heights? D: WELL. At least he can take advantage of getting a taaann without burning. |D (Unlike moi. I burn like a egg on the sidewalk on a scorching hot day... ecept, even if it's not scorching hot. )
NOW. Enough with observations and down to art. |D;;
Cricket looks freaking adorable in all three forms. I personally like his human form the best. 0: (You should draw humans more often. You're very good at it. ) I also really like his human pose. And his quad form.. just.. soo mind bogglingly (aha took me a few times to say that one right. xD) adorable. To me he seems all :333 on the outside, but on the inside I bet he's thinking, "Omfg. MANGO... oh wai.. look cute for the picture. 8D; "
I want his hair. D: And his pants. Oh and can't forget about the hat. +0+
Cricket is just such an adorable character of yours Nestly. 8] He's really interesting, and this is also a very well explained refference of him. :] Now I know about him. |D *Ahem*
Well again wonderful job Nestly. 8D
(Aha! Long-ass comment... [And I think the longest one I've ever posted] Rose is back! Also a nice welcome back gift. "HAI NESTLY... werfuiwefkwef *insert long-ass comment after she spent some time reading messages from when she was gone*")

Well... Venus Fly-traps aren't CACTI! xD But yeah, Cricket's an idiot. He just has it because he likes it. He even has a name for the damn thing I bet. D<
Hahaha, well he mostly wears it because he's missing hair in the back of his head and it looks weird. xD But yeah he loves that hat.
Yeah really. XD Useless loser. I tan easily too though. I was extremely pale before going to Florida.
Hahaha, yeah his human form looks awesome, but the only reason I was able to pull that off, was because Centch helped me.
I want to make a hat like that. XD
Hahah, you freak. xD Yeah this IS a really long comment. But that's okay. We miss those days, don't we? ;D And thanks so much Rose. You're crazy. 8D
