Description Presenting a very special design I'm very proud of! So I was thinking for fun, "What would a cat-like creature look like in the Twilight Realm?" (of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) Afterall, there should be more Twilit creatures. This is what I came up with, and I've decided to call the creature a Kahndris.

A few (extra) design notes about the Kahndris:

-Skinny, skeleton-like body
-"Fingers" instead of paws
-Stone mask for face, head very flat
-Tall, greyhound-size
-Capable of using fingertips for extra grip & to grab prey
-Walks on fingertips
-Male & female versions
-Black markings on body, but specific pattern doesn't apply

Enjoy!

I saw this and I thought it looked awesome just from the thumbnail. It's rare to see people take an animal and twist it into the TP "style" I guess you'd say. After seeing so many plainly recolored real-world animals, it's nice to come across something such as this. I think it looks creepy, personally. That skinny and lanky body along with the lack of a face is just creepy! In a good way of course though. The idea that the male has a mane and the female doesn't is a very simple difference between the two and it works very nicely. I can definitely see the resemblance to a cat in this design as well. Very interesting concept! I like it a lot.

Aw thanks Fera, I really appreciate the comment! And I'm very glad you like the concept! I think a lot of the TP animals I've seen from other artists are really cute, but don't necessarily match what I consider the dark and twisted style. Maybe I twisted it a bit too far, but the Shadow Beasts show ribs and Kargarocs are essentially headless horrors, so maybe it's not all that strange.

You're welcome! I'd have to agree with that. They are cute but just look like they're not meant for TP a lot of the time. And psh, you didn't twist it too far at all! I think it matches the game's look quite well. I could easily see these guys in the Twilight Realm (probably taking care of those darn pesky twilit rats you see in the palace ).
