Description
Art is (C) *WingedHippocampus do not trace, vector, alter, make bases from, repost, or reuse in any way without permission.LIONS ARE HARD TO DRAW. I DISCOVERED THIS WHILE MAKING THIS PICTURE. D8
A character concept, more or less, and such it is subject to change in design.
I blame Lufia 2 and the obscenely adorable sphynx enemies you get to fight later in the game. Tried to base her looks more on the Greek than Egyptian sphynx, which ended up changing her hair type and skin tone from my original doodle. |3
She needs a name. 8D; Xena? Zandria? Iola? Chloe? Help me out here, Nikki. (or anyone with an opinion, really x3 )

I love the hair, and the way you painted the metal on her <3
You're really good with cool effects like that.
She's adorable. I like the name Iola, for whatever reason.

I can't take the credit for the metal, it's mostly gradients that come with the GIMP program. But thank you! Iola seems to be the most popular name.

I look at her and I just think "Tabitha" for some reason, although I like "Chloe" from your list of suggestions, and going off of that I think "Cleo" would be appropriate. ^_^
Still, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, and likewise no matter what this sphinx's name winds up being, I will still find her super adorable. You do an excellent job of putting the three separate species-lion, human, and bird-together into one form with a pose that I think manages to suggest a highly adaptive young lady; she's in a four-legged position now, but you get the sense she could go on her hind legs alone if she wanted. Plus, she has that big bright smile 'n' those lovely adorable eyes and you just wanna pet her and give her treats and scritch her chin and <333.
So yes. I liek her a lot. :3 Though I'm curious: that brace on her wing...is that decorative, or meant to help with an injury?

Cleo is a little stereotypical for a sphynx, I think. >_> Cleopatra and all that. The wing cuff was Nikki's idea and I think she just meant it to be decoration, though I could also see it as a bracer.

Yes, I know, that's why I thought of it (well, that 'n' 'cuz it's the name of the fish from "Pinocchio" >_>; ). I's smart liek that. 8B But yeah, "Tabitha" or "Chloe" come before "Cleo" in my book.
And interesting. I think you could do some very cool stuff with the "injured wing" idea, but it works well as a decoration too, so do as you will, I'll still

Nikki has an Egyptian sphynx named Malisha who has crippled wings, actually.

I vote Iola~
It seems a cuddly name, for a very cuddly-looking Sphynx. *cuddles her*
Animals in general are hard to draw. *Is jealous of your lovely pictures and characters and ...bwah :c*

Iola seems to be most popular so far. Thanks!

What about Pyra, Greek for fire, as her eyes remind me of fire?

Alcina is greek in origin and means strong minded... Lola means dawn in greek language.. I also like Xena

D'aww! She's so cute! Though is she just as deadly as a normal sphinx if you get her riddle wrong?
How about "Noelani?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my yes. If you fail, she'll eat you like a McHumanburger.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uh-oh. We'd best be careful. (Now I'm seeing visions of a dragon-/other monster-run fast food join called "McHumanburger.")

...now I'm seeing the sphynx in a fast food uniform and it is adorable.

You should totally draw that!

cute sphynx is cute, I want to take her home and feed her cookies and in return she can blow my mind with riddles XP.
I think you did a great job on the lion part I can recognise it as a lion, mind you I also know what a spynx is so that helps too 
Her face is adorable and I love the design of the clothes. Those wings look great too the way you did them makes them stand out.

I think Iola is a cute and unique name, frankly^^ She's so adorable! X3 And yes, anything with four legs can be a pain to draw XD

Those eyes! So expressive! That's defintley one of your strong points Tobi. That, and your professional looking colouring.
Maybe Xera as for the name thing? I'm not really good at naming stuff...

Oh my gosh this is so adorable! I really love the pose and the overall design. The colours are great too!

Vashti is a great name. ^^ But Iola seems the most popular, so I'll probably go with that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome! XD Now that I think of it, I might use Vashti myself.
Actually, my cats parents names are Vashti (queen) and Balta (sire).
I might make them into adorable anthros. They are the most beautiful cats!
(And their Sons are fantastic too XD)
