Description
Clouds, it seems, make surprisingly good anthros.I don't know what inspired this. Probably a mixture of Mario Galaxy and Sky Girls, but it could also have something to do with the fact that I just enjoy cloudwatching in general, and enjoy looking at shapes that form in clouds.
Since clouds are capable of taking so many different forms, it got me thinking about what it would be like if a cloud were a sentient being, and this is apparently the result.
This little cirrus cloud's body is made up entirely of water, which is like their flesh and blood. If a cloud is injured or made to "rain", the water will disperse, often causing the cloud to lose its limbs depending on how severe the damage is. Of course, it's possible for them to regain function later if they absorb more vapor, but that takes time.
The sword that he wields is a relic from the Cirrus clan that's imbued with the power of wind. In this picture, he's testing it out in clear skies, probably so he can do battle with menacing storm clouds or cyclones later on.
Lol, you're probably worried I'll make another series out of this, right?
*edit* There are quite a few messy and ugly lines/edges in this picture that I'm not at all happy with. Expect me to replace it with a cleaned-up version later on. The shading could be cleaner as well, I think.
*edit 2*Wow, I never expected to get a daily dev for this! Thank you very much, TaurusJ and Skifi for making it happen.

Coooool. I've never seen this done before! And the style kind of reminds me of Rayman, my favorite game when I was a kid.

Hohohoh.
You probably hate furry, which is a totally different subculture altogether. Anthro has deserves no hatred as an art style if it's done well.

Yannow, I could use this as a visual reference for a vapor mephit in any D&D game I might run...

No, that's not what I mean. I mean I'll look up the image and show it as an alternate illustration for vapor mephits.
I am not an art thief.

Why didn't you expect this to become a daily deviation, it looks great! I, not being much of an artist, can't find anything wrong with this picture. It illuminates off the screen and is very mystical with all the clouds!

Very nice work! I how you have a story behind it all. That is a true trademark of a creator, not just an empty image it has a meaning behind it.

Wow, this is a really interesting idea... I'd have never thought to use clouds as a medium.
Huh. Now you've got me thinking about other element anthros. I'll have to toy with this... very awesome design, and I love the sword!

"worried" that you'll make a series out of it? No, no! "Looking forward to" might be better.
Either way, that is one awesome idea, and spectacularly done.

Wow. This is such a great idea. And I love watching the clouds take on all those different shapes, too. X3
He looks very serious, certainly is concentrating hard. ^..^ I love how you made his body clear-ish, like a shimmery clear brook or stream. So neat. ^..^
