Description
I'm obsessed with these guys. My take on what a Selonian would look like, just based on descriptions. Their 'official' look is drastically different. But this is what a Selonian looks like in my mind, sort of a cross between an otter and a ferret (but with a pointier head). I could get really technical and tell you about the webbing between her toes and using her tail as a counterbalance and using Ky and Goldie's notes on quadrupeds evolving into bipeds and Selonians being able to go on all fours just as on two legs and whatnot. INSTEAD i'll just give you a description.Sarrasska is an albino Selonian, rejected by her den because of her albinism (Selonians don't NEED to reject the young, but as a group primarily concerned with the well-being of the den, its instinct to do so.) She was raised by humans on Corellia, and taught the ways of Selonians that come above ground (these are specially trained to deal with humans, and do not behave as they would with others of their kind, they are made to make humans feel comfortable with them.) So you can see why Rrasska would be so confused about Selonian behavior and body language, and why they are so aggressive toward her. She still has the 'Den instinct", however, and many other instincts that come naturally to a Selonian. However, she seems to be the only one of her kind that has the ability to lie. Her upbringing in the seedier parts of Corellia contributes to this.
By nature, Sarrasska is moody, humorless, and very protective of her " den". She is strong , agile, and a powerful swimmer, and is a valuable addition to a trio of mercenaries.
I plan on coloring this.
(Thats probably the longest description you'll ever get out of me.)

I like your character, but what I believe is more interesting is how to capture her expressions, like anger, grief, joy or pleasure. The Selonians, particulary the ones of KOTOR are more static and are expressionless. Is more easy to understand their emotions through their arms, mouths and body moviments, otherwise is difficult to understand what a Selonian is really expressing at the moment.

That's awesome! I'm a huge Selonian fan, too and also have a character (called Salou). You made them look very cool, like some sort of mustelid ( I love mustelids ), though I like their "official" design,too. I draw them only like this. That's definitely a fav! Keep up the great artwork!
Selonians rule!

Selonians don't wear clothes, err, rather they don't wear much clothing. Mostly just ornamental jewelry and stuff. I have seen some depicted with clothing (ever seen an animal in a costume? yeah, it looks about the same)
But anyway, commando is the way to go, baby!

e_e you moved accounts but I comment anyway and it deserves a comment.
I really like the movement of the pose as well as the way the paws came out all of them. The jewelry is a nice touch and not over done which is good. Sometimes it's easy to go a lil overboard. (3 and she's pretty.

That's spiffy...it's kind of an unusual postion to draw, but it's completely realistic, and I feel as if any moment now I will be attacked by the Karate Ferret. Plus I like its jewelry.
