A reference sheet that's been waaaaaaay overdue for my little faun, Jankin~ <333
Now that I'm not suffering at the hands of college (instead its life now) I'm catching up on all the art I haven't been able to do for the past four years. e n e So all of my goat pants darlings are getting facelifts and makeovers! And on this sheet is a guest appearance by my hamster, Mugsy! I'm shutting up, short bio below~

Name: Jankin (pronounced Jann - ken)
Nicknames: Jan, Kiddo, Jack, Goat Pants, Jackalope
Age: Appears to be in early 20's
Sex: Male
Species: Seelie Faun (Icelandic Goat with Pronghorn and Rabbit traits)

Eyes: Blue with dark red sclera
Complexion: Pale
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Physique: Slim
Distinguishing Marks: Dark spots on the backs of his ears, hock, and the top of his tail
Clothing: Cloaks inspired by the game Journey in earth tones and neutral colors. He also carries a waist satchel that contains his companion, Mugsy, a black bear hamster. The goat's head staff he carries is for holding a lantern at night and used to knock apples from trees.

Personality
Likes: Fruits, candy, playing in the snow, the smell of sweetgrass, dogs, kids, pranking unsuspecting humans in the woods, winter, fall (the colors and apples), natural music
Dislikes: Meat, flies that bite, destructive humans, most people that generally wreck up his home, burrs

Jankin, but often called Jack by his mates, is an upbeat and spirited little faun hailing from the hills of Iceland. He is typically found gallivanting through the forest with his hamster companion playing in flowers and picking up bugs. His duty is to protect his home and also to aid humans when needed, thus at night he carries a lantern and appears as a will-o-wisp, helping travelers out of the woods or to get lost deeper in them. He's extremely playful and is often seen bounding and rolling with his mates in their giant black fuzzy dog forms.

Quirks and Tidbits:
- He is a strict vegetarian. He hates meat.
- In winter he lets his coat grow out so his legs are super shaggy, he typically keeps himself sheered.
- Apples are his favorite fruit. Ever.
- He will make and wear clover and daisy chains, and then eat them later.
- He is the forest champion of Mud Ball.

Songs:
"I See You (CD Version)" by Mika
"Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia ft. John Martin
"Angels in the Snow" by Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil
"Oraanu Pi" by E.S. Posthumus

Thank you!
Though...I'm not sure what exactly you mean, could you be more clear? :\
If you are intending to use the character himself as your own, I ask you not to. If you mean using his pose as reference I would recommend finding a stock photo on DA and using that and giving the photographer proper credit.

oh nonono, never! Mor so, your work has inspired me to use it as a reference to make my own character, using perhaps a similar pose, or slightly similar ideals, but make my own original character, and give you credit for he inspiration/pose/whatever.
