Description My first creature exchange design for... Erradox !

1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?
All of it, honestly! <3
The instructions were specific and provided enough detail, while also remaining lenient and open to many ideas
As for improvement..? I don't believe I saw anything that needed changing
I understood all that was presented

2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?
to list what specific notes i followed...:
"I think a cool-toned dark gray would be an excellent primary color. Feel free to use "unnatural" colors and markings in there, as this is a fantasy setting!"
grey is the main color in this creature's palette, and i believe the colors flow well, despite that electric blue being an unnatural color!
I also took heavy inspiration from the "prehistoric megafauna" suggestion Erradox provided, as well as giving this creature a mane of sorts like a lion's.
Part of me imagined that the electric blue markings might faintly glow in the dark, but of course, that doesn't have to be used <33
I also didn't mind designing the mount's halter and such; the construction is simple leather and wicker features, nothing fancy

BUT AH. YEAH
I hope this design fits what you were looking for!! ;v;
They were so fun to design too omg
Expect more creature exchange pieces from me B))

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THIS everything about it is just PERFECT!! 
The colors are so good, the markings are excellent, the creature!!! Is precious!! I'm so glad you thought the prompt was easy to follow, I had no idea how designing something for an existing character would pan out, but you did SUCH A GOOD JOB!!! AAAAAAAAAAA

And the wicker is so perfect and I wouldn't have even thought of that ;o; thank you so much for that!!! 
And I absolutely adore paws + hooves and it really makes it feel like a fantasy creature 
And that tail shape!! Just so cute and fitting!! Also rEALLY GOOD ANTLER SHAPES 
I just keep going back to gaze at this in amazement, and I think markings that glow in the dark are somehow perfect for the world this takes place in. 

I love this so much and I am very, very happy with how this turned out, it fits everything I could ever hope for ;v; thank you!!

I figured if the mount wasn't just right for Florian I could always give it to another character; mounts are super useful and easy to place! But I think it's just perfect for what I asked for <33
