Description & comments would be nice too please!

Ohmy.. The computer and Photoshop ganged up against me every time I opened his file XP - it's size is 241 MB on the psd file alone! All the layers I put into it (not including the separate pages I scanned in and worked on before compiling it all).

Javu has been my catch-all for my advancement in learning the pen tool... His full view was hand-sketched with a brush tool, with some straight-line one-stroke-at-a-time pen tool work. Then his wing views were with rapid-fire-click-carefully-in-a-way-it-looks-smooth penning. and then the lower images were finally with the single-line-warping-the-anchor-points-along-the-base-line technique (which I have to say was so much easier when it came to the anthro appearance XP XD)

A good deal about his species is mentioned in his ref, but eventually I'll have a species ref for all my characters.

Another note about Ruukas- Only the high-born have two elements to control, all the normal ones are of one element.

Status on the D'renai-Daviens - I've scanned in 5+ pages of sketches and begun the process of penning after they sat on my comp for over 2 months XD. Already I have another D'renai char pestering me because a laughing gull's wing-nick inspired me during work yesterday (I've been watching him all day, as he kept flying around where I saw the large V-gap in one of his wings along the primaries).

Art, Javu and his species is (c) me

ANY character of mine belong to me and are OFF LIMITS IN ALL FORMS THEY TAKE!

JUST VIEW, COMMENT, FAVE, and be on to the rest of your lovely day.

Wow, just the whole theme of this creature screams 'BEACHBEACH OMFG SAND AND SALT WATER'.
xD

I love the detailed feathers, you've always been good at that. c: Those stripes remind me of those beachy-themed stuffed animals you see at tourist shops.
The anthro form looks pretty awesome too.~ <3

Oh, I have also been wondering and getting ideas for him for are rp.
But getting me a lot of thinking of Egypt though the way how his appearance is. X3 But can say of a more mix Egyptian and Hawaiian of the beautiful markings.
