Description

this is gonna sound so crazy but I always feel kind of bad when I create a character like this because I really don't like giving it a human-like personality or intelligence.

So I give it this whole profile instead. And have so much fun doing it.

Quick run-down; Desert dwelling, mammalian predator/scavenger, thieving and insatiably curious. Overall, canine-like intelligence. Markings and colors are typical of his species- the fur colors are variable with that color range, but black and white are rare. Fast runner- strange, uneven gait due to longer front limbs. Skin is tough, callously, hence the scaly appearance. A lack of incredible jaw strength or super sharp teeth is made up by strong, dexterous digits and claws. A few physical quirks, such as a primitive ocellus on top of head to capture extra light when hunting at night (nocturnal animal) to make up for it's poor eyesight, colorless and comparable to a human's. Also, females of his species lay soft-shelled, leathery eggs in a montreme-like fashion. Solitary animal, he remains hidden in burrows during the day.

Yaaay.
Oh yeah.
I named him Koko. fdgdgd

He's cute, and I like that you found a balance between a simple design and a careful use of detail.
