Artist's Comments

This is the lineart to a new character i have been working on. I have decided to start designing characters around rare animals or rare color variations to animals. This guy is based off of the King Cheetah. The king cheetah is a beautiful animal, this is what they look like: [link]

His name is Keng, which is pronounced like fang but with a K. He weilds a jumbiya which is a dagger of middle eastern descent, cheetahs were once common in the middle east until hunted out of the area. I will have more info on this character once he is finished.

I have already invited several friends to create their own character inspired by a rare animal or color variation. The only rules are that they must still be human, and their weapon/weapons have to make sense with the animal in mind. I chose a dagger because of its speed and elegance like that of a cheetah. It would be awesome to see more people start up designing their rare animal characters. So feel free :)

Awesome! amazing design! his face looks quite elegant but you can tell he's deadly *.*

i actually kinda had an idea like this, reading 'the life of mammals' by david attenbourough
Some of the mammals are so cool, so i was gonna make characters as those animals, but I may make them human now, so thanks! :boogie:

Yeah i really tried to get the look of a king cheetah without relying too much on spots or like a fur pelt. It took forever to get a weapon idea though XD. I would love to see what you can come up with, link me if you do one. I might make a journal with thumbnails of everyones characters.

Yeah the pants make the character, i had a lot of fun designing them. I wanted a pretty unique design, something i hadnt really ever seen before. Also thats not a scarf, its a hood with a front cape thing, i thought it looked really unique. Youll get a better view of it in future pictures :)

well, you did succeed, i think at least ;)
The eye lines and spots on the shoulder do just top it off however ;)

Ok, it'll be a while coming though ;)
You should do a Great Panda, they're rare are they not?
But, perhaps, that is not original enough (:

In a list I found that there is only one alive Pinta Island Tortoise... that is rather sad ):

Btw, Ike is pretty good in SSBB :D
