Description

Alright, time for something a little different. I had an idea for a new story, and this is one of the characters. He is of an alien species that is as of yet unnamed, and his design may change slightly over time. These creatures communicate primarily by scent, and secondarily through bioluminescence. They have no sense of hearing and no vocal cords, making cross-species communication rather difficult. As his name is expressed through scent and cannot be translated to a spoken language, he has been nicknamed by his companions. They call him "Smiles." For the reason for that, you'll have to wait for the story or art or whatever medium I decide to convey this story in. Interpretive dance. Painted in hieroglyphics in a tomb. I don't know. Or you could just ask me why, I guess.

Silliness aside, I'm rather pleased with this painting! The color's a bit off (his fur is supposed to be black. . . I haven't yet figured out how to make a good black that isn't too dark) but the made-up alien anatomy is good and the fur came out decent-ish. I still don't know how to draw clothing well. But I'm improving, and that's what matters!
