He loaf.

I think ikrans would curl up a bit when sleeping, so here is my boy Pìwopxtsyìp in the midst of dozing off!

Designs for my graduation cap. I'm graduating from a master's program in May and my thesis was on Eurasian Lynx reintroduction. I included 2 variations: one with a radio collar, and one without!

The designs were definitely inspired by heraldic designs and medieval illuminations.

Hi there! I'm new and absolutely love your art of the pandora creatures! (cloaked panther and echo stalkers are my faves) My question is, are you excited for the new quests they're going to be releasing throughout the year? (I've heard we're getting new areas!)

Unfortunately I don't have any gaming systems that would support frontiers of pandora, so I haven't been able to play any of it. I've been living vicariously through you all!! If there are going to be new areas and creatures, I can't wait to see them and hear about what it's like. I absolutely love the world that the game creators have made, and I think the wildlife is so cool!

P-51 mustang dragon! I finally finished Masters of the Air and it was just stunning in so many ways. I really want to try redrawing some screencaps with dragons insead of planes.

The mustangs are also from the entral and southern United States. They live in loose social groups, and exhibit a degree of dimorphism with the males having larger and more brightly colored markings. They commonly have vibrant red heads, but several populations have red tails as well or different colored markings, including yellow.

@dreamersbane commissioned me to design three babies for a pair of ikrans i designed earlier! This was such a fun challenge, and i loved combining aspects of the parent's appearance! Scroll to see mom and dad!

Pìwopxtsyìp and his babies! I honestly wish we knew more about the physiology and behavior of pandoran creatures. In the mean time, I think that Ikrans actively defend nesting sites as a pair, taking turns to hunt and guard a clutch and offspring till they fledge. So here's my boy with the kids while Atanzaw is off hunting <3

Ok here's a more official ref of my boy!

Everybody say hello to Ey'ani te Kxewang Zeyutsle'itan! He's a nervous little over-thinker, but he's really observant and detail oriented. He absolutely loves is ikran, my darling Pìwopxtsyìp.

I'm still working on more characterization for him, but I adore him so far! Thank you to @kinatanhi for helping me with his name!

Ahh thank you thats super interesting and very helpful! I assumed i would be taking a risk with the eey at the beginning...i like both Ey'ani and Eey'ani in terms of spelling and pronunciation. I do kind of like the idea of him having a bit of an unusual name (since I do to irl!)

He does speak forest though, so it might just be easier to change it to Ey'ani. Love it either way!

Thank you for your help!!

Ok i thiiiiink his name is going to be Eey'ani? If somebody who knows more abour the Na'vi language catches a mistake pls let me know thank youuuu. He doesn't have a full name yet because honestly I find the conventions for that a little daunting but maybe later!

I love him so much. Worried lil guy i want to be best friends with you.

Leopard with some fantasy-inspired getup. I usually have trouble with feline heads in profile, but this one didn't give me much difficulty.
