Artist's Comments

<edit> =siriuslylostwerewolf brought to my attention that the previous color of Yoro's black markings was much too brown/light in color, so I changed that. Thanks NutMeg for pointing that out!</edit>


Finally! After almost two years, I finally made a ref sheet for my baby, Yorokobi.

Here is his information:

Name: Yorokobi (yoh-row-koh-bee) ~ Japanese for "joy"
Species: Snow leopard/kestrel gryphon, but with an abnormality ~ his muzzle - the top is the kestrel's beak, the bottom is the leopard's jaw. This abnormality causes Yoro's canine teeth to poke out on either side of the beak, giving him his signature, smiling look.
Characteristics: an all-around goof-ball who loves nothing more than making some good, clean mischief. Loves to tease Seiyaku, despite his smaller size.
Favorite Food: sweets of most kinds, but his absolute favorite food is strawberries

Yorokobi has an honest and sweet heart, but beware his playful and mischievous side!
-----------------------------

Y'all may have noticed I made a minor change to Yoro's design - his beak is now yellow instead of that pale gray. I thought it drew more attention to his face and made him seem more cheery.

Also, Yoro's back paw pads are light pink (forgot to put that in the ref sheet).

As always, feel free to draw my characters, just let me know if you do, as I'd love to see your drawings! ^^

Oh. xD I was asking if I could have a Yorokobi...even though he's probably a character, rather than a species or anything. xD

I was being silly. ;P Not asking for a drawing, but a real one. xDD Don't worry. ;P He's awesome. :3

No worries. xD

I am not a duck! I'm a fox!!!
:iconsiriuslylostwerewolf:
I love the bits of reddish-brown accents on his fur and feathers. Also, ya gotta love that thick snow leopard tail. He's really cute. :iconiloveitplz:

One question though, Why did you color the first five feathers a dark brown if you say they are black?
