Hello again! :D

Sorry for the spontaneous posting. I don't have much time to draw anymore, but once summer vacation starts things will pick up. 

As for the art, I was experimenting with colors and made a new OC with a few references and shaded pieces. I think its pretty interesting, so here you go ::

The main reference !! :D I'm really happy with both the design and character, since this one has a lot more personality than I usually give all my OCs. I'm trying to wok on getting more depth into each character, so that means more extensive reference sheets (which are my favorite thing to draw). 

You can read the reference for more information, but here's some facts about Tanzanite:

> The collar is a required accessory and he wears it full time. The colors are based on watermelon. 

> Like me, he LOVES anything strawberry flavored and will do anything for lollipops and cookies

>They love water, swimming, and surfing despite being a cat

> The name Tanza/Tanzanite was recommended to me by a friend a while ago (thanks @/Acr0meda :D)

>He's a caracal x bengal hybrid and the final design took me three hours

I also made the moodboard :] The design originally started out as just a moodboard concept, and gradually evolved. I've been working on translating moodboards into actually appealing designs for any upcoming OC raffles I may do.

And some simple art just to showcase the design ^^

If anyone has any feedback on the final product I would love to hear it! I'm always looking for ways to get better at character design.
