She’s a griffon! Design-wise, she’s inspired by snowy owls, barn owls, and snow leopards; I’m still trying to work out her markings.

Actually, when I first came up with her around 5 years ago, I was unsatisfied with the way I was drawing her because it wasn’t reflecting the way I pictured her and her personality in my head. The fact that I feel like I can pretty much do that now feels like a small measure of my growth as an artist, so I’m very proud of that.
