Asheli, Master of Prestidigitaition.

Technically prestidigitation is not true magic but more sleight of hand and tricking the audience but w/e.

I'm getting a design from xdemyx so i decided to create him a friend.

And thus Asheli was born, he's a red panda/german shepard hybrid. In the land he comes from Red Pandas are avid magic users. His father was one of the most powerful magic users and so that trait was passed down to his son. Magic is created within the body from the formation of two chemicals, using magic creates a toxic by-product much like oxygen is converted into carbon dioxide. Full blooded red pandas have an enzyme that combat this toxicity but since Ashli is only half he lacks this enzyme so he takes medication to replace it. However the medication leaves him heat and light sensitive and impedes his sense of smell, to cope he grows his hair long in the front to shield his eyes which also hinders his eyesight but it beats dying from magic toxicity.

As for the actual picture itself i tried a new coloring style since i was beginning to hate the old one, this was a 12 hour project but i think it was well worth it.

TL;DR version

I made a new character and discovered a new coloring style

Pose was referenced from a stock image on DA

also, i may be doing a tutorial soon if anyone's interested
