Description

Edit: Well this guy didn't win so I'm gonna keep him as my oc~






This is my entry for KitsuneRAWR 's character/oc creation contest!
Contest: kitsunerawr.deviantart.com/jou…

It's a civet and yes that's a real animal and and no it's not extinct~^_<
I find them very cool/cute, they have kind of a prehistoric mammal look to them:3

Of course they don't quite have such markings lol, you can certainly find similar markings with stripes and spots but I went a bit overboard with the combos that I kinda clashed from different types of markings they can be seen with!

I also included some info about this guy since its for an oc making contest so why not throw in some details to the design!?

Anyway—wow haha it's been a while since I've drawn in a more realistic type style for animals! I used to do it more often(usually no colour though), when I was younger but then I got into anime and that added a whole new category of stuff I drew, I really only used to draw dogs with the occasional other animals lol, well in a way this was kind of refreshing, plus I got to use my wonderful prismacolors~

But for an animal I haven't really drawn before I certainly used many various refs and such, so this more "realistic" approach was actually easier than a more simplistic or stylized/doodle one;)

After doing the full body side view one, I felt it wasn't enough hence I added that front view drawing above! Hooray~~XD
