Wow. :3
I just had the worst day at work, and this was so great to come home to... thanks everyone so much. I'm so excited!

I've decided to put Tiku up, my personal character, cause... well... I don't have another one and I love to see everyone's interpretation of her.

Tiku is more affectionately known as the lime hybrid. She is, by definition, a hybrid of a smilodon and a wolf, however her characteristics in body size and movement is based on a Siberian tiger. She can be drawn either as a normal animal, or a furre.

Appearance:
Animal: She’s got the body of a normal tiger, but her hind quarters is rounded down much like a German Shepard and extends down into her tail. Her body is five feet long, the tail is about four. She has du-claws on her front paws, but extend all the way down almost like a thumb when she walks. Her head is much like a normal tiger, but with large tusks and her large ears are roughly the length of her head. As an animal, her eyes have no pupils and are bright blue. The only accessory she has is a collar (which can be any color) and a silver colored bone tag with her name on it.

Furre: As a furre, she’s about five and a half feet tall and her tail is long enough to drag about a foot on the ground. She typically wears baggy raver pants of any color, or flared jeans. You’ll never, ever find this one in a dress. As for a top, she always wears a tank-top due to the fur. She’s also an accessory hog, wearing her collar and tag, a pair of goggles with brown leather straps. Her large ears are covered with silver rings, but two she always wears are little hanging star pendants from the tips of the tufts. She hates shoes, too – and will only wear sandals if forced. She can be drawn with dark grey / black wings which are way too small for flight. She’s afraid of falling anyway. Her eyes have pupils too, as a furre.

Personality: Quirky. She’s a total oddball, and phases between the playful personality of a wolf with the dominance of an alpha, or the absolute solitude and seclusion of a tiger. She can be quiet and loud, but rarely in between. She loves music and dancing/singing as loud as she can, drawing and chasing cats. Tiku can play the shakuhachi and the guitar, too. She’s also a huge fan of any kind of weaponry, but primarily medieval.

- Old reference sheet
- Good animal ref
- Another good animal ref
- Furre ref
- Another furre ref


If you’re insanely ambitious or are lacking ideas, Tiku also has a guardian. She’s a ghost tiger, (white with no stripes at all, bright white eyes) who only appears when Tiku’s at her worst, be it angry or depressed. She’s always drawn as a shadowed figure.

- Only pic of her guardian.

Also, my friend Ebrel has a character named Jordan whom I’d LOVE if people would draw. He’s a human with a wolf head and tail. Tiku recently moved into his bed and breakfast type in and absolutely loves annoying him. (She’s secretly crushing on him really hard.)

- Jordan by me
- Tiku – Jordan
- Jordan ref sheet by Ebrel
- Jordan the slayer
- Best ref of how Tiku and Jordan's relationship really works. (:

More than anything, please have fun with her! Her markings can be put on any animal you’d like, or with any character you’d like! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask either.

I apologize because all the links are deviantART... my server crashed months ago and I never got it back up.

Thanks to everyone again - this is such an honor. ^^ I can't wait to see what comes up!

I really-really-really-really wanna get a fursuit done of this character. I don't have the skills, so I've been looking around for someone who can do it... but I'm DYING to go to Anthrocon but I won't go without a fursuit.

*coughs idly into her paw* If I had more cash at the moment, I was going to make the tail for FAX, as there's some nice shaggy neonlime green at the local store, and black, and this delish shaggy white.

rosequoll@gmail.com - I can either make a fursuit, or help you find someone that can for you. I do fursuit commissions more than art lately *chuckles*
