A quick reference sheet I put together for my Welsh springer character.

Leilia's personality is pretty much just me. ;) Kinda shy, awkward, not too good in social situations. She loves playing video games and watching sci fi shows. She has an extreme sweet tooth, and loves all things sugary and sweet, with a particular obsession with cotton candy.

The fur color is pretty off in this reference, it is more of a rich reddish-brown. More images of Leilia can be seen here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Leilia_Kimozoku/library/Leilia%20the%20Welshie

This character originated when I went I was convinced to go to Megaplex with some friends in 2011. I was not familiar with the furry fandom at all, and was just there to sell my little animal and Pokemon sculptures. However, I was intrigued by how everyone there had a character that basically represented them, and was a little jealous that I didn't have my own. So In doodled up a quick spaniel character, which was heavily based off of my own Welsh springer spaniel. I added some bows to her ears because I always remembered my English springer spaniel growing up visiting the groomers and coming back with the cutest ear bows. She has changed very little since I created her, the main difference is the addition of a full tail. Since she was originally based off of my own dog, I initially imagined her with a docked tail. However, quite a few artists have chosen to depict her with a long tail, and it has grown on me quite a bit.
