ahhh, i finally finished this. this is acantha, a kristalandja i started designing for my mom for (i think?) her birthday. but she's kind of ridiculously detailed, so it took me a lot of time off and on to finish her. i'm happy with the end result, though :3 the previous submission is a picture of acantha when she was young.

anyways, here's some info about her:

name: acantha penelope
gender: female
height: 6'3"
build: slender
eyes/feathers: dark rose
hair: chestnut to black
fur: striped sandy main, chestnut to black secondary, accents of white, dark rose, emerald, spring green, lavender, rose, tangerine and buttercup
crystals: roses and leaves, rings have thorns; colors are dark rose, emerald and spring green
affinity: plants with thorns
personality: acantha is very sweet, and tries to be friendly even though people tend to avoid her.
extra info: acantha spends much of her time tending to the bramble barrier around her colony's homes. she tends to wear short, close fitting clothes to avoid getting them caught in thorns, even though it's deemed unfashionable. she's blind in her left eye due to the 'accident' that caused her to find her affinity. acantha is a carnivore (omnivore), though she cares less about meat than most carnivorous kristalandja do. even though her crystals are more green, her primary color is dark rose. her favorite color is sky blue.
