And another Artslam! This time of Alexander Tavin (Alex) and his only shift form. :> I'm fairly certain it's what's known as a 'shifter-specific' species, meaning that it does not occur in nature and instead is only present as a shared shapeshift form; this particular one stems from a small/regional group of shifters that were historically known as temple guardians, and Alex himself happens to live by some pretty cool (and massive) old 'ruins' of such.

This is the first time I've been able to get down colors for his form that I'm fairly happy with! I've had a general idea for ages (green, white scales, multi-color feather plumes) but those feathers have stumped me for the longest time. 8| Still not sure if this is 100% spot on, but it's definitely close!
