AWW YISS, MORE LAYHR~ So! Everybody following me here is probably decently familiar with my Spotlighters; well, Layhr were my pet-project years before they came to the front. C8 I used to have an adoptable shop back in 2004 with them, and they've just been my babies ever since. (Shh, I don't care if 'genetically engineered dogbeasts in a lab-setting' is cliche shhhh)
Anyway, what generally winds up happening is I get an idea for a color or feature, and... try it out on a layhr first. I had the theme 'brown/pink mohawk', 'punk' and 'raptor claws' stuck in my head for a few days, and this guy wound up being the result!
...I really, really like how he turned out, actually. It's kind of tempting to design a shapeshifter character around him. 8D
