Anthromorphic Raashona by @Cacopheny (Abigail Oliver)

My baby... all grown up and walking on two legs... :: sigh ::

I had this... really really random desire the other night to draw my Teknikat character, Raashona, as an anthromorph, wings an all. I've never drawn her before-- not true, I drew her once, but didn't color her-- 'cuz her stripeyness intimidated me. I didn't think I could pull it off. But I surprised myself and I did. And she looks beautiful.

Raashona has a very special place among my characters. For one, she is based on my own cat, Ramona (similar name, same coloring, sorta-similar personalities... sorta...) who died last year at... um... sixteen, I think she was. I loved that cat. I love her still. She was my baby, and she loved me unconditionally. Taking her to the vet to be put down was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Raashona, herself, has kind of grown into an extension of me. Her personality evolved from what I originally wanted for her into something much like mine, if I were in a situation like hers. When I post her on the rp, her posts tend to be longer than posts for any other char except, even multi-voiced Cacopheny. I love her for what she represents, what she has grown into, and for herself.

She's naked cuz I couldn't think of any clothes that showed off her markings well enough... and cuz i'm lazy...

Used: colored pencil and a lot of love.

Raashona is mine. Teknikats belong to Sarah.
