THIS IS 's BIRPHDAY PRESANT. At least, the linart bit that I already gave her >.>

His name is Xiff. He's a bat/lion/dragon thing of some sort. He has the disposition of a puppy and fits in the palm of your hand -^ ^-

Um... well, I was going to design a male griffin for Zing-chan, but my skills failed. As usual. I kept messing with the original sketch out of sheer vexation, and it magically transformed into something cool. The only griffin-like thing that remained was the hind paws. He lost his front paws, 'cause I couldn't draw the dragon claws I wanted. Then I decided to give him bat forelimbs. Bats don't have normal front limbs, because they've adapted into wings. My mind was overtaken with the image of a bat crawling. Have you ever seen that? Normally they're shown hanging from the ceiling, but there is nothing cuter than a bat crawling around on its wings =^ ^= That though gave birth to this.

Phew, that was long. This will likely go into scraps once I put up the colored version.
