Finally he's finished...these are not the best photos but you get the idea.
Wihnkaan: Semi nomadic tribal species found in hot desert regions and some grasslands.Generally peaceful and freindly, they can be fierce and deadly when challenged. They have a rich culture with many customs, individuals that have encountered or studied this species has found them as a whole, to be pleasant and accepting of outsiders.
All of his textile markings are symbolic especially the one on his shoulder, it documents his entire life...where he was born, his lineage, his status as a warrior. This guy is young but has taken down some very fierce predators in his lifetime, as indicated by the orange stripes on his horns. To the Wihnkaan, bright blue is a symbolic color of protection and blessing which is why they paint thier white horns and claws blue...the head is blessed as well as whatever they touch (finger claws) and where ever they walk (toes).This individual has also adorned his forearms in blue which indicates he is preparing for a hunt.
- The red spots are an unusual mark for a desert dwelling species.They are leftover from forest dwelling ancestors...the reason why they were never lost is because the spots have long been a mark of beauty among the Wihnkaan so this desirable trait was retained.During ceremonies or celebration the spots are enhanced with pigments. Also before battle rituals the black lips are painted and enlarged to enhance the threat snarl display...the black framing the white long canine teeth is very intimidating to not only other Wihnkaan but to most that observe this gesture.
Been watching this from the beginning, you are amazing. I am inspired to do some sculpting, but no extra money or space to do it in. Approx. how big is the base he is on? Fantastic job, many praises. Good work. Keep creating, you are inspiring us all. Thanks.

He also seems like he's from a very neat culture. ^_^
I like the background you put up, too; reading about why things are coloured/worn/done as they are is interesting n.n
