Sonjida

"Cat" was the original title from gavi-gavi (she drew it for me) but this race actually has feline and simian characteristics.
This is my character Sonjida (his name means Bird Song or Victory Anthem in his language). He's from a story of mine that I will have for refs for more characters soon hopefully. He's not exactly what I was thinking, but this is still damn good <3
He's very jolly and sensitive, and always tries to keep/make peace (especially between Adhari and Zariah, the twins hehehe). He is the first mate on a pirate gang air-ship called "The Flaming Sword." This isn't exactly what I was thinking of for him, but I'll have another pic soon c: 
He's so lovely here! Especially his face, which reminds me of Legolas in the Hobbit lol

~ALSO TAKE NOTICE OF THIS EPICNESS!!!!!!! My friend NanaRamos started a little art movement called "Black Beauty." It is an annual celebration of African, Black, and Afro-centric people and art. I am so honored to be a part of something that shifts our focus from the whitewashed majority or our media! Here are some journals if you are interested. It's really simple and very open, mixed race characters and even non-human characters are allowed! Look here for all the info: nanaramos.deviantart.com/journ… and nanaramos.deviantart.com/journ… and of course, if you have any further questions, :devnanaramos will be happy to answer them c: ~ this is the end of my public service announcement lool
