I have no idea why, but at first glance I said "Tony the tiger!!" but... err.. its obviously not that! really cool creation though, Its like somthing you'd battle with in final Fantasy.
Woo I would love fighting these in Final Fantasy if they existed! Hehe I always loved fighting the other feline creatures in those games like Coeurls and Toramas and that sort of thing :3 If I had any knowledge int he 3D department of arts I think it would be fun to actually make a 3d sprite of this... all I'm limited to now is making maybe a cheesy 2d sprite for like an RPG Maker game XD Heheh I suck at pixel art though.
