Request/Gift: Kigai

Description

A request, long been awaited for my friend from school :iconmichiru-usagi:
I finally got it done, and even then, the coloring turned out horrible, so I decided to focus in the main body.

When Michiru and I first met, we decided to show off our unique OC's. She saw my Aztec and fell in love with him. Over time she would ask me, again and again, to let me allow her, to own her own version as a companion for one of her characters. At I was a bit hesitant, but I knew her well enough that if I made one just for her, that he will go to a good home. After many months of discussion, and planing, here is the end result.


Backstory: Aztec Gryfins, (or Leajaro "pronounced as Le-aha-rro 'mixing the Spanish words for lion and bird') Are normally very social creatures and  would remain within the same pack for almost for the entirety of their lives. But this unfortunate soul was abandoned, at a young age and was left to fend for himself. If there was anything the Aztec Gryfins are known for, is their undying devotion, loyalty and trust.... but sever those bonds, and they will forever be scarred for life. 

Kigai, as he would later on be named, is a sub-species of Aztec Gryfin that resides higher up in snowy mountain caps. (Hens the heavier fur coat) Kigai, was also born with a few abnormalities, such as a second dual claw, a limp foot, being two times smaller than the average Gryfin, and lighter colors, which for Kigai makes him unlovable. Just like peahens, and lionesses, they tend to prefer males with darker manes, and bright and colorful plumage. 
Since he was abondedned, he now has some serious trust issues, and for a Gryfin, they are not so easily repaired, but Kigai is still one year old, so there may not be too late......


This character as of right now belongs to :iconmichiru-usagi:, and only she has permission to use him. I'm going to be strict about this... so much so I added a special watermark of my own, just as a precaution. Take good care of Kigai for me, Michi. :D


Aztec Gryfins belong to me :icondreamwithintheheart:

Sorry for the -physical- late thanks! I'll take good care of him! I'll see if I can start drawing I'm with Yukitora, and try to figure out how their chemistries match. I think I'll have to consult with you every now and then to make sure I got things right. Lastly, how tall is he? Right now in my mind he's half the size of Yuki (she's about 5'6 or so), but thats probably wrong which is why I'm asking
