For my second entry! To =PearlEden and =kankakanka's contest. A different approach on the subject ;} More stylized and colorful than the last. Despite the fact that it has no background detail I did put alot of effort into all that damn Sylphoid fur. they are a BITCH to color!

My inspiration for this one was adapting a sylphoid to be a chinese dragon-like flyer. Clouds streaming from its paws and sweeping back over its lengthy body.
I must say Air is a very tough to define in color, sure theres blues but blues is chiefly water's color too. So I decided to base its design on sky, air, light and things that are involved in the intangible environment of air. The sylphoids main body color is reminiscent of sunset, its mane of the blue fine sky. Its ears are feathered like miniature wings. Those are also lighted orbs hovering around her neck and tail.
Im really happy with this ones design ^^ I may keep it on as an OC.

Hope you all like it! Critique me freely as always. The lineart was done IRL and scanned. Coloured in OC3.03plus
