(c) Kooskia (character and design) (c) cespuglia2008 (art) (c) Alan Dean Foster (inspired original species)
Another sketch-commission i got from Eurofurence x3 cespuglia2008 is an italian artist i already met and talked before, sharing a number of common interests especially in books and animals in animation etc. She is also a very good and creative artist and while checking her sketchbook at the con i had inspiration to ask this art x3
The character here is "Talk-Through-Distance", an original character i created for a (so far unfinished) italian fanfiction i wrote, related to the science-fiction book "Quozl" wrote by Alan Dean Foster (known for writing Star Trek books etc..). I shuld stress i originally read the book without having seen the cover-art before and my vision and interpretation of the rabbit-like alien species protagonist of the book is very different from the almost puppet-like drawings made into the cover book (I should say, the cover also feature some anatomically-speaking absurd element like huge humanoid feets, while all in text imply rather more realistic digitigrade feature).
Just i realize that for the purpose of confusion i could at this point rebrand the species as some original-ones (albeit inspired xD). After all i only plan to (eventually) finish that fan-fiction and maybe get few extra arts ^^
