Description
alkjdghf I've spent all day on this! D: I totally forgot how long it takes to make a good reference sheet.Anyway, this be Xeno, the Larko...Nox...whatever Red XIII's species is called these days. xD Every since the Larko trend started on TLKFAA a year or so ago, I've really wanted a Larko character.
I love him to pieces already!;A; I'm kinda paranoid he looks a lot like someone else's character for some reason though.
If you haven't read my journal yet, I'll most likely only be uploading new ref sheets of my OCs for awhile.
Since early 2010, I've only finished 3 OC references...most of the chars I use today don't even have a ref, so I think it's about time I update. xD I'll be needing updated refs if I want to take art trades in the near future too, right? *hint hint*Edit:
Spotted my first mistake on here! The second sketch on the bottom has Xeno's feathers and earrings on the wrong side. I flipped the layer somehow...so it's wrong. 
Edit edit: Spotted another mistake. I somehow missed putting Xeno's muzzle marks on in his large pic. That's all fixed though. HOPEFULLY everything matches up now aside from the sketch mistake mentioned in my first edit, lol. xD

They're a fan made species based around Red XII from Final Fantasy VII. I've been planning to make a quick 'Larko guidelines' sheet since I get asked what they are a lot but you can find out more at this group here: #Larko-Universe .

awesome, thanks for the help and the link

I have a suggestion for fixing the sketch that you said is flipped. You could get the layer that it's on, make a selection around that sketch, and flip it, so that the feathers are on the right side.
I do love your style. Very clean, and I love the shading.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. ^^
I would have done that already if I wouldn't have merged the sketch's layer with the background. It's more trouble that it's worth to fix now and it's not that big of a deal. xD

Alright. Just wanted to help. ^^

That's amazing! How do you do that? And what exactly is a Larko or a Nox?

xD Thank you!
Larko's are a species based on Red XIII from Final Fantasy VII, though the name "larko" is purely fanbased. Square Enix has neer given the species a true name. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
OH-yeah..cause it is..hahaha! never mind...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xDD Yea. Xeno's species, the Larko, is based on Red XIII'S species, so they do look a bit the same. ;3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oohhh!!! hahaha! yeah, you know your species
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
What are Larko? I want to make one, but I don't know how the species works, what with the ranks and the tailflames and the male vs. female anatomy/features x_x

Someone asked me the exact same question and I wrote them a pretty lengthy note detailing all that stuff. *fumbles around notes* Lemme see if I can find it and I'll note it to you too!

Okei, thank you 8D
I've begin sketching him.. well both of them, the midget on is very twitchy and paranoid, those characters are always fun. C8

;3 Nanaki is actually Red XIII'S real name, so I doubt they'd use that name for the entire species. But thank you!

I can't remember the name ><;

Xeno's... is gonna have to get a lot of fanart. XD He's awesome... I love his design... love your idea of playing with the texture of the medium you use. Keep up the great work.

<33 Xeno would love to have fanart. xD I've made him out to be quite the attention lover anyway.
But thanks a lot, Kc.

I love him more than any other character you have. (feels bad for everyone else) He's got that Indian style I just adore. <3 I must get started on FANART OF HIM!!!! >3<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All Larkos have the Indian style about them. ;3 Probably why I like them so much too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol I may have to get one myself. As soon as I do some research.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD There's not much research to do on them, but if you have any question, I might be able to answer then. c:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tell me more about the species and I'll get started on Neo. <:3 As well may add Xeno in the picture as well. >w> since I like him that much.
