A long time ago I had a dream where I found myself in a white world full of snow. It was far too cold for me, so I looked at myself in a mirror near a ruin and started changing my appearance. I got white fur with a brown collar and spots, black skin and calluses under my hands and feets. I was now an animal of the winter, and I could ski downhill on my feets.
These beasts are now added to my world. They are bipedal, but sometimes walk on four legs to sneak up on prey. Their sensitive whiskers warn them about thin ice, avalanches or to locate other of its species. The snowy world where these beats live is filled with strange mountains made of ice and ancient ruins which they like to slide down and do tricks in the air, just like snowboarding. The tail is to keep balance when they slide, and is rarely used to communicate with. They have a higly advanced language of purring and growling sounds. They don't have the ability to roar because it may cause an avalanches, and their main food is small animals that hide in the snow.
What an awesome dream to
Beautiful painting too; I really like the icy background and the creature's face. It reminds me a bit of Momo from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It was an awesome dream, yes,
Yes, black face and white fur, you're right, it looks a bit like him.
