Description

my entry for *Avyris's character design contest. Had to design a significant other for Paige, her Hyena char. I actually had the original sketch done a couple months ago but never got around to coloring it until now. Not that the coloring is anything special, still working my way around PhotoshopCS4 (so many options @n@)

Sooo here's Erin~
Name: Erin Gray
Age: 22
Height: 6'1"
Species: Serval with a bit of Eurasian lynx. Looks basically like a serval, except with lynx ears and some extra fluff on her cheeks, elbows and hips. Her snout is a bit wider and more lynx-like as well.
General Info:
Very proud of her body and has no problem with showing it off (midriff is almost ALWAYS bare, and she won't wear more than a bikini top with jeans if she can get away with it) aaaaand doesn't really mind the attention it gets her. I hesitate to call her slutty but... she is. Bisexual and not very loyal, she's had a lot of relationships, none of which have lasted very long.
Other than that flaw she's pretty good-natured, laid back and somewhat lazy (because she's never had to work for anything...). Sometimes she comes off as rude simply because she's always gotten her way, she just doesn't realize what she says can be offensive.
Home life, her parents weren't around much but they gave her everything she ever wanted (because that is excellent parenting!!). She went to a nice university for awhile but dropped out because she didn't do anything besides party, and now she lives in a nice apartment (paid for by her parents of course), and does pretty much whatever she wants (party, sex, drugs, the whole shebang).
She pretty much thinks Paige is "the cutest thing ever :heart: :heart:," and that's why she dates her. She's very touchy when together but I figure Paige disappears once she has had enough. Erin isn't clingy, she's okay with not seeing Paige for awhile and not knowing where she is (or much about her in general).
I don't know if Paige actually enjoys her company or just uses her as a handy crash pad (I'd like to think Paige likes her and has a hard time admitting it...). I'm also unsure if Erin is actually loyal in Paige's absence...

more sketches: [link]

The idea with Erin is not to create Paige's "perfect soul mate" but one of those "wtf why does this even work" type relationships, because frankly I find those more interesting :P
Just because they're dating doesn't mean they are (or more accurately, appear!) perfect for each other....
Um, hopefully Avyris thinks this is okay... I had to guess whether Paige would actually allow some of the liberties Erin takes based on the information given, so obviously I had to fill in a lot of blanks...
designing significant others for other people is harder than expected :I
