Quick LK-style-ish sketch, of one of my friend's charries.

The reason the timer is so high is because my friend made this up as she went along. She told me what to do through Messanger, and she was indecisive. Take off, like, 20 minutes of her going, "Uhhhhh.... IDK!?!?", and me answering, "DECIDEEEE!!!"

While I have nothing against your picture- which is very nice and interestingly accurate to the LK style, which I commend you on,

I'd issue you a caveat against making snarky comments to description readers.

Lions do not have red eyes.

Ever, really. Image

Albinism presents itself differently species to species, and white lions (thusly recorded) tend not to have red or pink eyes. This is probably because true albinism means quick, horrible death in the Savannah, and the genes responsible for it are never passed on. Albinos are so weak to the sun that exposure for even a few days can cause them to die, or will render them blinded or in serious pain. It's also a huge hunting issue... and white lions are fairly undesirable mates, since darker coats in both male and females signal health and strength.

The 'Sigfriend and Roy' white lions that people tend to focus on and which occasionally crop up in the wild are blond.

So, while I have nothing against your picture or your friend's character- and think both are lovely-

I will ask that you please not snark in your description.

I apologize -I didn't mean to come off as snarky or rude. D: Truthfully, those words were requested by a friend, who anticipated skepticism. I'm not trying to shove the blame on her, though -I accept full responsibility for my words.

I'm not usually rude; the opposite, in fact. It is harder to get your point across through the internet, we have no facial expressions, or tone inflictions to aid us. That's why I usually try to be extra-polite in the virtual world. xD
I appreciate the information, and I'll pass the fact about the red/pink eyes along to my friend. Really. I understand your dislike of snarkiness -who does like it?- and I'll be sure to fix that rudeness up.

I'm glad you like the picture, and -again- I apologize for my snarkiness. D:
But, actions speak volumes over words, so I'm going to go edit that first post. C:
