8/10 It reminds me of a character from an old Norse fairy tail, or something like a creature from Hansel and Gretel and those kinds of stories. I must admit it's mildly disconcerting, but in a very creative and unique way. It's pretty cool. ^^ I would suggest changing the placement of the compass (maybe make it an item?) because it looks slightly out of place. Otherwise though this is a super unique character and I really like it, even though it's not something I would own. :3
Also it gives off an "Over the Garden Wall" vibe which I realized I really love. .u.

This is an unnamed Nouloux male, the first of an original species I'm planning on turning into adoptables. If you don't want to read the species info please just rate the design. <3
Nouloux are the time-capsules of Lunaryk, a mere echo of what the world once was. They are the only known survivors of the prehistoric era; large, raptor-like creatures with a full coat of feathers to keep warm in their colder, mountainous climate. Omnivorous, nocturnal and bear-like in behavior, they spend most of their time hidden in the great caves within the mountains. The females, during nesting season, go even deeper into the darkness to rear their young. The young are born white; a blank canvas from which they paint their story. Every few years these creatures go out into the forest to molt (they look hideous while doing so), and with every molt they gain their markings and colors until reaching full maturity. The events of their life and the characteristics that make them unique become etched in their plumage; one learned in Nouloux culture can easily tell the sort of character they are just by looking at the colors and patterns that have formed over decades.
Their bioluminescent crown feathers are present in both male and female, to help them attract insects while in the caves (among other uses). The iridescent wings and glowing saddle feathers are only present in the males, naturally for courtship. These creatures are weary and shy towards the outside world, but within their tight-knit family groups they are intelligent, gentle, showy puff-balls. If an outsider manages to befriend a Nouloux they are stuck with a very affectionate, friendly little (well, sort of big) mythical dinosaur. <3
All by me.
Please don't steal. ;u;
