Introducing my newest character 'Frugo'!

I was inspired by this guy at around 2am one morning when I just had to doodle down ideas for his design and wouldn't let me sleep. His artwork has been in progress for over a month now, and finally this week I coloured it, and today compiled it into a crude reference sheet.

Frugo is a Chimera, a lizardy warm-blooded reptillian chimera with chameleon, gecko, and monitor lizard elements. The 'Matrix' part of being a chimera refers to his white markings changing/morphing according to his mood, and he does have limited control over this.
He is generally laid-back; he begins out a little shy, but can get quite flirty. He speaks slow and low, and comes across as a bit of a stoner.
He wears brightly coloured (very little) clothing and jewellery, rather 60's/70's/80's in styles. He likes trees - lives in a treehouse and is a good climber despite his 'chunky' appearance. He likes to make fermented fruit drinks (and to consume them).
Frugo rarely gets angry, bored, anxious, or upset. His soft hollow dorsal spines can be raised and flattened at will and in intense emotions. Same with his throat pouch; fully inflated = angry, to flattened against throat = nervous/fearful.

I've got a bunch of other info about him, as well as other little refs I might draw.
There is also a 'mature' nsfw version of this in my other gallery: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18649964/

I hope to do a lot more with this guy, other art and such.
