Okay, so I wrote this story where Ian and Jared had somehow survived an apocalyptic disaster (uber-toxic rain) and were scuttling around dead Seattle, dodging the undead and fighting for survival.
This is my character design for survivor Ian. As you can see, half of his beautiful tail is cut off, due to a bad zombie bite. The patches on his arms are supposed to be areas where the toxic rain scalded him.
He's a bit... paranoid.

(Yeah, I know this is like the exact same pose as that bat picture, whatever.)
