This was done by the wonderful about 7 months ago.

This is completely different than how Xiā is intended to be depicted after her finalized design sometime after this sketch was made. Back then, she was still somewhat slender and still had the markings on her forearms and ankles on both sides at that time. Since then, she has been slightly refined and made more full-figured to better suit her character and personality. Her design was originated from the equally wondrous shana. I'm grateful to her for such a beautiful panda girl to be included among my other characters. Also for magenta in helping to define her fully realized form.

Anyway, this is not an accurate depiction of Xiā, but I was in a panda mood and felt like sharing this with everyone who may not have seen it in magenta's scraps. The only reason this is not accurate is due to the minor alterations mentioned above. This may find its way to scraps, but I love this drawing so much that it may very well remain here in my main gallery.
