I’ve been building on this little AU for a bit now where Keith was born with more Galran features, and eventually ends up leaving Earth during early childhood with Krolia to grow up in the Blade. The show definitely didn’t take advantage of Keith’s heritage so I love seeing all of the fics and art embracing and exploring what this could have looked like

I have sooo many ideas lore wise and ofc how this would change the cannon, but unfortunately I’m not much of a writer (tragic). I definitely plan to post more sketches for my take on the AU though, and dive into the details as they come up

im also considering some spotting/ stripes fading into blotches into spots, maybe some eyespots on the backs of his ears like tigers ->

and of course for ears in general i went with servals and caracals

the longer hair along his back then is brown hyena inspired

and wrt proportions i was thinking of taking inspo from maned wolves bc i want him to be able to run quadrepedally as well
