Banded Linsang (Prionodon linsang), family Prionodontidae, Thailand

Once thought to be in the Viverridae, with genets and civets, the 2 species of Asian Linsangs were placed in their own family in 2004, based on genetic data.

They are actually more closely related to the family Felidae.

Paprika has a jar for her secret treasures

(and her secret treasures are pinecones)

My god, it's been so long since I drew Fewjar as animals....

For context: I drew this band I liked as animals back in the day and they even saw it and liked it (weird haha) and the characters kinda developed over the years and now it's been a while and I gave them a redesign to match my current Atrea species system :)

They looked like this back then (Few is now Fenn, Jar is now Jarek, Mogi is still Mogi):

These guys are still just an excuse to draw real people as animals but I'm trying to give them a bit of plot!!

The lore is: Alavari (bird species) massively dominate the music industry in Atrea and as a non-Alavar you basically have no chance of ever making a career in music. There were some one-hit-wonders by non-Alavari over time but it's like fighting windmills.

Fenn is the protagonist here, trying to make his childhood dream come true to actually make a music career. Him and Jarek are childhood friends and in there together, sharing the dream but Fenn is the more ambitious of the two. Mogi joined later, not sure how to connect him to the others yet but it'll come to me sometime.

I'm not sure if I've done any linsangs before, sure! I'll do banded linsangs!
