Shadow- Khajiit

Alright, last of the upload onslaught for tonight. And the first thing I've drawn in 2012. This is my primary Skyrim character, a Khajiit based on Shadowfire. I find it interesting: Shadowfire was indirectly inspired by a cat (it went like this: cat -> ferret/weasel -> wolf -> invented
kind of wolf-thing), and now it's come back to a cat character based on him. Who is also a master archer, or I'm working on that anyway. I just named him Shadow because calling him Shadowfire felt weird for some reason. But he does use a lot of fire magic to compensate for his shortened name. = D Also the flame breath shout. I love the flame breath shout. Took a while to find the right sort of hooded robe thing for the look I wanted, and it's still not dark green, but he's a pretty good approximation of Shadowfire if he were a Khajiit. Black and gray fur, orange eyes, very narrow build (I like that you can customize the build of your characters in Skyrim) even a scar near one eye. Plus he gets to do a lot of traveling through the wilds, which is also something Shadowfire did and does a lot of. I've completed the main quest and the College of Winterhold questline with him, and now working on the Companions, though that one feels a little less suited to a stealthy archer/mage type like Shadow here xD

What I wonder is what happens to his ears when he wears that hood. They appear to flatten entirely.
