My dear fursona got her first reference somewhere in 2010. From early Impressive Title game days, my written stories and role-plays, she evolved into this big cuddly fluff you see now. ^^

Her color design, as usual, didn't change at all, the only thing that I was working on was the semirealistic approach to her anatomy, and also finding a way to help other artists with this new description.

A large part of her identity is both magical and physical strength, so her figure is more muscular and massive, despite being quite slim.

I have this 2022 ref: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49404940/
And also this 2024 ref: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56499031/
These are both references that I really like, but somehow I just wanted to merge it together into one style that would fit Khalia the best.

So here we are, at 2025 reference version, and finally I can admit I am satisfied with the result.

Now I am thinking about expanding this reference later on, including also my not-so-well-explored-yet "leopard spots version", example here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54570050/
Or also an anthropomorphic version that I sometimes use for YCHs from different artists, included this "khajiit" alternation that I love more and more: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54245839/

Overall, Khalia has some interesting journey behind her and I can't wait to explore her more as the years goes by. ♥
