---------------------

Hmm. Still not totally happy with the colors. Ah well.

I've been working on this little guy for a while now, I think he's one of the better creatures I've done.
I might be drawing a human version of him, and I might not. Depends.
He fits nicely into a little story i've been thinking up.

Edit: So. I've desided to type up a little more about Factor's species and history.
Here we go.
First, there are too species that fit is this genre of creature, Asquil and Asbil. (Both plurals are the same as singulars)
Asquil stands for Artificial Sentient Quadrupedal Intelligent Life-form, Asbil for Artificial Sentient Bipedal Intelligent Life-form.
They are not robots or cyborgs, but are more closely related to Golems or Homunculi.
Most have rectangle or square markings, but arrows, 'X's, stripes, circles, triangles, hexagons, and musical notes are not uncommon.
The usually have long bodies and thin legs, and most posses hooves, both cloven and not. And most importantly, all have a white or light-colored plain mask-like head or face, usually with eye markings and a simple shape. They are usually light built and graceful, and many can fly though few have wings.
They cannot reproduce, but some find partners.
They are they communicate though body language and whistling or purring sounds, but can imitate practically any noise, including human speech.
They are as smart (or smarter) then a human.
I think that's all... for now... >.>
