OC Intro: Ather (Patreon)

I've had a rough sketch of her sitting in my Krita file for . . . . I'd say over a year. Finally got around to working on her.

Funnily enough, I thought of the name first and once I finished the design, I realised I'd been inspired by Heather from Over the Hedge. I did use Heather as a reference so there are some clear similarities; eye colour, the subtle emo look, but I wanted to personalise her a bit more with the fur markings and tail/ear skin markings and from there it became more Ather than Heather
