As you might imagine, lots of artists enjoy playing with original concepts since it tests their skills --- and allows for a LOT of creativity to flourish.
As Faline is also an original species (technically), almost every artist in my gallery has played with her design and biology, that said, she isn't hyper original (such as a sparkle dog or a spikey dragonoid). So take that as you will. If you're going for hybridized creations, you'll have a lot of luck. Can't wait to see the kind of art you get!
