Drake here is the more personal of my two 'sonas. He's a little closer to real-life me, with a few of my actual features. He's also my newer 'sona, but there's already more images of him than my older one! Ah, small ironies. That said, he's also more likely to not think something through, or act impulsively.
I usually imagine Drake living somewhere on the Jakkai home-world of Medius, although I'm not sure where. Probably in a larger Jakkai city, with a nearby human port. Thus, he is exposed to lots of things, but might not be totally familiar with everything. In his town, he works with dyes, helping people color their clothing. The chemistry involved with that is another real-life parallel. Drake likes to experiment, looking for new colors or better ways to make a color. He also likes to experiment with his Fire Magic, but since he's a Jakkai he's unable to do too much with it. He simply lacks the control and power of other species.
I'll save the NSFW details for another time. ;)
The Jakkai species and most of the art used in this reference was made by the-chu. Look them up for more Jakkai stuff or to read their award-winning webcomic, Slightly Damned, which is the origin of the Jakkai species.

How much did this commission cost? I have been looking into getting my own Jakkai recently!
Well, I actually made most of this myself using an old Jakkai reference and Paint for the fur and face pattern and Photoshop for the final assembly, text, and clothes. The only commissioned part is the central image, which was a $60 commission from the-chu, but they're only occasionally open for commissions. Plus, I already had the fur pattern and palette selected by then.
That said, I'm sure they'd be take your commission when they're open.

I'm currently working on the reference for his fur and face pattern myself but clothing is difficult for me x.x I do hope that they will be open for a commission soon but until then I have to make do! Thanks for the information ^^
You're welcome!
For the clothes, I Googled for a super simple template I could use, and then worked off copies of that. I needed the commission to put everything together.
