Espeon my Style

Hello dA community.
Here you go with a new Eeveelution of mine and simultaneously a request by the deviant j-c-o.

I though Umbreon was hard to redesign... this one was even harder. Espeon is a very lovely Pokémon judging by its ingame look. An elegant body, a tiny head and its big eyes and ears lead to a cuteness level over 9000... at least that's what I think.
The most important thing about this redesign was to think of a way to combine spirituality and reality. Like combining ice and fire without destroying one of them... let's say it was very complicated.
I admit I could have done this faster, but believe me: I scribbled lots of espeons before this concept popped out... then I had the outlines and left them alone for about 2 months, this espeon needs affection now .

Espeon can't take physical hits very well, be careful when you pet its head *splatter*
One of my friends asked why it is so muscular - it is the second fastest eeveelution, I thought it could need muscles.

Thanks to all my watchers for waiting so long.
