Although this may not be as graceful as some of the example options, it was the first thing that came to mind and I just had to get it down. I also really wanted to make sure I pushed for a bit of extra detail, as you showed quite a bit of detail in your own art. Hopefully I didn't make this guy
too detailed for you!
He's a mix of human, feline, and beetle (scarab-adjacent but generally just a beetle).
Here's a version without the jewelry/capelet as well:

I imagined he should have some kind of tattoos, but that felt like a) too much extra detail, and b) tattoos should come from the characters' story or lore imo, so wanted to leave that choice to you! :)

Ideas for my character
Gender: Any
Species: ANY Fantasy/Monstrous Creatures - Dragons, Unicorns, Dinosaur-Inspired beasts, Minotaurs, etc.
Aesthetics: Nature, Shells, and Gemstones
Colors and Designs: Something
Fantastical, Whimsical, Natural yet Colorful! Maybe dull colors with a pop of something bright, or go full "Avatar" with colorful beasts!
What I Dislike: No Eyeburn please. Balance those colors!
And Nothing
too spooky. Could be a bit on the weird/D&D side (Ethereal Marauders, my beloved!) but nothing
too terribly nightmarish. No biblical angels or object heads either. Sorry!!
Other/Suggestions: If you need to simplify and make it more furry-like, or mlp or disney style, that's fine too!
Things for Inspiration: These are photos from my personal hoard: Polished rocks and gems, seashells, geodes and the like. They're all special to me, and the photos don't do justice, but hopefully you get the idea! If you have a question about one of the stones specifically, just ask, but I'm sure you can find better photos of stones online! Just want some kind of fantasy creature inspired by the general vibe of my nonsense hoard.
