Okay these are going to be tricky to write for. I debated even showing them... >///<

I think I've had most of these refs ready to go in one form or another since january, I've held off on uploading them for 2 reasons. 1: I do keep going back and adding slight deviations to them here and there, (like the mouths are a very recent addition, only felt like adding them last few days ^^) and didn't want them up until I was certain I had everything in.

Reason 2: I have a bit of a reputation for "redesigning" too much. These are my first refs since I "quit" the anime artsyle, so to speak, and went back to something more akin to my older western style but far more polished. Still think it was a mistake for me to chase that anime/manga zeitgeist as long as I did, it's hard to describe, but it was detrimental to my skill and mental wellbeing trying to perfect it. So yeah, I wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna throw all this out and do them again in 6 months time and that the designs actualy "stuck" this time round.

Well this is the longest I've looked at ref sheets and not had that feeling so... Maybe they're here to stay this time? Maybe we can call this final this time? Fingers crossed...

With all that out of the way though, Draco! I'll still go by Nick from my old account if people want to call me that, but in universe characters name is Draco and making the switch from cat to doggy fully official. The thief getup was originally going to have the dalmatian colors too, but it really was too much of a giveaway in universe. The more I looked at it, the more I realized I needed to embrace the disney and go for a "labrador" look on that one. >:3
