Little stress sketch done a while back. One of my many characters, this is Mandarinwolf, or Mandie. He's a mandarin fish-wolf hybrid that is mixed with various other species of fish whenever he's drawn. He's an amphibious creature, with gills hidden behind the frills of his ears. His lungs may substitute as swim-bladders as necessary. His markings also vary greatly, but their vibrant colors serve as warning to predators and rival critters. He is highly toxic, and uses spurs at the tips of his fins to inject said venom, or slash at prey using his claws, which also house toxins similar to those of a box jellyfish. I use these to try out different styles, many more to come.
