2013 art.

Description copy-and-pasted from the original submission page:
One of those old characters I forgot about a while back and wanted to bring back... Garrett, updated after several years of pretty much forgetting he existed. He's modeled after a German Shepherd, back when I first designed him (and this "frame" or race in general) I gave them tall pointed ears. Gotta stay true to some of those old design quirks!

Some character history is in order...
Garrett is a police dog, who before taking up working with the police spent some time in the military. I never really did develop his history much more than that. Personality-wise he is disciplined, loyal and a bit stubborn. His time in the military left him with a strong sense of duty, and while he tends to act rather professional while on the job, he does have a sense of humor and a bit of a soft side that comes out at times. Since I originally designed him as a guard or knight or similar occupation, he retained his spear despite his more modern environment. Although it is an outdated weapon, I think I got it to work with this updated design.
