While I was reviving/revising/revamping old, forgotten and neglected character designs... I stumbled upon Stephan, a Geoterran Jackal.

Stephan is a character I haven't drawn in over a decade, the most recent art of him that I could find was from 2008, long before I had even figured out proportions! He represents the Geoterran "Archer Jackal" race, a form which can conjure bows and arrows for use in combat. Currently, the only other named character of this race I have is Harrison, the explorer, but I have yet to depict him making use of his abilities as an archer.

I've depicted him both with a crossbow and a longbow in the past, but I've decided that the longbow is the default, canon "conjured" weapon, and I might wind up revising the design at some point to give it that vaguely magical appearance. To bury a bit of lore in a description nobody will ever read, most of these Geoterran "conjured weapons" can continue to exist in their physical states indefinitely, only ever really reverting back into their "energy" state if dismissed by the owner, or if the owner calls upon it and it's in another location. Stephan typically carries his bow with him, as well as some arrows.

Also, the outfit I used to draw him wearing was something of a species default, but I might end up redesigning it as some sort of Geoterra Defense Alliance uniform. In the meantime, his underwear remains canon.

Originally, this guy was referred to as "Stephen" but since I always pronounced it "steh-fan" anyways I figured I might as well change the spelling to reflect that.
