Oh man
I've been sick since last Wednesday, and so doing any kind of work has been hard, but working on this baby has been a treat (it just took extra long because I'd have to collapse for a while after, haha)
This is a character design commission for 421 who wanted an autumnal themed wild dog character, with a few of the tabby-esque stripes I usually put into my calico designs thrown in.
It was remarkably difficult to get the balance between intricate and not overly complex here, so I really, really hope I've pulled it off! The markings around her thighs and neck are supposed to look like beads or necklaces, but I don't necessarily think they need to stick rigidly to the splotches and spots - that'll be up to her new owner though! :3
I hope you like the outcome!
I think "intricate and not overly complex" is a perfect way to describe her design! While there are a lot of details to the markings they look simplistic enough to make the character seem fun to draw! She definitely has a warm, comfy feel to her which fits the fall theme well! :3 An adorable character with a fantastic design! Great work!!! <3
