Meet Calvin O'Connell.
Cal started as an in-joke, the result of a challenge I posed to the artist to roll as many of my favorite species -- in this case, an otter, husky, red panda, and dragon -- into a single character design. The plan was to try a bunch of different combinations and play around with it, but this one really stuck. Consequently, what was intended to be a throwaway doodle ended up being one of my main fursonas, and would become a part of the artist's own universe of characters as well.
