Avis wanted to see more Shirtless sphinx Ryu. So they stole his shirt.
I didn't realize until recently that people thought that Ryu lacked fur beneath the clothes. But nope. He's a full anthro, so he's got fluff all over except the face.
Few rare sights in this one. Shirtless Ryu. Brown pawpads like they're actually listed on his ref sheet. And Ryu actually displaying claws.
