It's 2017 and the worldbuilding just. Keeps. Happening.
Enter a world (several worlds) of magical dogs, Pokemon, warriors, dragons, and whatever else I can feasibly draw with my current skill level. Enjoy long, really long, I mean seriously I've wri...
well the somewhere else is here and it's raining. slow day. got nothing accomplished. eventually i figured i'd just draw and listen to music because that's what I do when I'm tired or in a rut creatively. Working on my current stories has been a bit of a drag but I think it's more that I keep falling in and out of them rather than any fault with the books. I think being the key words here- it could be I really do need to spice things up. Long term projects are hard. I've considered starting Deja Vu but I don't think it'll do anything but tighten the noose a little.
Anyhow, today's going to be a nice, slow kind of art day with lots of Chrona monologue and character tidbits. Nice to have all of you along.

Well I lied before we get into the deep stuff we're going to have a warm up. I couldn't think of anything to draw so I tried to imitate the LupisVulpes style. It's a pretty basic doggo and it was a five minute study- hence why I didn't get the proportions right, like the smaller head- and a lot of the charm in LupisVulpes art comes from the colors and details so this is actually really lacking. RIP. Most of you (read: those of you invested in the warriors/doggo animation community on YouTube) know who LupisVulpes is, right? A friend of mine was inspired a lot by her when she was younger and while Lupis has a huge case of same-face syndrome (that she's been working on in her defense) I always really adored her style and some of the ideas behind Audience. I mean, Audience made no goddang sense unless you'd been following her for years, but still. Doggos, man.

For the first character sketch, have an Orcafin (or just Orca, for friends, of which she doesn't have many).
I was trying to find a breed headcanon for her and was going to go with Manx or something but then remembered that a black-and-white snoeshoe is the only thing that would realistically come close to having her markings. Even then she doesn't really have the body type for it (you can't tell because I cut it off at a headshot) and I ended up giving her indulgently wind-blown fur, like the edgy bastard she is. I considered throwing her post-death bowtie in there but restrained myself.
It's hard to do "realistic" Orcafin because her caricature kind of lends itself to being cartoony. I'm sure there's some way I could incorporate the wolfish, smirk-y demeanor without just making her a more generic... carnivore... I guess... hey, I'll get there.
