Concept: "TMS the Wolf"

This character is a male! I feel the need to mention that first and foremost, given how my other crossdressing character was received for years.
Trying to explain this character's namesake is a doozy--His tentative name is "TMS" but I think I'll name him Thomas. Might extend or change later, have not decided.
I designed this character as an attempt to join a collaborative comic site, and I stopped participating not because I wasn't able, but moreso because, as always, I didn't really get along with anyone. It was hard finding anyone who knew what I was going for specifically. Sure, some people managed to nail the under-appreciated "gruff male wolf dressing as granny" trope or whatever, but as I tried to explain I also intended him to reference Tokyo Movie Shinsha, and elaborating on his backstory, I got odd looks and suggestions to change things around. So, good riddance.
One of these days I'll get to a comic, I do hope. He's a washed up cartoon star , finding virtually no luck climbing back up in the landscape of heavily corporation-sponsored cartoons.

I remember you showing me this! I always thought TMS was a neat concept. You managed to make such a trope-y character into something really unique. It'd be interesting to see what other characters exist in TMS's world. Would he have an antithesis, perhaps one representing those corporation-sponsored cartoons?

OP
Ohh I think you have a great idea of exactly where I intend to go ^^ I only have a little planned but that is part of it, meeting or at least showing off the 'antagonist'. The BIGGEST corporate cartoon idol, heh heh! Of course it'll be a bit different from the one we know, but I believe the parallel will be funny. Again, that was something that upon explaining it people said to change--another reason I wouldn't have had a rewarding experience at that place.
