My sona, Tayu, the German Shepherd. Prononced Tah-Yuu. When said at the correct speed it should sound like Tye-Yuu.

The dog's base lineart was drawn by  Jailbird for me to make my ref. <3 I edited some of it to fit my character. Ex. Ears, accessories, markings. I know the eye markings are common, but I've been using them for 8 years. They go down the muzzle, but right before the lips start, and then under the chin.

Tayu is a 19 year old pup in dog years. She's rather short, her shoulders go to about knee height to a human. She has cream inside ear fur, I just didn't draw it on the ref.

In anthro she has all the same markings, and is again 19. She usually wears frilly outfits and dresses in baby colors or matching colors to her hat. [She only wears the hat in quad and with matching outfits in anthro] Her hair is to her middle back, however the highlights only appear on her bangs as it's an actual birth marking and not a dye job. She always wears her ribbons, mostly in shades of pink. She's about 5'1 1/2 in height.

For now these are her markings, however suggestions to improve are appriciated.

Please don't use the design on her hat for your characters. It is my trademark design. o.o I won't go mad if you already used it before viewing my character, though. xD
