Way back when, I learned about the Inugami myth of ancient Japan, a dog sacrificed in a specific (and pretty cruel, gruesome) way and turning into a spirit (just a fun fact, the scar over the neck is actually a reference to it's summoning ritual). After learning about the myth, it took be a week to design and create a "furryfied" version of the spirit.
A little over a year later, I post it and decide to eventually redraw it.

Expect to see this guy again in the future, along with all my other characters
