Random lore dump about a character I rarely use that somehow has an in-depth backstory in the description of some old and sorta boring art where very few will see it? You know it!

When your morally ambiguous paramilitary organization has access to experimental cloning and genetic engineering technology, there are three good uses for it:
1. Resurrect an extinct species.
2. Make genetically-modified supersoldiers.
3. Both!

This is Six-Five, an anthropomorphic thylacine supersoldier.

Of course, since it was very difficult to locate any useable DNA for this project, what the scientists had to make due with was a tad incomplete and needed to have some gaps filled with DNA from other creatures. This gave them an excuse to take DNA samples from some of the supersoldiers like Dominic Wolff and Stephanie Wuick... and just for added measure, some cybernetic implants were tossed in too. If you're going to put that much effort into your morally dubious supersoldier project, you might as well go all-out.

As I got better at drawing, and more familiar with the thylacine, I gradually changed his color from grey, to a more tawny yellow-grey color--the original reference pictures I'd seen, while in color, made the specimen appear to be grey rather than yellowish.
