Here's some sketchy headshots of canine companions of my OC's. I've never really done any proper drawings of them, I've only made some vague sketches and had even more vague images of them in my head for years. These might not be their final designs but atleast they're close to the vibes I've wanted for each of them.

Ramblings for those who are interested:
· The first one top left belongs to Nathan. Not sure if it's a male or a female but it's some sort of an army breeding project reject. They've been in each others lives since it was a puppy and it's very loyal to Nathan and doesn't let anyone else touch it unless Nathan tells it to. Constantly keeps an eye on Nathan and is always ready to do anything he says. Has seen many battles and doesn't hesitate to protect Nathan with it's life. It's inspired mostly by wolves and wolfdogs.
· The second one belongs to Avery. She's kind and protective of everyone she considers as part of her pack but otherwise doesn't like to socialize with others and prefers her or Avery's company only. She's mostly calm and collected but is always ready to help and protect Avery and her friends. Doesn't mind others touching her but she'll let you know when enough's enough. Very alert and conscious of her surroundings. She has lived the nomad life with Avery her whole life and has seen her share of fights. She's inspired by Jämthunds, Saarloos Wolfdogs and sled dogs.
· The third one belongs to Roy. They have been together since Roy ran away from home to join the nomads as a teen. She's seen a bunch of fights too, since Roy was good at getting into them. She might look scary and serious, but when she's feeling safe she loves attention and rubs from anyone who is just willing to give them, so obviously she doesn't mind others touching her. She's very playful too, but she's oftentimes too rough for other dogs' liking. She doesn't like sudden moves or loud noises though and might response aggressively to them. In battles she's fierce and mostly only protects Roy and herself. Her skin is thick and loose so she can take a lot of punishment before it actually hurts or hinders her. Inspired by various livestock guardian dogs.
· Bottom left one belongs to Neena. It's just a pet dog and has never seen a fight in it's life. <i>Yet</i> :) It's generally kind and friendly but prefers Neena's company the most and likes to be close to her most of the time. It doesn't mind others touching it, and it'll just move away if it starts feeling uncomfortable. Once they start living the nomad life together with Neena, it's very curious about everything but also on the edge more. When it comes to fighting, it might not have the skills or the training for it but protecting Neena comes naturally like an instinct. Trusts more in it's speed and nimbleness in those situations; it's the fastest one of all of the other canines here. Inspired by White Swiss Shepherd Dogs.
· The yellow one belongs to Dahlia. She's under two years old when they meet so basically still a puppy. She needs to be trained and it's not easy for a first-timer like Dahlia, thankfully there are others to help and show them both how it's done. She's very social and attention-seeking and she adores all the older canines in her pack. She's very unpredictable when it comes to fights, sometimes she does her best to attack and protect but sometimes she just may run away or cower behind others. That's untrained puppies for you, but Dahlia has never regretted for choosing her to be her companion and never gives up on her. Inspired by Golden Retrievers and various spitz dogs.
· The last two are wild wolves who don't really "belong" to anyone, but they offer their companionship to "Red" occasionally. The right one is a female pack leader and the left one is her son. Red has spent lots of time with the wolf pack since she was a baby when the pack saved her life. Red always makes it clear to everyone that she doesn't command anyone in the pack, the wolves decide for themselves when and how to help her if she is in need of help. When Red decides to leave home and join the others, the male wolf decides to accompany her. Wolves are very averse of humans so they don't let anyone else than Red to touch them. They also only tolerate the dogs but the dogs also have lots of respect for the wolves and stay out of their way without asking. The wolves are very intelligent and independent and prefer to live in their "own world" in their own territories out of everyone's sight. They only fight to protect their pack and territory and in case of Red, for her. The pack has seen her grow and she has helped them in many ways so they just like to pay it back to her by helping her in return.

Oh yeah did I mention they're like pony/horse sized and can be ridden?
