Okay let's get back to business. I need to catch up a lot and I don´t want to spam the site so I try to upload just a few pages every day, till everything got posted.
Here we have the concept sheet of feral Mr. Snake.
Not much of a difference between Mr. Snake from the movie and this one. The only few differences are the missing clothes and I gave Snake a bit of a longer snout.
I know that the comic book series from Aaron Babley said that Mr. Snake is an eastern brown snake which is a venom producing not really large snake with almost no pattern or markings on the body. I wanted to go more by what the movie gave to me and here we rather have a non venomous python or similar type of snake.
The size and the color pattern make me come to this conclusions.
This reference sheet shows a bit of different poses and akles of Mr. Snake and give a color palette. I tried to keep his design simple and easy to reproduce for comics and alike because sometimes he isn´t so easy to color, especially the brown pattern line on his back can be annoying when his coils are laying on eachother.
Usually, snakes like that don´t live in North America's nature, so it would be an uncommon scenario happening to have Wolf and Snake meeting eachother. I could imagine that Snake once lived with humans or was owned by them, living in a terrarium, but was then set out into the wild for whatever reason and Wolf found him there unable to move because it was too cold for him.

That depends on the view. I mean, if you are a snake, living in a maybe 1m x 50cm glass cage and can barely move, you cannot track food or hunt which is your basic instinct, I guess that you won´t be too happy with your life. Real snakes are reptiles which a language, the human doesn´t really understand. To humans, a snake looks relaxed and happy when you give it UV light, and a dead guinea pig once per month or something but I don´t know if that snake really is that happy in this case. And that´s when a snake is in good captivity. There are many people who don´t even know how to properly keep reptiles and those eventually get diseases or people set them free because of exploding costs or something. That has been the case during the Russian attack to Ukraine when the gas price raised dramatically. I don´t know if this has been an issue in the US, too but it has been here in Europe.
I loved Snake's deduction! Certainly, many times the balls influence a lot of the behavior of males by releasing testosterone (it is thanks to that that we can enjoy confrontations or competitions, aggressiveness, and sexual arousal). Sometimes it seems that our balls replace the brain in the thinking XD
I love the potential that this situation of curiosity and ignorance about the anatomy of other species gives, it is very exciting. And I guess Snake must be thinking, if Wolf says that sometimes it is annoying/uncomfortable... maybe he doesn't mind Snake eating these. After all, here he says that he can never resist eating something that looks edible... and those parts are meat
On the other hand, it is quite recent that "females are interested in intelligence", in reality it is all about the male providing protection and stability. Before, what was valued was strength and bravery (because that was what allowed the guy to hunt, for example), and precisely the males with less testosterone... more cowardly, less confrontational and docile/shy... were the ones who became beta or gamma males and the females did not prefer them. In nature, intelligence is quite secondary. It was only with human civilization that meritocracy placed people in better jobs, with higher money earnings (another invention of civilization), that the intelligent began to be valued more because the "bad boys" with their excess of testosterone became less fitting, quarrelsome and did not go far. But even today, human women feel a lot of attraction for the so-called "bad boys", those are the "sexy" and "cool" ones, and the friendly and intelligent ones generally always remain in the Friend Zone (we still maintain those pack instincts).

I can´t really speak for humans because I never really understood their social behavior. In wolves, it is not the strongest who wins or being a good leader, that´s all just made up by humans. Wolves act different. To them it is a matter of survival to make good decitions and a successful hunt doesn´t come from strength alone but also with good plans and tactics especially when hunting large prey which is able to defend after approaching or seperating an individual from the herd. But wolves work different than humans anyway. Their pack is not just a mixed crowd of individuals, it is a family and the leaders are usually the parents who the other usually younger relatives put their trust into. When you constantly make bad decitions because you aren´t able to think twice, then your relatives don´t trust you anymore.
