Well, this is the new me. Not much change in the over all feel of Maxrunn, but a few things added to help me deal with the otter side of myself.

1) I added otter features to her physical self. Including an otter shaped nose, otter whiskers and her front paws are like an otters, including the webbing. She is still a mutt in every other way. Part Aussie shepherd part unknown mixture. She can no longer be drawn with a tiny tail. I also made her nose and paw pads multi-toned. Her hind paws are a normal dogs but have the same color pattern as the front.

2) Otter became a shadow. A sort of physical manifestation of the secondary being within. Otter can move and blink separately from Maxrunn but cannot be separated from her! So you may draw Maxrunn without Otter but never Otter without Maxrunn. Like a shadow, you can't always see Otter. If that makes sense.

Maxrunn is typically the happier but weaker of the two. Otter tends to be either the anger, annoyance or the self defense side. A body guard, shield, strong point.

So that is the new 25 year old me. Happy birthday self.

Special thanks go to my otter-mutt contest participants! (on DA)

You were all very inspirational. After doodling otter-mutts since the contest ended, I wound up just keeping the dog shape. But the idea of the paws, nose and whiskers was from all of you! *hugs* thanks again!
