Last year, I started to work on a series of artistic nudes in order to improve my anatomy. So I made two generic canines in order to do this. But I have a big problem creating just "generic" characters to do this with. Now the two of them are fleshed out characters in a story that I'm working on, along with several others.

This was the first image of Shana, and she has kept some of that playful attitude in the story. But most of that has been replaced by some unfiltered badassness. XD

I wanted her colors to be more subtle, so I chose to make her a coyote and gave her some earthy tan fur.
