Description

This was a practice sketch I ended up (sorta) finishing. I wanted to practice some facial expressions and this was the best one I did. I was going for "intrigued", but someone pointed out that he looks like he's trying to seduce someone and now I can't unsee it. "Seductive Kyro" would be a situation to navigate very carefully indeed. He won't deliberately harm people he likes, but he also weighs as much as a small car and has only a vague concept of how gentle he needs to be to even shake someone's hand without maiming them. Proceed beyond a handshake at your peril.

One of the things I wanted to do with this that I think I succeeded with (after about 5 attempts) was making his mane look shaggy and unkempt. Another thing I did that I haven't before was I've given Kyro a sorta vestigial dew-claw on each of his wrists. Cnossi have two fingers on each hand as their hands are evolved from cloven hooves. I figured that the thumb is adapted from the auxiliary digits/dew claws that cattle have just above their hooves and therefore it would be cool to add the second one in its undeveloped form on the wrist.
