She's a main character, not a sona. 

Sounds: Yen - groans, roars and shrieks
Location examples: Landscape ex1  , Landscape ex1.2  , Landscape ex1.3  , Landscape ex2  , Landscape ex 2.2  , Landscape ex2.3  , Landscape ex4  , Landscape ex4.2  , Landscape ex 4.3  , Landscape ex0  , Landscape ex0.1
Some music that would fit well if you decide to draw this beastie: Lorne Balfe Silver for Monsters Cloakd and Dagger The Hunter  

Random facts:
1. Yen belongs somewhere within the period of 14-17th century. Which technically means she's dead by now. 

2. She can speak the human language, it's the only thing that differs her from other creatures in the realm. 

3. She has 2 companions that she met in her later life, a griffin and a bunny.

3. Due to her nature of frequently killing and dining on humans (mostly women who work in the fields away from home or lone travelers) she often tends to be a subject of bounty contracts which result in her traveling and moving more often than she would like. 

4. Yen moves more similarly to a feline than a canine. She has no problem climbing trees, cliffs and even castles and city walls. She doesn't do so very often however.

5. During the 17th century, not long after she got captured, part of her ears got cut off and both of her hind legs broken after a series of torment. 

6. A few decades before her death, she was the property of a captain known for raiding merchant ships and taking over warships, she was used for getting rid of enemy crews. 

7. She's not very aggressive or willing to fight by nature. She tends to avoid conflict as much as possible. 

She even uses her tail to fool people more than actually fight. She's  known to hide in bushes, leaving her tail exposed which often makes people think they're dealing with a sort of draconid or any other huge reptile and not an enlarged doggo. 

8. She really loves seals and bunnies. She would rather hang herself than suffer hurting one.

UPDATE January 2017: New ref, slight changes and add-ons in design (added shoulder marking, removed elbow spikes and accessories, changed claw design, slightly altered mane and ear design, changed teeth and height, added sounds)
Kept the "bestiary entry" design. 
If you have any questions about her feel free to ask!
Thank you for looking! ♥


UPDATE 2015 Turned the whole thing into a piece of "Bestiary" book rather than ref sheet.
I suppose you can not really call her my fursona anymore for that reason, rather a made up beast that's serves me as a main character.

So I've been thinking about this A LOT now so I think it's time to ask, how does her back claw (that long one) work?! Where does it go when she sits down? x3 This is important stuff for me
And the "let me axe you a question" face looks so good OWO
It's nice to see you being a little active here since I NEVER EVER remember to look at your instagram xD

There was no easy way of telling it so I had to do a super quick sketch and animation for it :,D But Im glad you asked! The "spur", that long claw on the back leg, is actually very movable in its socket. If you would to press it against a hard object or ground, it would simply fall back. It also moves with the leg muscles, when they tense aka when she folds her paw is also when the spur gets pushed back, closer to the leg, 
just see here --> Yen-spur-movement  This is how I tried to make it work :,D The image furthest to the right is the maximum possible spur bend, it physically can't go further than that. So it can't poke her in the leg. 
But anyways, thank you so much<33 And I know I was incredibly inactive on here and Im hoping to fix that this year! ;w;

Oh wow, sorry to cause you so much trouble with my question
But I think I understand how you mean, the animation helped a lot
So if she sits down and you would see her from the side you wouldn't really see it since it is laid against her leg?

Don't worry about it! I needed to work it out anyways! I had a few ideas but after you asked I just needed to settle with one and I finally did :,D
And yes, precisely!

Okay so one of the reasons I asked may or may not have been because of this sta.sh/21crpqdzqhlb?edit=1 , I started on it before chirstmas so you hadn't updated her ref yet so her ears might be a bit off but I hope you like it anyway, and if you find any errors just let me know and I'll try to fix it asap

Oh my god Sara
What a surprise omg, I wasn't expecting this at all eeeeeeeeeeee, she looks SO precious in your style!! 
I love it so much! You even got the lil circle face marking which a lot of people seem to forget :,D Everything looks so clean and smooth as well OuO
Love how you transitioned that neck marking, so fluffeh<3 Her tail looks mighty epic yo, so majestic.
And the ying yang sign omg I can't explain it but it feels so... fitting?? Tho I am really curious as to why you included it? What's the backstory? Because I really do like it c8
Anyways, how can I take you enough dear, this is just too precious ♥♥
Thank you thank you THANK YOU! <33

I'm so glad you like it! About a month before Christmas I made a list for everyone that I wanted to make gifts for but sadly I never managed to get them done before Christmas But anyway, you where on that list since you've stuck around for a pretty long time now
There isn't really a story behind it, I wanted to make something behind her so I was looking at photoshops "pattern layer" (I think that is the name at least? o.o ) and from the start I was going to go with just a plain box but then I saw the Ying/Yang symbol and thought something like "Yen, sounds a lot like ying/yang so why not, not a huge difference " and thought it looked really neat and fitted perfect
It was my pleasure! except for her tail.. it sucked drawing it and making all the spikes look good xD

Really nice design! I really enjoy your concept work and seeing your process through out. 
A question, how would your character Yen look at night? 
Keep making great art!

ImagineCorgis In reply to FreckledIllustration [2017-01-05 21:21:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, it means a great deal to me to hear such a thing! ♥♥
Regarding your question, there wouldn't be any change in appearance if that's what you meant,
she's generally more active during the night however, whether it's strolling around the forests and discovering new paths or observing nearby villages possibly looking for a meal. She's very quiet and subtle during night so she mostly goes unnoticed no matter where she goes. She tends to keep more off a low-profile during the night than during the day. She tends to move through bushes or tall grass so she's not easy to spot during night.  
If you by look meant "see", during the day she sees more or less like a human. During night, her vision remains the same but it's much less-saturated, so it's just darker of course with more shades of grey than during the day.   
If that didn't answer your question or you have more, do tell~
