Description It's not bad but I truly dislike blue shadings on my own drawings xD ... who cares anyway it's just a ref that i do not likeI feel less ashamed to put it in my gallery now that some people commented on it xD

Name : Leviathan [Levi]
Species : African Painted Dog
Gender : Male
Personnality : He really acts like a ''funny big brother'' [well, he's not funny, but he thinks he is xD]. He's always nice to people, especially the youngest. He's also often smiling and with a sweet look on the face. He sees Hor as his brother/son since he met him after loosing his family and that Hor was alone back then too :c He taught him how to hunt, but he's still really better than him and will often hunt for both of them. His relationship with his ''love'' is quite weird and very different from any loving/caring relationship, but you'll see in the comic. It's more a ship I'm doing then a real couple.
Love : Alyssia [... I don't know when I'll upload a ref for her]
Friends : He only considers Hor as his friend, but he gets along with everybody.

They're nice looking creatures  
Yeah I know >__< This is an old reference, though.. but I still struggle with their anatomy today ;;

Yea they're so pretty! When I first discovered them, I was so fascinated by their unique unusual coats! Because no other wild canines have such intricate coats aaah so amazing.

I haven't really drawn them much, and your level is definitely higher than mine, but I think the easiest place to start is their ears and tail; their ears are very large and also kinda rounded, their tails are not as bushy and the part that attaches to the body starts less furry then it gets a bit more fluffy(again not too bushy). And like lol general anatomy is something I need to work on myself but I think their head structure is a bit different from Wolves? I dunno lol

Since I'm inexperienced, that's the best advice that can give you based on my observationsXD

True that ! ;; Well even domesticated canines... only a few of them have such beautiful coats. 

Thanks for all the tips, I'll keep them in mind when I'll draw another one of them !

Love this new character Levi looks sooo cool, love his fur patterning and haha his personality made me laugh, he thinks he's funny but isn't (sounds like my mum)  and good on you for making an African painted dog OC (your really good at usingmore original species for your characters )

I'm glad you do ! I tried to make his markings looking as close as possible to a real Wild Dog ! (: Didn't work really much though  
Haha xD I'm really like that too. 
Thanks ! :3 It's for my comic actually A non-wolf comic that takes place in Africa. So I have three hyenas, a cheetah, a jackal and a wild dog

I think it worked well as long as you know and people at least know he's a canine and not a dolphin or something then it's all good sounds like an awesome comic nice to have a comic that isn't about wolves (says the person who had a comic about wolves haha )

I WON'T LIKE IT! I WILL F*CKING LOVE IT!!!   bad guy side stories are good, side stories keep the thing fresh, interesting and can create a lot of tension meh it feels like wolf comics are overdone but if they're good then they are seriously GOOD which is cool

Awwh gawd, why aren't you proud of him?! Look at it!! You're always so creative with the wolves, those circles are really cute and I never would've think about putting circles on a wolf, but look, it looks amazing!!
And the colours!! It's so beautiful, gentle and it fits perfectly!
And the fur again is so beautiful *O* detailed yet clear ;A; Your wolves are really amazing! <3
And I love how he thinks he's funny xD
Can't wait to see Alyssia!

But thanks ! ^w^ I'm still glad you like him
And the fur too qwp

Kola. 
You know your comment made me really, really happy ? ;_; 
I always have trouble with anatomy. 
Paws, etc ... 
And when I did this, I had to re-do it at least 10 times before I was ok with the anatomy. 
I'm very glad my effort worth it
It means really a lot to me ... All the things you said ;-;
Thank you.
Thank you sooo much my friend !
