Description
I guess the closest thing to an official ref that I'm going to churn out anytime soon...?I might make another ref for her outfits--I make no promises, though.
Her underbelly looks lighter than it actually is--it's cream, not white.
I'm not picky about styles or structure, so feel free to contort her in a way that fits your style--digitigrade or plantigrade feet are okay!
This is NOT an "open" character, this is my personal fursona. She is not an RPG or fanfic or other story character.
Name: Stray
Sex: F
Height: 5'11" (anthro); in between the average height of a GSD and a great dance as a feral dog
Sexuality: hetero, possibly grey-asexual
Body Type: not skinny! I have hips and (arguably) a waist, but I'm a big gal
Breed: half coyote/GSD and half grey wolf/great dance
Colors: orangish tan (main); brown (saddle, ears, front paws); cream (underbelly and inner ears); grey (eye patches)
Notable Physical Characteristics: nose bump; chin scruff; optional snaggle fangs; optional black claws and pawpads; scruffy tail; large ears
Clothing Style: casual Goth--usually just wears jeans with a t-shirt; sometimes wears dresses or skirts, but isn't very decorated or detailed about it. She's shown here with capris to show off her legs, but usually she wears pants--bootcut or cargo. I hate wearing skinny jeans.

May I draw fanart of her, please?
(I just want to make sure I have your consent before I run off and start drawing.)

Oh! She has a blue marking now! I am sure that must have been a big deal for you since both of us have barely changed our fursonas since forever ago, lol.

Yep, it took me awhile but I decided a splash of color would be a nice addition, especially since I've always wanted to dye my hair partially blue. I was thinking of changing her colors completely (going from brown to grey),but I just couldn't; even though I want to separate Fido and Stray as characters, I still like to keep similarities between them since, deep down, Stray is still just Fido with a slightly different coat. :3

I understand what you mean, I have been thinking of doing what you have and try to make a split fursona so that Lumina can be her own thing, but I still cannot bring myself to do that. It is what everyone online knows me as, this identity I have build for over the past 8 years. Maybe someday I will find a way to resolve this mini issue, ahha xD

It was a tough decision, no doubt, and it's pretty much why Stray--even though she has some changes--still looks a lot like Fi. It helped that Fido was her own character before she was my fursona, so it was a little easier to separate her (I won't quite say let her go). The toughest part was probably having to change my username; though, fortunately, I think it only took a short time for me to realize that only my name had to be changed, and that my art/style and overall persona were still the same.
Maybe one day it can be a subtle change, like changing the color of a small detail or adding something?

It's great to see her ref all done up after seeing all your progress work! I absolutely love the splash of blue on her tail. It's a very nice addition.
I need to draw her sometime she's so cute D:
