Some thought at the Renaissance Festival yesterday helped me come to a conclusion about my wolf character. The blue markings will actually be blue dragon features, such as spikes starting at the top of the head and going all the way down the back up to the base of the tail. There will also be a pair of small blue wings that will be basically non-functional (ie, they can move and flap but will not be strong enough to lift the wolf). The left ear will also have a small dragon earring (shown here: http://a.tgcdn.net/images/products/.....ing_in_ear.jpg )

Also, if the polar bear can be depicted with a kilt, that would be amazing. I just have to figure out what the Jordan tartan looks like...
