I used Zhivago's awesome reference template to get my thoughts in order for my newest character, Kodi. I'll be using this as a reference for future commissions primarily for the colors, but I do like how the template version looks, too.

Kodi is Garnet's apprentice/assistant. He's a male wolf, but his final design/clothing will skew more toward effeminate/gender ambiguous. He's 7 years younger than Garnet, but taller than her. He looks up to Garnet and faithfully assists her in their adventures :)

(Note: I color my stuff by hand on a Galaxy Note 3 and I'm tired so I didn't erase the excess color - I hope you don't mind!)
