Remember my most recent Wolf TF? After writing that little story with it and doing some RP stuff, I've decided to make him a minor OC of mine ^^
(I've changed his appearance a bit from the Wolf TF. This is because his appearance actually did change, and because I wanted to make him look... a little less generic? XD)
Bio:
Name: Jerald
Gender: Male
Race: Wolf (used to be human)
Description and personality:
Jerald is a chubby wolf that used to be a human. He is very shy and nervous, and constantly stutters whenever he talks. However, even with those characteristics, Jerald can be very brave, especially when his friends are in danger (he cares about friends a lot... he hasn't had any in years). He is typically very friendly, and will only fight if he has to.
Long before Jerald became a wolf, he lived with his family at the edge of a forest. However, one day, a giant patrol of strange men assaulted Jerald's family... Jerald was taken prisoner and taken to a faraway prison facility (Jerald refuses to talk about his family's fate). There he stayed for many years... until one day, 2 brothers that were top ranking officials of the prison took Jerald away from there and to a forest, where they injected him with a special goop that transformed him into a big, fluffy wolf. The brothers planned to make Jerald into a murdering machine by turning him into a wolf and having primal instincts overcome his weak nature... But their plan failed. Jerald made a friend name Alex, and learned some bravery after saving him from one of the brothers. Because of these facts, the brothers decided it would be practically impossible for instincts to take over Jerald's mind, and they abandoned the area along with Jerald an Alex. Alex and Jerald then went to stay at Alex's house, but after resting for awhile, someone knocked on Alex's door. At the door was a girl named Elza, who lived with a boy named Sonic11110 (who was friends with Alex), who had come to meet and spend time with Alex, but instead ended up bringing Alex and Jerald to Sonic's treehouse to see if he could fix Jerald. When Sonic attempted to change him back, everything seemed to be going fine, until Jerald's eyes began to glow, and he started to become a wolf again, howling in pain. Jerald didn't suffer any actual damage, but he had become even bigger after the tf revert spell failed. Confused and upset about his failure, Sonic pondered things, and asked Jerald if he would like to stay in his forest. However, Jerald declined, and decided instead to live with Alex, as his house was the closest thing Jerald had felt to being a home in years.

Abilities: While Jerald walks on 2 legs, he can run perfectly fine on 4 (though he can't go very far).
Claws and teeth
Effective body slam

Facts:
Jerald only wears the pants he had on when he transformed... no one knows why. Perhaps it symbolizes a shred of his humanity...?
Jerald's shirt was given to him by Alex.
Jerald sleeps and stays in the Guest room of Alex's house.


Took a little longer to write than I had expected (although, I did kinda have to summarize a rp revealing his story... XD) ^^;
I still like it though :3
Anyway... Introducinnnggggg... JERALD! XD
I won't use Jerald for too much, but he is adorable in my opinion >W<
But let's all hope he can become human again one day ;w;

This is also my first piece that I have used Manga Studio 5 EX with... But I used it mainly for coloring, while Paint.net was used for lineart, lol ;w;
I still need to figure out how to use MS5EX... I wanted to shade this, but I wasn't sure what the best way to do it was, so I just didn't do it '-'
I also tried using my tablet... that failed though, I don't like the tablet much right now (I prefer using my drawing utensil on the actual surface and not on a separate one currently) ;-;

May post my main character's ref in the future :3
