Okay, so maybe he looks a bit like Spiffy? I think that's probably because there's a bunch of design concepts I love that I used in both. Probably the ears - big floppy ears are cute! And a good reminder for me to talk less and listen more.

No name yet for this fellow, but I'm trying to get some sort of consistency with proportions, 'cause I'm gonna have to do this in 3D, with foam.
Somewhat intimidating, yes, but it's helped my art to think in 3D, so here we go!

I'm still debating between a cross fox and a mutt for his species... rounded or pointed ears... big nose or small... I'll figure it out! So there will be more to see soon, hopefully.
