I took a few days off commissions to make myself a ref, I really needed one and I needed to loosen up. So if you were wondering where I was, this is where lol
anyway, I'm really proud of this, base or no base, this took three days, the first day consisting of my trying to draw the front and back anthro and hating everything it looked like, but the mini looked decent??? anyway, I gave up and used the wonderful anthro base by  quicktalon and lovely feral base by c-Chimera @ DA <3 you both are fantastic artist : ) (link to their bases below)
anyway, I think I found a ref style now, which is awesome. this was so much fun : ) I might take commissions for refs in the future, not using these bases/bases at all?
i also made a few changes to his design, I didn't like the original leg design /:
