There's no way this piece was completed on October 28 of this year since I've had this completed on my computer for a very long time now and only just recently decided that it was done. >_< I may have had this done in April-ish? Something like that? Oh well, it only matters to me, anyways. XD

I don't know about future character refs, but definitely for Shanrai I'm going with flat colours because I shade his white fur with blue, so people won't be able to tell what's shading and what's marking. >__<;; Flat colouring is very tempting, though, so I can just spit out these character refs without too much trouble.

Shanrai was my veerrryy first official character I made and he looked very similar to this in his first design: http://silvericywolf.deviantart.com.....414161#/dbfu82

And then he looked like this: http://silvericywolf.deviantart.com.....414161#/dbmbq4 (*Dies from the lellow hair* >w< I was on a Vash kick, okay?)

And then he looked like this: http://silvericywolf.deviantart.com.....4244&qo=72 (*Dies from the old, terrible art*)

And now he looks like this ref sheet. 8D I've settled on this design - it's all white and blue and poof. ^^

Shanrai's nekkid anthro ref is done, too, I just need to check over some things first before I upload it.
