This guy is Shino(Later renamed himself Aino) Inoshishi. He's a character me and  kopykat came up with for a gift art thing he did for me. His version of Shino was very piggy, so I decided to do my own design with a more boarish style in mind.

Shino is an ages old boar demon. For ages and ages, he was an unbeatable force, destroying anybody dumb enough to try and fight him. While it was a great boost to his status quo, he grew bored with a lack of challenge. Then one Halloween, he felt an insane demonic power appear. As it turns out, the half demon Ninetails had gotten locked into his full demon "Dark Ninetails" state. Shino rushed to Ninetails to challenge him to a duel! Upon finding that the source of the insane energy was nothing more then a young, inexperienced kitsune gone mad with power, Shino decided to just squish him, take his energy and depart for another night of mediocrity. Those plans were very quickly dashed, though, as Ninetails had the boar on his knees in mere moments. About to kill the gobsmacked boar, a spark of Ninetails' true self broke through the blood lust of his demonic self and he presented Shino with two options: "Be my slave or die." Absolutely taken aback by this twist of events, Shino decided to accept Ninetails' offer(As if refusing would do any good) and took on the guise Mr. Oinksworth. Before they could cause any havock, though, the day and night passed, allowing Ninetails to return to his old self. With his real personality returned, Ninetails allowed Shino to come and go as he pleases. "But I still own you!" Shino was more then happy to oblige, as he had finally had something that made him complete: A master. Someone who made him look like nothing in comparison. Someone to aspire to be like. As he fell in love with the idea, he decided to change his name from "Shino" to "Aino." He now, under Ninetails orders, appreciates and cares for life and waits at the ready for the moments when his master summons him to battle.

So yeah, I went about this in the same way, Illustrator and then Photoshop. The background is a background texture from Sonic Adventure 2. I'm in love with how he came out!
