If someone ever asks me what kind of anthro character I like, I can now just point to Areon and say "that". wvrnMlem

Remember how I said Skyrim and its werewolf gameplay inspired me to get back to drawing? It also made me want to come up with werewolf-like character to use as my fursona (in addition to my wyvern). I always did have a soft spot for werewolves since they're more animalistic than most other anthro characters.

I didn't really have any plans for his design apart from "mantled beast meets werewolf". The fur color was a placeholder, but as I was working on the shading, I liked how it looked and decided to leave the colors as-is.
This created an entirely new challenge for me, where shading was extremely important because otherwise features would melt together and the body would be an unrecognizeable blob. Just imagine that hand in the foreground and the body behind it with less or no shading.

I'm proud of this drawing because I managed to make it work. The fur looks fluffy, the leg shading is one step better compared to my wyvern ref sheet, and I even drew two hands with full shading! This was only the second time I drew hands, so I struggled quite a bit with that part, though.

Overall, this was the perfect project on my week off. drgn_happy

@stefan @kura That was the reason why I didn't want to straight up go with Ares. wvrnFlat

@kura Fun fact, my first idea for the name was Ares, but then I noticed that adding the "-eon" suffix sounds really good, too. So yeah, I will do that with other future characters. neofox_lul

Oh and the person responsible for iconography clearly doesn't understand some icons. There's a touch button next to the volume bar with this icon: ⏻

What do you think it does? That's right, it mutes the volume.

Funny how his model is the "higher tier" one and the "lower tier" ones still have physical buttons which are perfectly usable.

Remember when I told you about my dad's new car, whose interface is all touch-based? Even the buttons on the wheel and on the door?
He likes to rest his hand on that button area on the door, and now he accidentally keeps activating random buttons. That was never a problem when physical force needed to be exerted. Good shit.

I just radnomly realized why I dislike a lot of anthro characters. I thought it was just the degree of "humanness", but there's another factor: their posture with digitigrade legs. Hunched over feels appropriate, whereas many anthro characters are pretty much upright and that just looks wrong to me.
