#I feel like a shorter and less voluminous tail highlights his gangly limbs more

I was looking for animal poses on Pinterest and found someone… awfully familiar.

Ah, I've seen this one! That's a silken windhound. Most sighthound breeds are more or less ancient, but silken is new, developed in the USA in the late 1980's, so they're far too recent to fit Vasco's and Machete's setting. They're very pretty though, and sometimes give off strong Machete energy, like this specific individual.
