Sorry if you've already specified this elsewhere and I simply haven't seen yet, but just out of curiosity what kind of canine is your sona character meant to be? My first instinct is that it's a wolf based on the general shapes, but I don't wanna misinterpret!

My sona!

Well she's an extremely EXTREMELY old design that I've played with for about 7 years, but that does mean she's not the most thought out beast ever. Which is perfectly fine, because she's just me so all they have to be is funky.

She's weirdly wolf shaped, but is VERY much a dog and a TINY one. Like size of a water bottle dog. I guess that makes her a longer snouted sharp chihuahua if anything.

The only thing that is realistic or coherent is their pattern which is a generic dog pattern.

She's edgy and small and cute and in space. There's no way to interpret her wrong really. They are what you see! An oddly shaped beast.

“Okay, let me explain...

I was reading what you said about your sona (thanks for answering by the way!) and as I took a minute to comprehend it being "canonically" really small, I just thought it was a bit funny how I look up you you in a way — to the point I still get nervous to write to you directly like this — when I imagine you as that really small character. Even more so because my sona is a whitetail doe, and therefore I get this image of a deer getting all excited and nervous in front of an animal not even, like, 1/4 of its size. I don't know, I just thought it was a silly idea, juxtaposing how it feels to me to interact with you versus how it would look playing out in our sonas with such a drastic size difference, and I wanted to visualize it!

Oh, and because I'm in a drawing mood but need an idea, and animal characters are my specialty! I really hope I depicted your character alright!"

THIS IS A SUBMISSION!! Art and submission from the wonderful @amerricanartwork! I am so sorry I basically had to repost it, I'm just thankful Tumblr let me at least save the image, I had written an entire reply before the website broke and sent this wonderful message to the doom dimension. It keeps giving me errors.

Which is SUCH a shame, because I love this! So so much.

First of all I don't think you or anybody should be nervous of me oh my goodness. Your impression of me being big and scary just to realize I'm a 30 cm dog is hilarious and matches the vibe of my sonas design I won't lie haha. I'm genuinely just some little guy like I'm just some person online doing stuff for fun. That's definitely not someone anyone should be intimidated by ^^

This means so so much to me!! AUUGH I just lack the words, the fact you took time of your day to write and make art for me really does mean the world to me I always greatly treasure and save messages like these. I'm extremely flattered.
