Fourth doggo in the series!
This time the character is Al’s lovely vampire Fire Emblem OC, Veles.
For Veles, going off his lore and general appearance, I knew I wanted to make him some type of wolf-dog, or a very primitive-looking dog. Not so much in markings and pelt colors as anatomy and body structure. But I also wanted to keep in mind Veles’ generally slim and muscular build, so a dog that was overly bulky and stocky just wouldn’t have cut it. So rather than base him off several breeds of dogs, I based him almost exclusively off of the Czechoslovakian wolfdog, which, despite its name, isn’t actually a wolf hybrid. But I do believe they have had real European wolves in their bloodline at one point during their development. Or I might be mixing them up with the Saarlos wolfdog. I really can’t be bothered to check-
For the pelt, I chose to go with a wolf sable coloration and diluted tan points on his legs, and a pretty black mask on his muzzle. At first I thought about just giving him a silver foxish kind of look, but I thought that would be too boring? And since I kind of wanted him to look wolf-ish in color too, I thought why not. Although his particular colors and markings aren’t all that wolfish. I also gave him a horribly disguised bat-looking marking on his chest, and I don’t regret a thing because he is a vampire so it was mandatory.
Overall, I really like how this one came out. From the angle I drew him in, he kind of looks more like a Belgian malinois or a very lightly built gsd, but e h. I like his colors, I think he’s a handsome boy. Oh, and he’s wearing a basic martingale collar, with a golden chain and Veles’ amulet attached to it.
I hope you like it!
