Yall ever heard of Dungeon Dogs? No? Well now you have.
It is a silly mobile game that I have been following for years atp. Back in 2021 I joined a "Design-a-dog" competition where I submitted this goober. His name is Loreal, and he's a malti-pom with terrier features who is based on my dog, Loki. He is a dog who isn't able to express emotions until he meets his companion phoenix, Spitz, who helps him communicate with others and makes emoting ever so slightly easier. He is probably aroace and on the spectrum (and selectively mute), but I don't really own him anymore so take my words as a grain of salt.
I tried to replicate the style of the game for this piece, and I think I did pretty darn well. I am very proud of the result.
