My gift to the world 🤝

my first time actually drawing a non-humanoid like this but, anything for the One True Goddess The First Under the Sky The Mirror of Knowledge The Voice in the Darkness The Savior of the Faithful

Her Majesty, Viira Lehtola

Hounds of Men is supposed to be darker and less cartoony than my other projects

that being said

Viira is the protagonist of Hounds of Men, cause that’s still a thing I’m doing

She’s a Hound whose known for curing her targets whenever possible rather than exterminating them, usually only killing fully progressed feral werewolves, and even then she tries to do it as quickly and painlessly as possible. However, her limits are tested as she gradually encounters more and more beast-folk and even fullbloods, who, despite being fully sapient, are beyond reasoning with and gladly spill blood for their own satisfaction and to further their abilities.

Her hair changes from black to white when transforming, which is uncommon but not unheard of, often a symptom of stress and repressed emotions that try to unleash themselves while in wolf form (which she must repress even further due to her moral standards).

She often comes off as being rather aloof and distant, though she is still ultimately motivated by her desire to protect others and by her sympathy for innocent lycanthropes turned feral.
