Description
An attempt from last night at a modern-looking character design. He was originally going to be some sort of wolf guy holding a sword, but I realized I’ve been drawing way too many pictures of characters holding weapons, so I switched things up. I’m glad I did! Shoutouts to a friend of mine for encouraging me to draw longer legs.Related content

he's the wolf-of-few-words who doesn't take any crap.
suggestion: you might also be able to pull off long legs as well if you draw digitigrade legs, like one of the thumbnails of yours i'm looking at, but a bit longer. i've seen it done before to give a character a more "animalistic feel" (not sure if that is what those artists were going for or not, or what you're going after) while still retaining that full "anthro feel."
just my $.02

I should definitely try that sometime yeah. The main issue is some people definitely go overboard with it, and give them weird proportions, like ankle-to-feet length being almost as long as the thigh. I'd have to be careful of that!

to revisit this, again, i have to say that with your other drawings of the legs not being as long as this wolf here, the proportions look more realistic, more believable. like the animal just decided one day to walk on two legs, instead of it looking like a human that is wearing a fur costume. even here the legs look believable.
i can't believe i'm still trying to talk like i know anything.

i have also seen that as well. moderation is key. an artist i feel that has executed this well be David Lillie, or Dreamkeepers as he and his wife go by here on DA. however, it might not suit your personal style.
again, just my $.02.

If you can't walk the walk - RUN!

Start running and never stop until you're absolutely certain he's decided you're not worth pursuing!

...He can still have like a crowbar... Or a length of lead pipe right? :3
I really like his design, he's like... A suave badass, like you wouldn't be surprised to see him at the end of an alleyway with a crowbar, but he also wouldn't look out of place at a swanky bar

Those would have both worked! Good suggestions!

They probably have something figured out to permanently change fur pigment. The main trouble I think would be making the tattoos nice and sharp. I wonder if the fur would blur them too much for intricate designs.

I actually have noticed the thing about the legs! Figured it was just a style thing, because when you draw shorter legs it usually looks more animalistic, if you know what I mean. I really think you did a good job with longer legs! They look a lot more anthro. Nice job!

Yep! I tend to draw shorter legs for characters I want to feel more animal, since in reality animal legs are shorter than their bodies. I just, by force of habit, forgot to give this guy longer legs with his more human body,.

Shorter legs certainly do feem more animalistic than going for something more closer to a human physiche-wise.

Hehe, I'm imagining now some sort of dark and edgy Three Little Pigs story, with this guy being the wolf. It's probably been done though. X)

Well, this isn't a "dark and gritty" redo, but it's still an interesting take!
Inspector Wolf The old lady was dead. I could smell it before I even got into the house. The whole place reeked of adrenaline, sweat, fear, copper and steel. He’d dropped her right in her living room. Chopped and chopped until she stopped moving. But I could tell I was getting close. This had been done in a hurry, and the killer didn’t have the time to clean up after himself like he usually did.
Across the room, the phone rang. The shrill sound set my teeth to grinding, but I ignored it. Instead I followed the killer’s bloody footprints into the back bedroom. He’d climbed out the window. If I hurried, I could catch up to him and end this disgusting spree he was on.
Then the answering machine kicked in. “Hi, Gramma! It’s Red. Sorry I’m running late. I kind of lost track of time. But don’t worry. I packed the picnic and I’m heading out the door right now. Love you.”
She’d been expec
