increible, de los trabajos que mas admire de tu galería fueron estas series de carnivoros, simplemente te quedaron estupendos (esto debí haberlo comentado hace años)

Could this have been where the evolutionary line branched to dogs or bears?

Nope. Hemicyon was a species of true bear, as it is a member of the family Ursidae. It is a representative if the primitive bear subfamily Hemicyoninae, otherwise known as "dog-bears". You must be thinking of bear-dogs, or Amphicyonids.

My Native American name happens to be "Bear Wolf". Maybe this is what the crow meant (had dream/vision where was assigned to me by a crow).
I have Cherokee and Choctaw ancestry.

Cool! Both are really powerful and amazing animals, and once they shared a common ancestry, plus a close relatives which had intermediate physic characteristics (the once living Amphicyonids). This bear-wolves had to be really impressive.

One interesting thing is that when I looked into the bear-wolf legends; it's discribed as having the head of a bear, the body of a wolf, and the feathers of a brown crow on its forelimbs. I drew my own version of it, but I still have to scan it.

It would be really cool that the legend would be based on recent survivors of the extinct Amphycionidae... maybe they had something like a lion's mane or peculiar long hair in the arms which can resemble feathers of a wing... it's a nice speculation to add in a restoration ^^

I think it would look cool. Maybe you could draw one for the legend and one for the speculation.

Hmmm....I'd like to see a baby version of that, would be cute ^_^ That's what you need to do....infants

^^ I don't discard that option. I think there are some evidence of Amphicyon cubs, so it would be interesting to try restoring them. Also Hemicyon cubs wouldn't be very different...

Smaller, probally cuter. Since they wouldn't be that much different, maybe a different pose? Curled up sleeping or something ^_^

guau, que extraño! como siempre, el detalle del pelaje es excelente! no se nada de este animal, pero me llama la atencion que tenga las patas asi... parecen muy delgadas! y el hocico tambien es extraño... aunque supongo que debe ser porque espero encontrar alli el hocico de un perro y en realidad era un oso...
preciosa reconstruccion!!
Los pelos los haces de a uno por uno??? que paciencia!!!!!!!

gracias! los pelos, si... uno a uno, como siempre... es tedioso, pero por ahora no encuentro una solución mejor, y luego el resultado me gusta ^^
Las patas según tengo entendido se parecían a las de las hienas, y aunque delgadas, creo que aguantarían una carrerita, jejejeje
