Walter
Added 2021-09-07 19:11:04 +0000 UTCA couple weeks ago I made a small announcement along the Minotaur Hotel 0.5 release: I've had a second comic in the works for a while, and now that the visual novel is on break, I have the time to make more progress on it and hopefully start posting soon (one or two months?).
The whole comic (35 pages) is roughly sketched already, so I'm moving on to lineart, and that means I have to cement the character designs... I figure this reference sheet works as a teaser of sorts.
Walter is the comic's protagonist. I'm trying to improve anatomy in general (especially arm joints, weight distribution and making poses more dynamic) so I picked a more lithe main character than usual as a good venue to practice that, and a plot that facilitates interesting body poses more than the melodrama of Boomer's Big Date. I originally wanted to make him a ram, but it seems a lot of furries don't want to give works that don't have canines of some sort any attention, and a lot of furries also don't know that hyenas are not canines, so here we are. (also, I prefer rams a little chonkier, a hyena fits the body type more, and between you and me, ram horns are kind of a pain in the ass to draw for some of the stuff I'll be having him do)
I'll be posting the deuteragonist next week. Hope you guys are excited for it!

2021-09-08 00:20:50 +0000 UTCI admit I was way older than I should have been before I learned hyenas are not canine. The problem is international too, considering the Beastars author put a hyena in the canine dorms in that manga/anime too. As for Walter, he's adorable!
