Description Tweaked a few things on my ref, added some more prairie wildflowers for extra Great Plains zest, and made this version with a few design notes.  Kiso is a very skinny, scrappy creature... because I am.   A lot of the design notes apply to me irl, haha. 

Here's my written description from the other ref:

Name: Kisota (often just called Kiso)

Species: Coyote (one of the larger prairie/woodland subspecies – eg, plains, mountain, eastern.)

Physical traits / Design notes:

Face: Large, expressive, vibrantly amber-gold eyes with greenish limbal rings. Average coyote features (not too exaggerated like a desert coyote or something). If you want some top canines showing, that’s cool! I dig the snaggle fangs.

Build: Shallow chest, long legs, scrawny and scrappy – note the slightly visible ribs.  Small and wiry. Overall a messy, lanky trashdog.  Not your buff, majestic calendar creature.

Fur is grizzled / dark-ticked silver.  Pretty normal coyote agouti, but heavily on the grey side with fairly rich markings.

I’m okay with people playing with the design a little for fun – add some scars on the face and paws, take some fur chunks out, tatter the ears a bit, it’s all good.

 Typical expression - Cheerful, playful, mischievous, sarcastic, tricksy, laughing little dork! I want drawing Kiso to be fun.  Think bones, dead stuff, wide open spaces. 

Please respect my art; this is my personal avatar and not for other people to use.  Thanks!
