Description
I've been wanting to do this for years. And I'm glad I managed to finish part one of this.Yeah, I'll make one for the feline too.
Ok created this character in 2003. She wasn't something representing 'me' back then. I used to draw comics on notebooks back in middle school, she used to be named "Sparky" I think, I will need to look at the comics when I go home fff.
2003 - first design, if I may call it a design. Just a GSD mix mutt thing. Nothing special.
2004 - a silverwolf, I used to go online with the silverwolf name, but no real account or anything that remained with that name. I think it's what brought the 'silverdeni' later on. She used to appear in some of my notebooks.
2005 - Wolf/Dog mix, we may call it Dingo nowadays. The very first character that represents 'me'. Entered the Balto world with the silverwolf, but I wanted something that defines 'me' more. Her design looked like Balto, quite a lot. I added the fringe / spikes. And the blueish / teal eyes.
2006-2007 - same species, added the scarf on her. Eye patches disappeared. They did progressively until it stuck with the character. She used to be seen in most of my 'emotional' pictures, hence her expression.
late 2007-2009 - again, same, her colours are brighter, shortened the tail. She gets her first dogtag which is blue. And the striped socks. Always loved stripes.
2009-2010 - Abused the saturation tool in most finished pieces of this character. Liked the colours so I kept them for a while. Dogtag changed to grey as she was mated to Mushy.
2010-early 2011 - JAUNDICED. Abused the saturation tool more. Dropped the striped socks and added the stripes on her back instead. Spiked the fluff on her elbows, cheeks and 'mane'. Extended the tail. Blame Mushy for that XP
late 2011-today - final design, markings went from brown to very dark brown / almost black. Main coat is orange like a Dingo.
Not many changes xD but here's what I got, enjoy!

I always loved the 2007-2009 design, probably because it was when I first got into your art. lol - nostalgia.

it's really interesting to see how your character has grown! I'm new at making OCs (humanoid ones anyway), so I love to see how really good artists progress!

I think it's a german shepherd x3
I agree, it does still look very wolf like, and I've never been one for random stripes, and the ones on her makes her look like pikachu o.o

My two cents, dont get offended, please.
It such a shame how people much rather pick on faults or somewhat ridicule something, even if its done mildly or probably unintended rather than try to perceive what is the artist trying to express in that drawing.
This was not posted to show off my glorious skills (if I may call it like so) in drawing anatomy or to show how really bad I am at it. I personally dont understand you people and your obsession with anatomy. This isnt an anatomy class, its a picture of a fictional character, I didnt want to put anatomy on the spotlight, anatomy is difficult, yes which why its more fun to learn. Wouldnt it be super boring to draw perfectly all the time? Its alright to make mistakes, its a nice feeling to look back and see how much you've improved.
However, I wanted to express the moods I was goin through in every single characters representation. Hence the varied poses and expressions. But why do I even need to justify anything? I thought you already knew.
And I like stripes. And Im happy with the way my character looks.y So what?
People are entitled to their opinions yeah, and I respect that. But people dont have to turn dickish or upstuck just because someone else's tastes dont match their standards.
Also the first design doesnt even come close to a dingo, sweetie. And newsflash its also a subspecie of the canis lupus, hence why its called 'the wolf of Australia', too. Commonly known as wolf-dogs. Which is why my characters look 'wolfish'. Please do your research.

umads? I'm not butthurt, I was merely expressing my thoughts about people who genuinely complain about anatomy. And its not because I 'don't feel like giving it a proper anatomy' it's because I'm shit at anatomy and wording things out properly, and I know that very well.
Also, I didn't say dingoes are 100% wolves either? Nor they looks exactly like wolves.
What's the exact issue with the anatomy though? The head? The body structure? Entire thing altogether. What?
I avoid making her too slim by adding more fluff on her, some of the dingoes I've seen can be fluffy, idk just my thing I guess

No, I said it's a shame when people pick on anatomy on a picture where I tried to show a progress of the design (it's not grand I know), but mainly the different moods in each pose, like a different stages / phases in my life.
I didn't say anatomy hasn't an important role in a drawing, what I meant is it'd be cool if people would look at the meaning of an image too not just point fingers at the flaws.
Alright, thank you, I'll give it a shot after I'm done with a few projects 
Really sorry for comin' off all snarky at you hey.

First off, not that offended, just a tad annoyed. I wasnt the one who called the first one a dingo. And I dont know how I sounded dickish. I wasnt insulting your character or anything. Nor did I point out your anatomy. I just said your current sona looks more like a wolf than a dingo. Yes everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I get that, I was merely expressing mine, not insulting you in anyway.

It was aimed at both of you.

I always like seeing the progression of a character from one design to their culmination. I love this bit of artwork despite the simplicity of simply going from one end and evolving the character to the other end through the years.

I love seeing the progression of someone's character (anthro, feral, or otherwise). It's really great to get them all down in one piece to see how you've grown.
