Here's something a little different this time, as per request by my friend

So, anyone remember the FIFA World Cup in 2018, the one held in Russia? Well, you might recognize the main mascot of the tournament: The Wolf, or as he's been officially named Zabivaka (Забива́ка), which means "The One Who Scores." A very fitting name for a wolf who plays soccer, I gotta say. Now, I do like Zabivaka in general, which I might be biased because of my stated favor of wolves, but something about him and the way he came about just speaks to me; him and the other mascot contenders. And the idea came to draw him here. Don't worry, my depictions of him are perfectly safe for work, I promise.

Now then, two ideas were posed to how to adapt my interpretation of Zabivaka in terms of styles, and I couldn't decide which one I wanted to do more, so I did them both in one drawing, which is what you're seeing now. On the left is Zabivaka as how I imagine him if he were a Mobian wolf in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe (I really haven't been doing all that much in terms of Sonic related stuff), and I think he decently well. On the right is Zabivaka as I picture him appearing in my own series, Foxtrot: Foxes in Arms, but not as a typical anthropomorphic wolf but a living biomechanical android wolf instead. I do think he looks pretty good like that, and I could go into my headcanon for Zabivaka, but I'd need to think about it more at this time. In any case, I think Zabivaka looks good in both styles, and I did try my best to defer the two as much as possible to make them unique, and I think I did pretty well.

Once again, this was requested by after another idea was scrapped in favor of this one. I do hope you like this, buddy!
