Description Name: Zulaya (pronounced zoo-LIE-uh)
Gender: Female
Height at shoulder: 2 ft. 2 in.
Weight: 73 lbs.
Species: Winged Wolf
Main fur color: Black

Zulaya is rather solitary, a lone wolf, and likes to be alone. Zulaya does not belong to a pack, and has no desire to do so. She is type who likes to get things done by herself, with no outside help. While this can be a strength, it can also be a weakness as she will stubbornly refuse help even when it is clear help is needed. Zulaya is a smaller wolf; she has a very light body frame to help allow flight. What she lacks in physical strength she makes up for in agility. Zulaya is rather clever and cunning, and does not easily trust others.

-----

Zulaya is my original character, I've had her since March 2009. She is not my fursona, I simply take her guise while on the internets. As in, I call myself Zulaya, I draw myself as her, but she in no way reflects myself. (Well, maybe a bit. )

Hm. Since I've created her, she hasn't changed much. Just the wingtips, paw pads, the amount of spots, and personality. I needed to update her ref sheet because the old one was staring me in the face, screaming, "I'M UGLY! AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO POINT PEOPLE TO MY UGLINESS TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT ZULAYA LOOKS LIKE! MWAHAHA!"

I was trying something new here, I've been recently inspired by WhiteFoxCub 's style, it's gorgeous. I think this turned out pretty well, even though it started out as having a lineart and I had to compensate for removing that later. The one word I can think to describe it is...clean.

Hi could I copy Zulaya pictures on one page (I will not pretend to be his) Because Zulaya is wonderful wolf. It is beautifully painted and everything else

Thanks so much for the compliment!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but if it has anything to do with copying, the answer is going to be no. I won't have people copying, tracing, claiming, reposting, redistributing, ripping off, editing, etc. or using my artwork in any way unless I give them express permission or they commissioned it. Does that answer your question?

No ? Ok I do not mind but you might think that you do not want to steal but the truth behind the wolf will actually play. But never mind I do not care

Your english is a little hard to understand, I'm sorry. "You might think that you do not want to steal but the truth behind the wolf will actually play"? What does that mean?

It is basically an RPG game. Where we describe what the wolf does what she's saying. It's fun. And sorry for my English but I do not know her very well o3o

This character is proof that you don't need to draw a sparkleshit to have a
realistic wolf as an OC, and still have it stand out from the crowd.

The main thing I like about this character is that, while simple, you don't see too
many that have a good ref sheet or are thought out like this one. Black and white
is gorgeous, it's striking, goes with almost any color scheme, and it's overlooked.

This is an animal that could survive in the wild, and variations probably exist, (without
the wings,anyway) But I haven't seen one like this. Most people just have the boring
grey wolf colors, or they have it in eyerape colors x3 anyway, endrant x3

Wow, thanks so much! I've always had trouble with character design, and Zulaya is the only one I've ever managed to work out gracefully.

Thanks very much!

Basically, I use the lasso tool, lasso a small part of what I want to shade, and then on a different, semi-transparent layer, I use black and the gradient tool to shade. It's hard to explain, I actually did some of this on my livestream if you want a demonstration ---> [link] and [link]

Also, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 .
