This is my second of three entries for :iconskulldog:'s contest! This is the last one that will be in this format as my last entry will be a reference sheet. Again, the point of the contest ws simply to design our own skull dog... or in my case, five of them. ^^;

Right, so this doggie's name is Charger, or Char for short. He gets his name from the fact that I designed him with a boar in mind... namely a boar's ability to perform sweet charge attacks and body slams. :) I wanted to do a dog with an abnormal skull for its head, so I went with this guy because I liked the big tusks. And now for the info!

Charger is the overall biggest member of my skull dog pack, even if Howe is technically the tallest. He is about the size of a small pony and weighs about the same. Charger is the brute force of the pack, but not the leader. He is often employed whenever the pack is under attack or simply has some hard physical labor to take care of. However, when times are peaceful, Charger is actually a gentle giant. He is very cautious not to damage any of the plants or habitats that he passes through as he is something of a nature lover. Other animals consider him as a sort of guardian of the woods.

This is a beautiful illustration, it really is. The use of colors and then the subtle corruption of an existing anatomy, it looks wonderful!

Well thank you! ^^ I'm glad you like! What do you mean by corrupting the existing anatomy though? I'm not sure which part of the pic you're meaning? oO

Well I mean you obviously understand a dog's anatomy enough to tweak it a little bit. Like on the skull, you shaped it to your whims, and the rest of it you were able to simply stylize. It's well done. :)

Oh well thank you! ^^ Yeah, sorry I wasn't quite sure if you were reffering to a specific part of the dog, or just the whole pic in general. But I'm glad you like my stylization. :)
