Constellations 04 - Canes Venatici, The Hunting Dogs (Patreon)

When i saw hunting dogs Scotsmen came to mind almost instantaneously. I wanted to follow that whim, as I've been trying to get more in touch with my intuition!

My initial direction with the hair was a very Celtic approach. Hair flowing in the wind, lots of braids! Though... i really wanted to make him look like a dog, and not a Celtic warrior. And the scruffier it got, the more he looked like one.......... In the end i made a mullet as joke and it fitted him so well??? So in the end i made a bizarre mash up of both concepts but i'm honestly glad with it!

 For the costume i wanted to put a kilt OBVIOUSLY. It has more formal wear approach these days it seems, and i went with a tux.  

 However... Lyra already kinda had those shapes?! I tried putting in a bit more research and came up with a more soldier, adventure oriented design. 

Also a collar and pup gear gloves! I really wanted to make him doggish!!!

 This constellation has three bodies, but they all share a mind! They are a synergistic pack!

 They are meant to be item finders, so i wanted to focus on the sniffing aspect of dogs!

 I attached the lineart for the both summoned and stasis version!
