Nero

Ref sheet sketch lines are only blue because it's not done! they are supposed to be black.

The best reference for his spots and antlers is the image of Nero cuddling with a brown coyote/husky mix. 

Any art except for his ref sheet is a great reference for his personality/vibes.

Colors can be picked from the palette on his reference sheet (except for the white spots since those look too grey on the ref sheet) or from the image of Nero sharing a milkshake with a brown husky/coyote mix.

Better shades of white for the spots:

• #e9e9e9
• #c3d4bd
• off-white, tinted either cream, mint green, or true greyscale
  • basically just really light grey or white

Personality for artists: 

Nero is gentle and quiet. He enjoys spending time in nature or with his closest friends. He's a little shy, but he is kind and caring.

Info on his shape:

• Body and head (except for tail and ears) should be the shape of a maned wolf. Legs are allowed to be a bit shorter, it's up to the artist.
• Ear shape is most similar to a german shepherd or a husky.
• Tail is very long, the ref sheet is still a good reference for that.
• Antlers should be any of these, with my first preferences towards the top (This is different from what it says on his ref sheet!):
  • Northern elk (NOT moose)
  • Red deer
  • White-tailed deer
  • Chital deer
  • Short, straight or slightly curved goat horns (example: beetal goats)
• Spots:
  • White-tailed deer fawn
  • Chital deer
  • Fallow deer
