Commenting to say I genuinely adore the wolf and hound designs! They're at the very top of my personal wishlist, and I look forward to whenever you are able to offer US shipping in the future.

Title Text: The Serpent as Protector, or the Desperation of Wild Beasts. Main Text: Execution art for my character Zinoviy, who was found guilty as the culprit of the first murder case in the Danganronpa roleplay I'm playing him in. In his execution, he is transformed into the Russian dragon Zmei Gorynych, and has to defend a medieval village from wolves. In the course of his rampage, he ends up killing all the villagers as well, having lost his human rationality. In the end, he is slain by a bogatyr, the archetypal knight-errant of Slavic legends. I went for a very different style than the typical Danganronpa execution, instead going for a composition that takes influence from Ivan Bilibin's classic illustrations of Russian folk tales. By happenstance, Bilibin was also a costume designer for the Ballets Russes, which is very fitting, since Zinoviy is a ballet dancer. The draconic motifs have been part of Zinoviy's concept from the very beginning—his human design wears earrings shaped like the feathered ears of Bilibin's interpretation of Zmei Gorynych, and his dog design has similarly feathered ears and patches of silver brindle fur that resemble scales.

Full text write-up from my tumblr
Extinct dogsona time!! Their name is Ermyne and they're a turnspit dog from 15th century England (late medieval to early Tudor period). A lowly animal with crooked legs and a morose personality, who has been reared from puppyhood on a wholesome and fortifying diet of tallow greaves and barley-meal. It's hard to say whether they've eaten a single scrap of meat in their life. They're one of several kitchen dogs kept by an urban tavern, all of whom take turns running in a dog wheel to turn roasting meat over a roaring fire, and their fur is sometimes singed from having hot coals thrown at them when they slack off. On Sundays, the cook takes them to church to use them as a foot-warmer. Ermyne loves going to church, it's enrichment for them! Needless to say, Ermyne is my realsona, and their life is completely indistinguishable from my life
