Back in 1999, I remember this was a doodle on my notes in college, but I can't find the original. I believe I was taking a class on graphic design at this time, so I was learning Quark and Illustrator as well. I was continuing my playing around in Photoshop and discovering the smudge tool, but I still didn't know how to draw wolf muzzles either.
I didn't have a name for my fursona yet, but this little guy was a wolf-alien named Spacewolf or Spotswolf, and something was beginning to take form in my conscious. His fur was more like a feather boa around his neck, and he wore my thrift store corduroy coat. I adore fangs, so he's got a lil' one pokin' out. ^__^
