not super well known info but me and couple of friends have been working on a new ttrpg system, Worgs/wargs are one of the player race options so we decided instead of being just a giant wolf we should do something a bit different, namely giving them thumbs
worgs are still fully quadrapedal with bulky upper bodies, but now they can manipulate objects, open door,s and write. the heads meanwhile are based on leopard seals to step further away from wolves and use an equally more terrifying creature.
in full we've look at gorillas, wolves, hyenas, leopard seals, bears, and lions to inspire their full design

this is also an experimental piece art wise for me as after doing some research i realized i was merely 1 step away from going lineless and started rendering. considering how much i hate making lineart it felt like a good idea. while i dont think using a furred creature was a great idea i honestly really like how this came out, this was also my first attempt at tackling bounce lighting
