Description

UPDATED FOR 2019~
Iv been wanting to change my sona's coloration for quite some time. The old design was a little too plain maybe even a little juvenile for my style now. Her markings are now optional because I only sometimes feel like drawing them heheh. Now i need to renovate her pure wolf form to match some of the markings here.

No anatomy changes though!


Also this time I made her a flatcolor reference because I didn't realize what a sin her old one was... OOPS xD


Holly's Wolfbear aspects
~ Can howl like a wolf, deep sounding
~ Can snarl/growl like a wolf usually broken with bear barks/huffs
~ Dosn't have a grizzly's floppy bear lip
~ Can't bare her teeth to the extent of a wolf, lips can pull up to show the tips of her top canines but she dosn't have the muscles in her face to fully snarl.
~ Can stand on her back legs like a bear, though not for as long/not as balanced when moving. Almost 8ft standing.
~ Can Wag her tail & express canine body language with it.
~ Has a full coat year 'round
~ Doesn't hibernate much to her displeasure

This character literally represents me, she is not a separate entity or have her own separate persona. For that reason I would appreciate if you did not make creepy or overly personal comments/roleplay on art of her. Thankyou! 


If you have any other questions feel free to ask! ^^

No sorry this character represents me and that would be extremely uncomfortable...

I know! I tried very hard to make her unique from other wolfbears that exist and I have designed later. Take a look in my gallery at all the wolfbears & their varying anatomy combos for ideas~ I'd just prefer you didn't copy Holly's anatomy exactly, more wolfbears are always welcome though

Bear-hybrid In reply to Aristotrash [2018-05-20 13:59:28 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind if you use it as a reference if you don't make her exactly the same (in every way) as Holly

Or... practice. I didn't know how to draw bears either then I just started trying.

Reminds me of the Hemicyon, a prehistoric carnivorous mammal that was related to bears, but looked like a cross between a bear and a wolf. Were you, per chance, inspired by it?

Bear-hybrid In reply to ElSqiubbonator [2017-08-01 14:39:08 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes I do know of Hemicyon and other Amphicyonidae types  
They were not my inspiration though nom iv never been much of a prehistoric buff.
I simply had a bear character and wolf character representing myself separately that I wished to smash together into one x3

Did do this skeletal exploration too if you're interested:
