And I do like them. EDIT2: I do wish they had a bit more Sylestia pizazz, like gems.. or runes.. or a small aura of sorts.. idk. Like the ryo has its aura and flying spheres, bulbs have gems, nixi have default runes...

Figured I'd quote this since my comment is about the first bit.


On the mention of the tails, perhaps the male's could be layered behind the Lupora's body, and the female's kept to the forefront? It would allow the genes to display on the body fully for one gender, while the other gets to highlight the tail. (As for why I suggested it that way, the female's tail covering the body seems more... feminine. Kind of coy and playful.)


I also think the female would look a little cuter if the mane at the top curved inward on the face a little more. It'd give a more cunning, spunky look. (And since his would be different and more standout with an alternate comparison, the male looks like he has a slicked-back hairstyle. Which I really like.)


* I am not an artist, and all I have is paint. :P

to me they seem a bit small, i like the sketches but to me they seem to be more proud. Still like the sketches though

Nice sketch!

A few things

The Muzzles are PERFECT The shape is very appealing and graceful not much work needed there.

The fur, not feeling it :/ sorry
It's much too fluffy in my opinion. The way it is in the sketch reminds me too much of Puffadore. (actually just about what I dislike about Puffadore. I like the length but maybe dropping the thickness a bit would be better.

The Puffadores are like Chawawas The Lupora need to be The German Shepard of The canine breeda. Not cute and fluffy but graceful and strong.

The necks should be longer and much more slimming. The thickness just takes up too much of the original appeal and makes them look too similar to Vulnyxes

Back to the tails: LOVELY but less fluff please :/

Also the Adult male seems a bit fat :/ the Adult female has a WONDERFUL underbelly and I hope you could make that more visible on the male by adjusting the tail placement. It blocks the rest of him too much.

The overall skeleton also seems a bit odd. The placement of the head in relation to the back pelvis seems way to close together verticalwise. The head should be above at line but a lot more istead of nearly equal with each other.


That's all for now might edit this later.

Ive always loved lupes but now they look so much better OwO the little hatchies are adorable.

Looking very cute so far! :D

I suggest looking more at actual animals, in this case, wolves, for reference to proportion for the Lupora. I think that the legs should be thicker/more muscular and longer, especially the paws (wolves have HUGE feet!) And please make sure to make it obvious that they have four toes instead of three. (I really like animal feets I think they're so cute so I'd like the Lupora feets to be nice and cute ahah :'D)

As for the manes, I think they're veeery cute and fluffy I'd love to cuddle up to my Lupora and get lost in its fur. Although, I don't know if its a good idea to have the tail covering up most of the hind legs. Part of the reason why I dislike the wings mutation on Luporas is because it covers up the body, and then I can't see my genes/markings, or other mutations on the body. I think that putting the tail a bit lower like how it is on the current Lupora, or even letting the tail curl behind the body like on the Zolnixi would be a better idea for better visibility of those beautiful genes.

Now, I can't saw I'm a fan of the expression of the male on that drawing. I like the current males much more, because the expression/stance seems more reserved and regal, like a lion king. This one just looks sheepish and scared, not really how I like to imagine Luporas. : ( I'd really like it if the male could hold his head up high like a proud Lupora, and look forward or look at the camera, with determination in his eyes rather than fear. The female looks quite good though, not much different from her current design, but I don't think that's a bad thing at all!

I wasn't gonna comment at first, but the more I look at it, the bodies kinda look strange on both of the Luporas. Their necks are too long, even on the current Lupora, and the torso just looks anatomically incorrect. They look more like llamas than canines. Here's a picture of a wolf I found that's in a similar pose to the luporas, minus the tilted head. By comparing them, I hope you can see my point about the anatomy, especially the neck. I'm really not trying to be over critical or mean to the artists or anything, so please don't take it that way! I'm just trying to help make the artwork more aesthetically pleasing for us all. <:)



As for the babies, they're suuuper cute! Although they kind of look like Puffadores... Maybe there's a link there? And the female looks a bit strange with her expression, but I'm sure that's something that'll get fixed in a more polished drawing. I love the giant ears and the giant paws, just cute puppies still growing into themselves!

And by the way, I REALLY REALLY like the ears so please don't change them!!

So much fluff! I love very puffy things (one of my cats is super fluffy) so it's right up my alley!

I think the male adult should have his head a little higher. and i agree that the legs on the adults should be longer and thicker. otherwise, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Agreed that the legs are a bit too short for the adults, especially the female.

Also agreed the tails would cover up the body and it might be better to move them behind.

The muzzle seems a bit too long and narrow compared to a wolf, and also when compared to the original artwork.

It doesn't seem like there's as much of a difference in males and females compared to other species. Eg. Male nixis look more muscular. Perhaps it is due to the floof. I would prefer if the male looks bigger or taller than the female.

Overall though, I love the fluffy mane and how dynamic it seems, especially on the female! It is already an improvement compared to the current artwork.

I love them, so fluffy!

Omg! They look awesome!

I have a few things:

Maybe the male should have almost like a mane sorta thing? Kind of like the strip of fur on the belly of a male lion?

The legs should be a little bit longer.

And maybe bigger ears? I always saw them to have big ears.

Oh, and maybe the tails could be even more fluffier??!!

Squee, i'm so excited!
