This male wears an Aztec-inspired feather warrior headdress, with the emblem of a sun on the side. Around his tail is wrapped a golden chain, on which is an extra feather from his headdress, as well as a glowing dish with a sun design carved into it.
Those details were finished first. I debated for a long time making him brown - for a long time I was playing around with brown and tan shades for this character. But I couldn't shake the feeling that the puppies between him and Electric (if this entry won and you decided to breed them) wouldn't look very unique with her markings and colors and a brown mate. I decided to make him more colorful. Actually, I ended up making his design based off a queztal (a bird sacred to the Aztecs - you can see quetzal feathers in his headdress up front). I figured that these colors and markings would go better with your girl Electric.
I hope you agree! I put a lot of work into this, and I really want to win
