Why I need the Species Drawn
I use a laptop and or my Phone and am unable to get quality clean line art and I just in general lack the skill I have had the Idea for this species a while back but wasn't able to draw it truly so I decided to get the species drawn in a contest and I hope I can get it and start making adoptables

About The Species
Anatomy/Looks
Zodiac Hounds are canines with a slender fox build but are very wolf like in features but although they are slender they are like really fluffy.They have longer legs and stand at about 5 foot at ear tip.They have spines on the back of their hind legs,and have pronged horns about an inch or two tall.The males have large,pointed fox-like ears and the females have curved smaller lion/cat-like ears. They have a 'third eye' on their forehead this can be any color depending on their zodiac and power at birth they are given a matching necklace if it is lost they no longer have any powers and their 'third eye' dulls. They have long fluffy Wolf-like tails with a feather in it symbolizing what Tribe they are in the feather will be a different color for each tribe.They have wolf like eyes with cat like slits for pupils,they are nocturnal and their eyes glow when at their most powerful.They have unique paw pads and sharp claws that can be sheathed (like a cat). They have a medium length muzzle that is somewhat slender.Their tongues are medium length and cat like meaning that they are rough and barbed they have sharp fangs and a small fork in their tongue. They normally live in cold climates and have thick fluffy fur.Zodiac Hounds also have a set of Gills behind their cheek fur to help them breath under water to get fish. They can be any color for the most part but normally have a natural color for their fur base (White,Grey/all shades/Black,Brown/all shades/) but have colorful markings or natural markings it really depends. Although the one thing that Makes a Zodiac Hound is the marking that shows their zodiac it can be almost anywhere but is mostly located on its shoulder or hind legs but some can be found anywhere.http://image.shutterstock.com/display_p ... 051858.jpg -Zodiac Symbols.Their tongues also are the color of their 'third eye'.
Habits/How they work
Zodiac Hounds are nocturnal and tend to sleep during the day because their eyes cant function in bright light and tend to bump into things,If they need to be out during the day they use their 'third eye' that helps them navigate around obstacles.They make barking,yipping,dog noises. They howl and can also purr and chirp. Normally They live in Mountains or in dens but they always live near a water source,they can live in tropics but it is rare. Their main food source is Fish and Birds but they will eat mostly any sort of meat,their saliva is acidic/venomous to any creatures accept for other Zodiac hounds,so if they bite a animal it will be stunned or with time die they also coat their claws and leg barbs by licking them to help with prey or larger predators.They don't mind humans but tend to stay away from them.They all have powers based off of the color of their 'third eye' but need to have their necklace for the powers to be awake,if the necklace is lost no powers and it looses its usage if needed in the day time.Zodiac Hounds are fast and live in packs otherwise known as tribes and will find mates in the winter,eventually finding a forever mate and until death will only mate with that one Hound if the Hound dies they rarely find new mates.
Breeding/The Younger Years and Age
Zodiac Hounds mate in the fall and are pregnant for about 4 weeks.While in heat a females 'Third eye' will glow whenever around a suitable mate is near by,after finding a soul mate .A litter of pups ranges from about 2 to 4 pups in rare occasions 1 or 6.When born they do not have horns or spines and have short fur and their gills show and are for the most part blind so they use their 'Third Eye' their is also no shown difference of gender.After a few months of age they have longer fur and can see their fur covers their gills,and you can see the difference in their ears,their horns start to develop and spines start growing they start getting aggravated and ill mannered.At 1 Year of age they are fully developed and earn their feather but are not able to mate till 4 years of age.They can live to be 120 years old a Tribe alpha is normally 50 years to 100 years of age at 101 a Zodiac wolf will become a elder.
