• Description

  This odd breed of canine sports a variety of colors making up the hue of his fur, most of which being a light cobalt, with undersides of cloudy white, and swirls of black stripe-esque markings in the mix. The creature had some features not often seen on a typical quadrupedal wolf, such as an elongated head, having slight nostrils in place of a conventional nose, and longer back-swept ears, the more prominent aspects being lightly furred bat-like wings jutting from his back, along with a tail not quite suited to a wolf, being long and ending in a point. The male's most intriguing feature would probably be the shards of pure black glass that sprout from his form, which were actually shards of ice from a region known only as Ocanthus, and as such, they were extremely cold to the touch, not to mention fairly sharp; they didn't so much grow from his skin, but deeper within at the bone, while sometimes appearing either very small or not at all, though not without consequences.

• Specifications of Character

  Reference picture is a good starter, has the shape and length ratio for limbs
  
  Tail doesn't end in a floof.
  
  Chest fur directly underneath shoulders and most of ribs - 3 1/2"
  
  Fur everywhere else - 1 3/4"
  
  Color of fur - Barring minor details, and a darker shade of blue, the reference picture is oddly close to what I have down.
  
  Wings - Bone work that of your average bat, membrane on the inner side, the outer being covered in 3/4" fur. Sports two alar thumbs. Wingspan the length of head to flank.
  
  Claws upon paws - Same number of toes, claws are smaller and much more dull - almost rounded.
  
  Onyx rune markings - mainly keep to the ref, though the more rounded bits do not exist
  
  Obsidian Spikes (can remain hidden within his body, but not indefinitely): Series of four small 1/2" hornlets set into his brows. A set of the same can be found surrounding the base of his ears, though at 3/4". Shoulders sport a set of three, the one in the middle reaching 4" long, while the outer two splay outward slightly at 3 1/3" long, thickness about 1 1/2". From where the black fur ridge ends at his back, a line of small spikes reach to the end of his tail. His elbows sport a similar set as his shoulder, but half the size at only two at 2" long and half that as thick. The base of his tail has four spines, all facing outward towards his tail on his flanks, 2 1/3" long. Runes skitter along the shards at times, crystalline clear, translated to the element of ice.

  I don't know the name of the artist. If anyone that sees this knows, I'd love to share in that experience.
