Another anthro set, featuring Gulzar and Zinoviy!! It kills me how short both of these guys are in their human/anthro forms (5’2” and 5'4" respectively) despite being sighthound mixes. Neither of them consider themselves particularly fashionable, but I'm their mun and I would contract a disease if I ever made a genuinely plain-looking OC.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓, 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒔 •───────•°•❀•°•───────• Execution art for my character Zinoviy, who was found guilty as the culprit of the first murder case in the Danganronpa roleplay I'm playing him in. In his execution, he is transformed into the Russian dragon Zmei Gorynych, and has to defend a medieval village from wolves. In the course of his rampage, he ends up killing all the villagers as well, having lost his human rationality. In the end, he is slain by a bogatyr, the archetypal knight-errant of Slavic legends. I went for a very different style than the typical Danganronpa execution, instead going for a composition that takes influence from Ivan Bilibin's classic illustrations of Russian folk tales. By happenstance, Bilibin was also a costume designer for the Ballets Russes, which is very fitting, since Zinoviy is a ballet dancer. The draconic motifs have been part of Zinoviy's concept from the very beginning—his human design wears earrings shaped like the feathered ears of Bilibin's interpretation of Zmei Gorynych, and his dog design has similarly feathered ears and patches of silver brindle fur that resemble scales.

Zinoviy Golubov, a borzoi-laika mix from Krasnoyarsk, Russia, who performs as a character soloist for a prominent classical ballet company. He has a fiercely individualistic worldview, and holds himself and everyone else around him to impossibly high standards.

Zinoviy: No, this is doodle little cat made of you. Poliwhirl: *looks at drawing* Yeah, that's me, all right! Thanks, Zinoviy. Zinoviy: No problem...comrade. Poliwhirl: Did you say I'm rad? Zinoviy: ...sure.
