Au Naturale

As Nature Intended.

Biweekly #51 Does your character have traditional dress from their homeland? Draw or write about your character in their traditional cultural fashion.

 

Luis Defou is, by nature, a deeply religious individual.

 

'Traditional', to Luis, can only be interperted in one way: theologically. Therefore, a dog's traditional wear would of course, by his collar and nothing else. As nature intended. Those feeling less inspired may use a white billowy cloth, but the intent remains. This was the case for all during the annual holy days (not always hygenic, but they were a national holidays afterall.) Luis was ...less inspired.

He wouldn't wear the collar. Not until his questions have been answered to his satisfaction.

 

Yet despite his differing beliefs with the preacher on almost every ideological front, Luis never missed a service in his hometown's church. And every service, without fail, Luis would come up to the preacher afterward to discuss that week's sermon, often for many hours over coffee or tea. To discuss antiquity as well as modern sympathies. Always first to arrive and the last to leave (much to his father's annoyance). It was a mutual respect, one that Luis misses to this day.

 

... It wasn't always like this, but it definitely won't be the same ever again.

Luis still hasn't attended a service since discovering the Paperverse.

Ever since his ... discovery. ... How could he face Father Borzoi again, after everything?

    I love the way you draw canines, especially your colouring/shading style! It beautifully creates a different fur texture for each dog- the line art too, all of the wrinkles and floofs, particularly the ones gracing Luis' father's scowl, very refined detail! BounceStar
