Ardashir by Dustmeat

Drawn for me quite some time ago by , this is among the first pictures of my wolf-guy Ardashir that I still have. This is the first version of him, back when he was solely a heroic fantasy character, set in a sort of pre-Islamic Persia and Central Asia. He was/is a asvaran armored cavalryman, er, wolf, and the armor he's got on is a mix of mail reinforced by laminated armor along the arms and legs. And the horse is his warhorse Rakush, probably one of the very few friends the young wolf has at that time in his life. This might even be before he got that hand-shaped scar burned into his chest by Viraska the Kayanian sorcerer. I did write some stories involving this guy but the ideas ultimately petered out. Still, I try something with him now and then.

So this is the original Ardashir. Later on I kinda developed a second version of him, one that is more foolish and who does things like get stuck inside femmesuits or try romancing the wrong woman (think cartoon and slapstick romantic complications). Much of the later art of him also got rather steamier, as seen here where Ardashir meets an old friend who got into TV acting and they, ahem, renew their friendship: fav.me/d5j5y85

If you're reading this , I still love this art.
