Mace Direwolf 5.0 WIP: Colab with Ila Mae

Mace has come a long way! It's not quite there yet, but I'm pretty certain that I'll be making this design his "official" look when I put my characters in their own comic and that's pretty exciting!

EDIT 10/23/14: I added a background that I threw together with using some textures and today, I gave Mace his more stout body type (as opposed to being lanky) and cobalt blue eyes back. It's definitely an improvement. Next, I need to figure out how to give his arms some more muscle to make his arms look, well, better.


VERSION 3.5: Profile (2008-2012): Mace Direwolf the Anti-Mobian

VERSION 4.0: If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!

Personality: Similar to many of both sides of male kin his age, Fire-Heart (or more commonly known as Mace) is aggressive and hot-headed, though he doesn't show it much. Being generally thick-skinned, he maintains a high tolerance. Mace's is quite withdrawn and skeptical when in the presence of someone he dislikes or doesn't know well. Unless you've earned his trust, it's almost impossible to make him a friend. Mace will only give his trust to those who earn it from him. His trust is hard-earned, but once it is earned, he become much more open, with his loyalty steadfast and unwavering. (Unless they prove themselves otherwise).

 Mace's morality is sound and he holds firm to his honor, believing it is of utmost importance. Mace is completely loyal to his beliefs, and follows his own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully. Mace also has a strong sense of justice. Should he catch sight of someone unfairly matched, or being brutally wounded, he'll most likely intervene. A bit of a loner at times, Mace tends to be predominantly quiet and reserved in public, but he'll show his true thoughts and personality when he's alone with friends. He does have a short temper if someone tries to ‘push his buttons’, so you have to be careful when dealing with him. Provoking him ruthlessly or rubbing him the wrong way will only lead to one thing; all Hell breaking loose if he reaches his boiling point. If Mace gets angry enough, it could cloud his normally sound judgment as does the presence of anyone he hates. Mace's aggressive personality can also bring this about, but it seldom happens, and it doesn't last long, because for the most part he's quite level-headed. Even though Mace is (for the majority) only outright hating toward those considered scum, like most of his Echidnian kin, can downright hostile towards their natural enemies; the Dingoes. Mace's personal grudge against the Dingoes originates from a young age when he was an infant separated from his family by a Dingo Raid on his home. He assumes his family were also killed by those same Dingoes. However, as he grew up, he learned to let that bitterness go and was much better for it.

Underneath his rough exterior, he's a very caring, fun-loving and an all-around nice guy who wants nothing more than to be with the ones he cares most about and find enjoyment in life. His kind-hearted disposition is the most evident when he risks his life for the sake of others in need. Furthermore, it’s also evident when he cares for or plays with his adopted twin daughters, Jenna and Lianna; A pair of 4-year-old twin foxes he adopted when he found them ragged and starving to death in a Mobian jungle. From choosing to don the role of a father at an early age, he's somewhat overprotective of his adopted daughters, and seldom lets them leave his gang's home base, even when under supervision.

This colab was started several months ago by my good friend :devIlaMae: and myself in an effort to redesign my main character of my hopefully someday to be online graphic novel, "Prowlers For Hire", which takes place in the Archie's Sonic Comic Universe based upon the cartoon and games archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/The… which was conceived as a fan-expansion that I've been working on creating as a hobby since 2008. I hope we can find time to finish this together, or for me to finish it myself, but the odds are against us. Once it's done, I hope to put it in a character profile format and add his revised character bio.

I hope you enjoy our progress so far!
