Chardy design concepts (Patreon)

Here is my process of figuring out how Chardy, the protagonist, will look like not too sure if he have one design or a flexible design. I'm leaning to a more flexible design.

He was originally of a wolf species mixed with some feline, but now he's a Dire wolf mixed with feline! What's the difference? Dire wolves are a little under twice the size of modern wolves, so he's now 7'10"!
