Hullo! I'm feeling just a tad down in the dumps (math test. don't worry, it'll fade ), so I've decided to make today another upload day! YAY!!

Anyhow, this first one is an entry into a contest by , who wanted us to design a canid. It seems funny that every contest I enter involving such seems to involves an element, too XD. So, I made a fire coyote (who's a bit thick-bodied xp), since you don't see as many of them as you do wolves (that's rather ass-backwards in real life, but that's another discussion)

Of course, the info about the character is subject to change by the contest-holder, but she wanted us to give some background info anyhow. The following is the beta information I wrote about her (though I may have overdid it a little XD)

Spentfire, as her name might imply, is a fire-elemental coyote.

Possessing not only great agility and a mouthful of formidable teeth, she has pores in her skin near the hackles, feet, and tail that actually emit fire. When angered, this fire can raise to a hellish inferno along her back, neck, feet, and tail. Her fur, as well as the rest of her, is flame resistant. She can also exhale fire with the use of several flammable gasses her body can somehow produce. However, she dislikes using her firepower because it leaves her feeling unwell afterward. She can still feel the pain of the heat to some degree despite being resistant to it, and breathing fire makes her sinuses, mouth, and throat dry out very uncomfortably.

She is usually calm, but can’t seem to find much control of her actions when upset. She likes water, strangely, and left her home in the hot, dry deserts and steppes in search of it. She feels comforted by having water around because it literally cools down her abnormally high body temperature. However, Spentfire can be at a disadvantage when damp, because she cannot ignite her body fire until her fur is dry.
