Daemon Rider

Contest Entry for 's contest.

I suppose I should explain (mainly for new people's benefit) why there is a person riding on a beast that explicitly hates humans and attacks anything pretty much on sight.

Well, that is because of the simple relationship between the Daemon Hound and Shadow (the guy) on a biological and genetic level.

Shadow, being a Wolvine, is a Canine King. As such, all canines automatically and instinctively treat him as their Clan and/or Pack Leader (save Cerberus when outside a Realm...but he's an oddball of the Canine family anyway...). This is why the Hound doesn't rip him apart and, in fact, looks quite content to have him sitting on his back.

Why does he look like a human then? Two reasons:
1: if you check his bio (like...page 1 of my gallery) you'll see he can morph. the Canine dominance remains no matter what form he takes.
2: i spent about 4-5 hours on this pic as it is. I can't be bothered doing Shadow's Wolvine form XD

On another note, I hope I got the scaling right, as I found no evidence otherwise. I may also find little flaws and such between now and the deadline, so I'd ask Cyberraptor not to actually judge my pic until then as I may update minor details and whatnot.
