Day 9 Dogtober - FREE Koromaru (Persona) Pattern

 

I have never played any Persona games but one of my earlier freehand projects was this guy as a gift for a friend. I thought I'd give him another go so he was added to my Dogtober list. He follows a similar base pattern to many of my other dogs there are photos regarding the base pattern on the Palamute pattern that you can check out.
