black white and red

doodles of my ocs percival the skunk, his boyfriend martín the draft zorse; buck/matthew the dalmatian, and tonnie/tonia the badger! i drew percy for national skunk day last night and it has me thinking about him and his team of black and white themed pals. they were made to be part of one of my friend's stories/character universes. i won't go too into details on the universe, but this group of four is just one squad in what is essentially a vigilante justice group who have a common goal and a head boss who gives them assignments based on each group's specialty(s). also the anthros in this universe each have a unique power

still working out the markings on a couple of them. there are quite a few changes from their creation back 9 or so years ago, a couple of the biggest being martín changing from a zebra to a zorse (he was always buff which didn't suit zebra i feel, so i pumped him with draft horse and now he fits better lol) and buck's name changing from marshall. i had named him marshall after a person i had known and then realized like LAST YEAR that it's a common name for dalmatian characters because of fire marshals 🤦‍♂️ i'm VERY slow to realize things okay
