I've always wanted a bear character, and have just recently gotten the courage to draw one. I'm really pleased with him so far. My gf made the fox character hiding behind him, named Alaska.

The bear is called Cheveyo (or Chevy), and he lives in a cold, wintry seaside industrial town. He spends a lot of time drinking/being drunk and is a professional illegal ass kicker in the bar which he lives above. Alaska is new to the area, with a bad habit of stealing and getting into trouble. She meets Cheveyo in an alley and uses him as cover from the angry store clerk from who she's stolen from.

More pics to come as these two are developed :)
