I did a little research for what is associated with time, so here we go! Everything not included in this explanation is just 4 funsies Shoulder + back paws - Time flies, does it not? These shapes / patterns are meant to resemble wings. Tail and rear rings - These were inspired on how you can tell how old a tree is by its rings. Idk I didn't know what else to put there Base of tail - This is meant to resemble an hourglass but I don't think it looks like one lol Front paws: Idk if you know what an Ouroboros is, but if you don't it's a snake or dragon eating its tail, and is meant to symbolize the endless loop of time. I honestly love how this part turned out ^^ Cheek fluff - This is kinda shaped like an infinity icon... I do not like how it turned out. Eye and chest patterns - Was meant to look like a clock without hands but it kinda looks strange and makes the pattern really busy so I took them out in the last idea. Upper leg - Swirls! Spirals are associated with time and I didn't know if you wanted the swirls / spirals like from last time so I put them in there. But again, the pattern was really busy so I removed them in the last design Lol I was really excited since I missed the last one so yay! Firepaw!
