Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright on four legs, correctly oriented and centered — a lean steppe wolf with a wiry, athletic build and clearly defined muscles beneath a coat of detailed grey fur, a darker charcoal stripe running the full length of his spine from neck to tail. Narrow, sharp muzzle, alert amber-yellow eyes with expressive, slightly exaggerated mobile brows for readable emotion, and a distinctly torn, ragged left ear notched from old fights. Bushy grey tail held low, dark paw pads on lean legs, sinewy shoulders. He stands watchful yet weary on cracked golden steppe earth dotted with dry feather-grass, warm golden Central-Asian daylight washing his fur, faint soft shadow beneath him. Ears half-back, gaze cautious and cunning, mouth slightly parted.
