Even tho i think the description is cool...and the idea seems really nice. I'm not found of the art style, i mention that because you seem to be a fan of Hazbin Hotel, and you have a good grasp on the style, so you could have went with a similar style. It would have been cool to see this character in that style personally. But like you went with this one, my issue is of how it was colored, it has this soft edge flat shading, and it does not do much for it,
You could have been blended or not at all, one thing you could do is keeping the shading just as strong as the base color changing only the tones of lights and shadows over the base color.
About the concept, is rather blunt to be honest...the descriptions looks SO good, but the design of the character shows little to nothing of it. The direction you
Went with is, too cookie cutter outcast. A bit of a tip in creating a character, is picking 3 things you want to tell about the character. For example, if he was beaten to death with a candle stick, you could have made on of his pupils dilated, so he would have a eterocromia look to it, the look of a character is also part of the story telling.
The other thing, is how simple everything looks, nothing has much details, yet, you bothered in letting his boxers show through the ripped parts of his pants...or they could be the pockets, i don't know. I would have liked to see a few pockets, some lines over his clothing to add a bit of dimension to it.
The wolf form, is ok...the green and read makes it look too christmas themed, and the hair does not fit that well, but i'm not mad at it, and the crotch looks odd...
Even though i'm beating this concept to death with a candle stick, the idea is cool, and the character description is really nice. This makes me interested on knowing more about the character, there are just a couple of things you have to work on so the message gets across, all of those cool ideas were not visible on the drawing design. Except the par of him being a horndog...that does show, barely in that dash of red. So it shows that you have some sense of story telling, just push it a bit more.
I do actually like this a lot, enough to rant about it. So you are doing something right.
