Can You Love Hopix?

Please don't think of Sableye when looking at this, as this design was not based on his little body at all. It's actually based off of a little black Portuguese Water Dog plush I have (which is really tiny; it fits in my hand!) that I love. A lot. So it would be cool to have it as a pet--HOWEVER, instead of becoming a dog, I made it into a fox like creature with a mane and a folded ear (one ear is down and the other is pointing upward; I have tried numerous times to put that ear down and it just stays up unless it's wet.) and diamonds among it's body. And the plush itself only has one(1) eye so I decided to give Hopix one eye too.

It's name is derived from Hope and Felix (which is the dog's name, DON'T JUDGE). So it sounds like Hope-ix, not Hop-ix, like it's spelled/looks like.

Also, this is my first time trying such a pose! Like, head wise. I drew it during exams (I did finish them all, don't worry) because A: I was bored and B: The idea came into my head from an image I saw years ago.

This is for :reneedicherri:'s group contest (I'll get a link to that in a bit) with the theme "What's Your Perfect Pet?". You can find the canvas here: sta.sh/07zfj4pdech and more details about it here: reneedicherri.deviantart.com/j…. If I happen to lose, this will be a Fakémon, as it was originally intended. Reason being that I wanted to add more Fakémon stuff but then this contest made me change my mind (though the idea resides in the back in my head).
