Sorry that this took me so long ;-;
The actual time that this took me to make is probably ~20 hours, but the reason that it took me so long (~3 weeks) to really finish it was the many tests that I had in school (5 in the last 2 weeks alone ;-; ) and I had not a lot of time left because of that and I played video games when I had time because I was really stressed out through all those tests... meh, should've drawn instead ;-;
But it's finally done and I'm really happy with the final version here, tried a lot of new things (not the idea that I had with Gmod that I mentioned, this here was (except for the layout of the ref sheet, I made that too, but per Linework Layer) completely drawn by hand by myself with one reference picture of a Growlithe, link in the credits) for example a new way of shading and highlighting and I really like it.
I think that this will be my main style for the next few artworks at least :3
Oh and I used the outlines of the Growlithe from my Doodle Dump #4, link also in the credits .

I guess 1080p would've been enough for this artwork but well, I kinda overdid it and now it's true 4k XD

Contact me via note here on dA if you want to use this ref-sheet layout, it's free to use ^^

*EDIT: Forgot to add my signature, duh
