nice black backed jackal so far. but it looks to much like a coyote at the moment
Black Backed Jackal
as you can see in the picture in the spoiler above the ears need to be larger, the snout needs to be slightly shorter, it needs to be bulkier, the fur needs to be a more orangish color, the underbelly needs to be whiter. and the back needs to be much blacker with some silvery streaks and the tail must be black too. sorry if this sounds rude

Hmm first of all: I'll remind you I can't mesh, I just scaled up the ears so it won't be 100% accurate but I think it's pretty fine at the moment....
Second: I'll make variants, I'm planning at least 2 more "normal-colored" variants (and one or two albinos) so I'll make one with a blacker stripe and one with a whiter belly, because not all jackals have the black and white so prominent.
Third: your picture is not on profile, it's 3/4, so the snout obviously looks shorter, look:
Reference

Mesh

Maybe it's a little bit too long, but there's not much I can do about that and I think it looks good enough. If someone wants to edit it for me that would be great of course but I'm not counting on it xD
Also about bulkiness, not all of them are that bulky (and would be hard to edit too)
Slimmer Jackal

Finally regarding the colors here's the ref I used:
Ref

As you can see it's not that reddish and the black and white are not too prominent, but I will make variants to cover that aspects ;)

Thanks for your criticism, sadly I can't make much about the mesh but you were right about the ears, I scaled them a bit up as shown above, and you gave me ideas for the variants :)

Variant time!
Made a redder (is that a word?) skin, which I think I'll leave as the main skin, the previously shown one will be a variant.

I made a total of 5 skins, which I think is a good number. Three of them are "normal" skins and two are "special", one of them is an albino variant and one is a "blonde", I don't know how common it is but it was too pretty not to make one.
Here you can see the five variants, open them in a new tab so you can see the differences in markings:

Love all the variants. The blonde chacal is really beautiful. I never saw an albino chacal.

Neither had I, but reading wikipedia I found "Albino specimens occasionally occur" so I searched for pictures and found some :P

Oh I love it lgcfm! :D Splendid work on the skins, never heard of the blonde one either, very nice! :P
(If you want help with making ears bigger, ask carnotaurus, he did the same for another animal we made together ;) also, if you need a tester, shoot me a pm!)

Edit: bigger is smaller ^_^
