The Jackal/Snake Hybrid with size shifting tail returns!

Having realised the character, I wanted to flesh out a couple of alternate forms, with the Hybrid's serpentine aspects taking hold more and more until naught is left but serpent!
The wonderful Kobada was nice enough to help me bring these ideas to life too! thus opening up a myriad of options for my still 'as yet unnamed' jackal-snake-hybrid (Snackal? xD)
Plus they added some nice shading to the 'standard form' and the headshots :D

"DK" is a bizarre combination of Jackal and Serpent, with the exact balance of this mix seeming to shift at will - though he is typically found in bipedal form of a reasonable humanoid size and stature - he can adjust this to suit the environment, situation, or just his mood :D
He can shift the size/length of his tail and tongue with little to no effort, while more substantial changes to his overall size are more taxing to perform, and thus performed much more rarely

Details (canine form):
- Relatively tall/long, pointed ears and muzzle (as compared to a wolf for example)
-Typical Height: 180cm / 5ft 11in (variable with shifting abilities)
-Tail Length: Highly variable at will, though typically kept around 1.5m - 2m
-small split in left brow
-reptilian slit pupils in all forms
-Fangs and forked tongue
(while shown digitigrade here, can also be plantigrade to suit scenario/artist preference etc)
Details (snake form)
-Fangs are retractable, folding up and back into the mouth 'roof' and sheathing in maw flesh, to allow for the safe, soft nomming of friends! (see mawshots for examples of both positions)
-If desired, the head (or a featureless version thereof) from the snake form can be used as a tail-maw for the 'Standard' bipedal form :3
(for the naga form, and especially the feral serpent, this reference is mainly for colours and patterns, since the size/shape/proportions can be changed/shifted to suit the scenario/art!)
