He's waaay too mammalian for Oddworld methinks, but interesting concept. The feet are cool but the double-jointed legs are kinda... furry. Neck's a bit over-long for the body, too.
But that's all the negatives out the way; I like how it harks towards the outright evils of some animal testing. The cobbled-together simplicity of the body is a nice touch, makes it feel neglected, overlooked - the kind of throwaway-cruelty that breeds Oddworldian heroes.

Thanks!
I don't really agree that anything can be too mammalian for Oddworld, though. I think OWI would be doing themselves a disservice by ruling out mammals. I do however think his head looks a bit too close to an actual Earth dog. So I will toy around with different facial features etc in future sketches.
Also, the double jointed legs were based directly off other Magog machines like Slig pants and Snoozer joints. The body was meant to look modular, as if you start off with the head and artificial spinal cord, and snap on these cheap/salvaged body modules.
