Um i don't want to be rude but neferu looks like he got back pain or something with this posture that slightly bent forward while his hand on his side, like this picture.
I dunno, I like his current sprite. It makes him look more fierce and put together in terms of his demeanor. But I do miss his submissive and lighthearted persona as well, when he didn't have to worry about being emperor and he could just be himself. Now he has to put on a facade for the Wolves around Adastra and act more strong than he should have to... it hurts my heart to know that he has to do all of that without the one he's in love with :(
