Build-a-bear hyena is done!! I used a BAB dog for the pattern and made some adjustments where I needed em. (I also re-used the little heart!) They're a little bit wonky but I'm still happy with my project, and I have a bunch of spotted fur left over that I can use for future yeens!
[ID: a digital drawing that features the four members of the Hyaenidae family, from the top to the bottom: striped hyena, brown hyena, aardwolf and spotted hyena. Only their heads are shown peeping out from the left. They're painted with bright, unnatural colors and their eyes are not detailed. The word Hyaenidae is written vertically at the bottom right.

another commission, this one from a while ago, actually! The commissioner asked for a gnoll mage practicing lightning and earth magic together, and it took a couple exploratory sketches to settle on this way of representing that combination.
I always love a chance to paint craggy rocks-- I don't draw rocks nearly enough, but getting the shapes right is so satisfying. When I see a really nicely-rendered chunky rock I just want to put it in my mouth. My ambition is to draw rocks that inspire this feeling in others.
