Artist's Comments

First of all, I'd like to say that this drawing is dedicated to Steve Irwin. I know his favorite animal was the crocodile, but he had a place in his heart for every creature on the planet, so this drawing is for him. He did so much for this :earth:, not to mention being one of my biggest role models. :hug:

I'll never for get when he said,

"you can do anything with a little passion and enthusiasm."

I try to live by this saying, even if sometimes it isn't so easy to follow.

I titled this piece Mischievous Sun Jackal because of the Native American symbol for sun on his forehead and his expression. Originally he was supposed to be a wolf, but I drew his muzzle to short accidentally XD He ended up looking more like my dog April, who is a Shetland Sheepdog. (small version of a collie)

Mediums:HB pencil

Tehuti: "So we meet again, Mischievous Sun Jackal."

Mischievous Sun Jackal: "How--how did you find me here??"

T: "Your artist left a link in her old journal and I merely followed the trail."

MSJ: "What do you plan to do? I thought I'd seen the last of you when I moved accounts!"

T: "I plan...to RE-FAVE YOU!"

MSJ: :fear:

I used to be afraid of drawing people, and drew animals all the time-but then I got brave and started experimenting with fantasy ^^ I usually draw animals with some sort of fantasy feel to them. Thanks so much! :love:
