Im going through this phase of making impossible hybrids; this wasnt the first sketch/idea in the hybrid-themed stack, but I wanted to test myself. I havent done a "proper" background in a while, and wanted to see if I still could do a halfway decent job at one.
It was actually a lot of fun testing out techniques with lighting and fur; its still quite stylized but Im pleased with the turnout. I may post detail shots later on; Im debating it.
30 points to whoever can find the pun. 
Thanks for the visit; comments are appreciated!
