I've just finished the second book in the Sword of Truth series (no spoilers for the rest, please!), and I just had to do a rendition of one of the creatures in there.

This is a short-tailed gar. A big, carnivorous, and very intelligent creature. They hunt using bloodflies. The bloodflies help them find food, bite the prey and drive it out of hiding, and the gar makes the kill. The gar smears blood on its own chest, so the blood flies stay with it for later use.

I still can't get over how awesome that fur looks. Your shading is just getting better and better, and man, did you ever nail the image of a gar. *'s Gratch* You know, I really love that sky, too...
