Thanks guys! Yes, its pencil. Hopefully it raises some money for them. It is a cat focused rescue, hence the lion, but this is the first feline I've ever drawn. I'm set to do another one for the organization I got my last dog from. I also spend a significant amount of time with my dogs, and had looked for a project dog that had some problems prior to getting him...I'm so grateful that I was able to work with the agency I got him from, and that they trusted me with him, he has turned out to be amazing.

67temp - I don't hunt but I do fish, a lot. I went out for trout this year for the first time ever but it was a bust. I can't bring myself to kill an animal but I recently had a fox problem which led to me losing half of my chickens. It culminated in me chasing the fox around in circles in my bare feet (he would run around behind me to get to the chickens), and after that I decided I would be ok with shooting him.

Redshepherd - I think it would drive me nuts doing art all the time! I did commissions for years and enjoy it way more now that I don't get paid for it. Also, wolves are my favorite animals, but the closest I ever really get to seeing something like that is the occasional coyote when I'm out running, or you know, outside of my yard stalking my chickens.

Jmcrook - that skull is AMAZING. How big is it?
