April: African Wild Dog

March's Submission for the Endangered Art Project: [link]

Common Name: African Wild Dog
Scientific Name: Lycaon pictus
Status: The African wild dog is classified as Endangered (EN)
Threats: African wild dogs require large home ranges to support viable populations and recent habitat fragmentation has caused a population decline.

Another digital submission. I got thinking about my plans and what i currently owe for commissions, and i realized i would not be able to do a traditional piece. However, i decided not to wait, so i got April's submission off my chest by trying digital painting again.
Its not great and my anatomy/coloring for wild dogs is poor But still it was a good learning opportunity.

I may switch out this submission later if i manage some time for an easy traditional work. I would really like to do it traditionally
