This is the first ever sketch of my 'sona.

Thanks Skyler, this is great. I'm so happy to get to see him. I'm sure he will evolve as I flesh out the details over time and this a really nice place to be staring from.

While my 'sona isn't intended to be a psychopomp, the wings and book combined with the way he is looking up gave the idea for a potential lighthearted caption: "I'm sorry, Peter* has the day off. How can I help you?" (*or Anubis)

Very cool visual!

Thanks. Skyler really did a great job with this.

The shading/softening of the lines gives the sketch a very 'soft' look for the fur. I’m really happy with how that turned out! It shows up even in the thumbnail version but is especially nice when viewed as a full sized picture on a small screen like a smartphone.

Hi Skyler, I finally put a copy in my own gallery: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/11570200/
Please let me know if I got all the references to the original and to your Iron Artist Challenge the way you'd prefer to see them.
