So, this is the 2nd day. I would have uploaded this sooner, but like a dummy, I made awesome progress, but hadn't saved yet, aaaand GIMP crashed. a good 2 hours lost, had to start ALL OVER.

for some, 2 hours may not be a lot of progress... but this image I was making BIG headway. It still turned out pretty decent, I think, but hey.

So, this guy is an anthro version of a creature called a Thylacine. A marsupial that was native to Australia, until they had been deemed extinct (though I think there's been evidence that shows that they are likely still alive, just hard to find)
