A birthday present for  swanbear! It's a hermit shadowkin inspired by his aardvark fursona Louie.

Canonically all hermit shadowkin have red eyes, but considering I created the species I figured I could take some artistic liberties with them for a friend, especially since I wanted to make it usable as a hermit shadowkinsona as well. <3

This currently makes  swanbear the only person beside me that has a hermit shadowkinsona, so it's actually a pretty good birthday present, I think. Even should I eventually offer these as adoptables or similar, he will still have been the second one to have one ever, which makes him super cool. <3
