My first conbadge request from FCN, and believe it or not, the first German Shepherd Dog I've ever drawn. This was one of those pieces I had a hard time giving back, I really really liked it,it was tremendous fun to do, and... well.. it stretched my capabilities a bit, and I liked the results!

I successfully used salt for the first time on the background (usually I get the moisture levels all wrong and it doesn't work right), and for once I didn't 'cheat' and use marker on tongue or nose. Overall, incredibly happy, and I believe he was too! :)

(It's always a delight seeing your artwork in the wild, in my case, the fursuit parade. ;) )
