Ever since I met  SteelTheWarrior on SL, he has been an entertaining, encouraging person to be around. He welcomed me into his big, warm circle of friends, and this here is one of a few ways in which I'm thanking Steel for being such a great, supportive buddy for me.

Drawing done with regular old #2 (HB) pencil, and some final touches with 2B/4B/6B (I forget) pencil. Oh yeah, and a couple erasers. Edited on the computer only to make the outer empty white space smoother (more memory-efficient).

I'm just getting into this furry drawing thing. Any real critique is greatly appreciated.

[Much later note: Wow I sure messed up the first rule of eye placement, despite being vaguely aware of it when I did this. In the future, I'll be sure to keep any toonish distortions in my drawings from messing with the sense of a properly-arranged head.]
