Bringing my older paintings over from Inkbunny. Higher resolution version is available on my gallery there.

Wanted to do a practice with some direct lighting instead of the usual diffuse light that I tend to do for my pictures. Ended up choosing to draw a jerboa from ARK for no reason other than they're cute af, and I've used them as inspiration for characters several times by now but had never actually drawn one.

Fun fact: the ARK jerboas only have this name because the scorched earth survivors were bad at biology and thought they looked like jerboas, despite being more of a hybrid between a kangaroo and a fennec fox, so idk if I should even give this the jerboa tag or do something else xD
