"Welcome, dear guests of this hotel! You may call me Malik Hrnjica, little more but a humble waiter fulfilling his duty to provide you the best service possible. Even with my modest background as a farmer's son raised in the quaint countryside of Bosnia, I can assure you no other member of this staff is as well-bred, as nimble both on his feet and in his mind, and, most importantly, as dashing looking, as the stoat proudly standing before you!"

"Oh, you just wanted to ask for the menu? Well then, have a look and call for me when you've settled on a meal."

Last month was a very slow one, when it comes to art. The artists I commissioned or was intending to commission were very busy and I dedicated little time to drawing, and if I did so, then mostly for smaller doodles, exercises and a larger project, I'm still working on. Amusingly enough, all images I am going to upload in this batch were all the product of  ThreeSecondsBack in one way or another. While the other drawings were done by them, this one was a YCH offered by  GalaxiMonkey they won. Since Zack was already a fan of this stoat during his development phase, and this pose perfectly captured his charmingly smarmy personality, they decided to surprise me with this gift. And I couldn't be any happier with how Malik came out. Just look at how stupidly proud this stoat is of himself! Such a perfect introduction to his character

So many thanks to both Zack and Gala for this lovely drawing ^^
