Another leaf from my Sketchbook. this one is a further study of the creature in I believe my first "Sketchbook Spam" submissions, the one with the horn.

And I'm happy to say that after a contest I held between my facebook friends, I now have a name for them (High time, I created them YEARS ago) These guys are collectively known as the "Tornak", and just fyi, they are neither canine, or feline.
just a species of their own that came out of my mind. I don't have a lot of specifics on them, so no huge back story or realm of existence, I just have a general size range for them, they're roughly the size of a Siberian Tiger, though perhaps slightly taller due to the longer legs.
and the one illustrated here is a typical male of the species, I have yet to come up with a female form for them that meets the criteria of being both strong, yet feminine, and that still looks like the same species...it's very difficult to do this, I've found...
