Regular Version
The head of this creature was first sketched and then scanned in. I then warped and adjusted the head before printing it back out. I then drew a body onto the the new version of the head. I then drew some new feet to replace the original rough and awkward versions. I then combined the line drawings in the computer, which I then recreated using the 'vector nodes' method. I then colored and shaded the creature and added the ground shadow.
Plain Version
This is the creature before I added the jaguar-like spots and lightened the underbelly.
