Description
This is my contribution to the Anthro Calendar 2010 (unfortunately there is no website yet). The theme is "unusual anthros" and I chose the okapi, inhabitant of the congolese rainforest in Africa
They are simply gorgeous animals.The background was a pain in the ass, especially the water ... and yes, the male okapi is drinking water out of his palm. ; P The clothing should be traditional congolese, as far as I can trust the only 3 ancient reference illustrations of congolese men and woman.
EDIT: Thank you so much for suggesting this piece as a DD! And thanks for featuring it! I really appreciate it!

Congratulations for this awesome drawing, so imaginative, both looks as a woman and a man of the Congo, may be taller than the Pygmes, that live on the same places of the Okapies, but having the okapies the neck a it long, as relatives of the Giraffes, I think that is good, lol!
