Description Hey! That's not a person!

A cute and interesting character commission for a friend who is working on a novel.

These little guys (Time Keepers) live in an organic-like natural clock tower. The organic tower is the pathway between our world and theirs. They decide who is and isn’t allowed into their lands and protect it.

I was iffy getting into this at first because this is the first time I've really ever painted/drew a furred creature or character. But I did a lot of research on different fur types and how it grows and just kept building it up

But the real key to this piece was the glowing gems on the staff, and trying to balance the whole picture out without having them dominate it so much. The purple glow was good for that!

This little Time Keeper is just adorable. I don't know if I want to just keep him and pet him or just hug him to death.

Yes, I've kept this in my queue so far . This is indeed unusual and I must tell you this is an outstanding drawing. Your extreme care for details, of course but also your work upon textures. I have no idea what animal it is but it's obvious you grabbed a lot of documentation. What I find amazing, roughly: the eyes, fur, the staff, wood, glowing gems, the nose... Well, that's almost everything in that picture in the end !

I can hardly believe it is your first experiment!

Thanks so much I had a blast on this one.
As for the animal, the creator of the character wanted him to look -not of this world-... so we molded in elements of animals such as a beaver, monkey, groundhog, rodent and even a wombat haha

That explains why my deficient animal knowledge was defeated! I must admit you quite succeeded.

Wonderful painting. The fur is beautifully painted. As well as the wood on his staff. My favorite part perhaps is the way the gems on his staff glow and the purple magic effects.

that's so good! I love how you made the hairs of the fur thick, like I'd imagine that animal has. and of course, as always - amazing details! Awesome drawing!

He's not really a particular animal- just a creature in his own way. So strangeness works
