Mutual of Scribblelogue's...Wild Kingdom.

So I am not Marlin Perkins, but sometimes I draw animals. The Hippo was just something that came up when I thought about being a kid and owning Hungry Hungry Hippos. The bird was from a failed attempt at a portrait of former DevArt staffer Yachtclub, who was also in the shot, but cropped out...because the only thing that turned out ok in the illo was this bird.

The hippo was done digitally, and I haveto say I am still a long ways of from being comfortable (or competant) drawing from scratch with a Wacom and software. I prefer real pencils, really. The bird is pencil, gouache and some digital tomfoolery.
