hyena bookmark II

Because I made one last year and ended up giving it away as a birthday present.
So I made a second one and also gave it away to the same person for yet another occasion. Maybe they can start a collection of sorts if I continue this.
They asked me whether I was trying to imply anything with the whole hyena thing xD
This was fun because I can see the difference in technique and all that in comparison to the one from last year. The anatomy is still too "wolfy" to my liking, but at least it's better than the previous one. I'm going to sketch and practice some more hyenas in my sketchbook next.
I normally don't make any art for free for anyone (friends might get some sort of discount but anyone else shouldn't count on it), but during cases where I have no time to go out and buy a present I sometimes draw them something instead. Or just special/exceptional occasions, but those don't happen too often.

This one was finished yesterday in a hurry. It took me less than two hours overall, but also meant I had to stay up until 5AM to finish it because inspiration hit at the wee hour of 3:15 AM. >:I
Now my schedule is cluttered. On the other hand, it had been a while since I saw a sunrise.

Last time I featured some OC still in the works, this is another OC though a different one. This one and the hyena in the previous one are related though they're of different ages (this one's way younger). I'm still working on both of their designs since they do look quite different.
...I think this one also accidentally has my expression of fatigue.
The bags under my eyes are starting to turn into very dark rims instead, and it actually shows from a distance. Too much work requiring a desk, too much time inside, eeurg.


I'm not sure how big it is. I'm estimating something of 5 cm x... however broad an A5 paper is.
