Artist's Comments

You do not often see Aardwolves in paintings so I decide I just had to paint one. Aardwolves are often mistaken for striped hyenas as they do look very similar with markings.

The Aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) is a small insectivorous hyena, native to Eastern and Southern Africa. The name means "earth wolf" in Afrikaans. Unlike other hyenas, the aardwolf is a defenseless animal whose diet almost completely consists of termites and other insect larvae.

ooo I learned of a new species :D i didn't even knowthe Aardwolf existed. Really neat actually.

Onto comments ofthe picture XD

I like the pose very much, but I think my favourite thing about the piece is how all the colours mesh very nicely. You put in a background which is nice to see and instead of making some nice blue sky you made it cloudy to more match the colours of the aardwolf, which is really cool.

And amazing detail.
