I painted this prairie dog and owl sketch for my illustration class. These guys are a little different looking from the running characters a few posts ago, but I kinda like the fat version of the rodent; I'm still working on a unique look for the owl, this one is still kinda generic. I wanted the snake's shadow (the shadow is supposed to belong to a rattlesnake, btw) to look as if it was correctly being cast across the ground, grass and animals but didn't want it to be lost as it transitioned and not look like a snake.
