Dhole as Totem

The dhole is a member of the canid/dog family, found throughout parts of Asia and Siberia. They have adapted to living in a wide, wide variety of habitats (from rainforest to desert), and is a very social animal; like the African Painted Dog. They have a really interesting range of vocal expressions. :)

*does the Yay Canine Dance* I feel like giving you a song a friend wrote about dholes.
(Roughly sung to London Bridge)
Wii-iild dogs that hunt in packs
Group attacks
Meaty snacks
Wii-iild dogs that hunt in packs
They'll eat you
'Cause they're dholes

The colour of the fur, and the way you've shaded the muzzle (right word, right?) is sublime. S/he looks so stately!

^_^

that song is freakin awesome!

It is, isn't it? I sang it to the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down and made happy noises in my own head. Lol.

I have to say the shading on this one is exquisite!

Beautiful

The colors and shading turned out really well and you did a beautiful job on the overall image :3. Blue mountain swallowtail and orange-faced sprite also look wonderful :). And I'll send you a message back soon.

Thank you. *hugs* Look forward to hearing from you (no matter what you decide).

He has this sweet, solemn disposition to him. I love the warmth of this one.
