I love big dogs and I love Tibet, wanted to draw a molosser for a while now ^^ This one laneded in Gdakon's conbook, heck, not really in the theme X3, so I started somewhere in the beginning of february.
The sword is inspired by a statue of death god Yama. Just a thing I found, not much meaning behind it.
