Originally a request by lemmo1 on DA a long time ago as well.
I finally came around to doing it and finishing it!

I took so long on this one because honestly I had no idea how I was going to draw a zebra with a beard. Many ideas came to me but I didn't like any of them. Then BAM it hit me, I was going to make an anthro!

This is the first time drawing something like this so I got many references. astrozerk on DA was a big help as I saw her Giraffe anthro and it inspired me.

Now I know he doesn't have a beard, so I'm sorry. I just thought he'd look so much better with a goatee. ><
Also this is my first work in a long time with no line art! I really like how it came out. Although again I run into the problem of it being too dark. ..

Found a nice name:
Zeke : ZAY-keh or ZEEK : arabic "the memory of the lord"

Oh a little tidbit about him. The green shirt he's wearing is his favorite shirt in the whole world. It's old and raggedy but he loves it anyway. If you try and take it from him he'll bite you. Really hard.
