This is Yasha! He's a big russian tiger owned/created by exdog! He helps move big boxes for a living and loves the cold so he's not even using that coat.
I tried to take this slow to make it turn out right, and I think it turned out pretty ok! I see things I want to fix so that's a good sign that I haven't quite plateaued out on sketching or anything. I just need to sit down and do studies and practice. The original one looks a bit better. This heavier paper doesn't scan so well now that I look at it.
On a different note, I feel like I should create a separate account for this personal stuff since I know a majority of people follow me because of the commissioned art I buy, but at the same time unless someone complains it just seems like a hassle.
