I still submitted this for the discord artfight, but I decided to stay away from doing prompts for the day since a few of them just were not to my interests. This one used no refs for shading, I tried to go for a sort of animal in the dark look for it. I'm happy with how the face turned out, but there is still much to be improved upon in terms of my painting ability.
I also decided to time this one, it took almost three and a half hours.
