Ace the jackal and Kristania the ringtail cat, exploring the jungles of Iriomote Jima together (a little island thats part of Okinawa, south of Japan). Surprisingly, they come across a friendly wildcat - a yamamayaa (also known as iriomote yamaneko, or iriomote mountain cat, which are extremely endangered, and there are estimated less than 100 left in the wild), and another watches on cautiously from nearby...

I did this piece as a gift for my wife ayukawataur, and the characters Ace and Kristania (aka Misty) belong to her and I.

The art was done with micron pen and acrylic paints on 11"x14" illustration board.

Overall time taken about 55-60 hours.
