I was watching a nature documentary about deserts and its fauna with my boyfriend already some time ago (like, months). I really love painting and creating desert-like environments so I got super inspired and drew the sketch for this one. :) Well only now I got around painting it, turned out to be a bit speedy with it but tbh I was more focused on the feel and color scheme generally, didn't want to get too frustrated with details etc. I'm sorry if it looks a bit messy! The canine there turned out to be a bit jackal-ish, though it's completely imaginary so I wasn't trying to paint an actual species here. :)

Nice atmosphere, I like how the mountains in the background fade into the haze. Looks a little apocalyptic, actually, but the Jackal seems to be happy enough to be there.
