A Regal Horned Toad on a desert night with golden harvester ants and symbols of his kingdom.

This is a style inspired by Paramore's music video for "Anklebiters". You may see more reptiles in the future in this strange, relaxing-but-fun style.

Drawn/lined in india ink, coloured with watercolour pencils, highlighted with gouache, all on 9 inch x 12 inch (22.9 cm x 30.5 cm) mixed media paper.
