"The fire may be warm and inviting, but the thrill of the hunt is an exciting time no matter the weather outside..."

And if successful, it makes the pangs of hunger disappear just as well. ;)

A wonderful, and somewhat surprising commission from Shinigamigirl in which a great deal of artistic liberty was extended. She wanted to try out a winter scene using my character, and I let her knock herself out! Smokepaw, for those not familiar with him, is of Native American descent; Lenni Lenape (Delaware) tribe. The dress seen here is Shin's personal interpretation of historical period costume from the pre-Columbian era... She took some artistic license with the details, but even in the coldest of winter, breechclout, leggings, cape and a fur pelt were the extent of clothing worn. Hardy people!

At least Smoke has the benefit of a nice fur coat of his own!

Enjoy, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. :)
