Ok, I like to do sets or series... sorry >.>. Anyway, this is the first of 7. Not sure when Ill get to the other 6, but hey this needs to see the light of day. Its called the jeweled series for two reasons; 1. all the animals that will be apart of it are rare, endangered, and/or just beautiful precious creatures that we need to treasure... err... wait that last one is about any animal... hmm... anyway... 2. there are jewels on the piece.

I know its kind of "girly" and a little different style compared to my other stuff, but hey, I did this completely from my head with a reference. This style my professor would tell me that it was somewhere between toon and real and I need to practice one way or the other. Well, this is my style or at least the style I'm going to use for this series :P
