This piece was originally done for Paul Kidd after reading the first draft of 'Fangs of K'aath' back in late 1991. A golden jackal in semi-Egyptian costume bearing a copper blade. This was a self-assigned project to learn how to do gems, shading on gems, and various metals and textures (cloth of gold, polished gold, and copper). It is entirely colored pencil, but the background has been edited to a solid black using Photoshop to correct some minor 'blotchiness' in the black when it was scanned.
