Description
Not too happy with the anatomy, but I worked extremely hard on the shading.GO THYLACINES! They definitely are one of my favorite critters.
And I don't care what you say: they still exist.
LOL. Think what you want, but I say they're still around.

very nice drawing 
I believe they still exist, they're not extinct.
I heard that scientists want to clone extinct animals like Mammoths (and maybe Thylacines 
That wasn't even a year ago, since I read that in a magazine.

I think I heard something about that, too. It would be exciting to bring the thylacine
and other species back. I'm hesitant about larger animals, like mammoths and sabers,
but things that have only been gone a few hundred years would be really amazing.

I think the anatomy and musculature looks good.
I'm not sure how they want to do it exactly, but I think a Thylacine would
be more possible to clone than a Mammoth or a Sabertoothtiger.
Because the last Thylacine (Benjamin) died in 1936, so they're "extinct" since 75 years, mammoths and Sabertoothtigers since millions of years.
In a laboratory or an archive they've got a Thylacine puppy that is pickled in a jar of alcohol , and they said, they can take the DNA to clone a Thylacine from that puppy.
But the problem is, that puppy is female, and they need a male too.
The female can't have pups without the sperm of a male one.
But I hope they find a male one too, and can make Thylacine clones.
It would be amazing, if there would be "new" Thylacines.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Bringing animals back from the ice age
seems like a good idea but it would throw the natural order of things
into chaos if we reintroduce species from that far back. However,
animals like the thylacine are much more plausible seeing as they
only went extinct within the last hundred years, mostly due to humans
encroaching on their habitat and not due to evolution or other.
I would be really excited if they are able to pull off a clone. We
should be doing this with species that aren't extinct yet but are
in danger, like tigers and rhinos. Save what we can while we can!

Very jealous of your shading skills lol xD The main problem I see with the anatomy is just the fact that thylacine's rump is supposed to be higher than it's shoulders, but very nice otherwise xD I don't know who could resist falling in love with these guys lol

Oh yeah, I see what you mean... I knew that the shoulders were wrong!
They were/are really amazing creatures.

Have you heard of Loren Coleman? He's my fave Cryptozoologist, I just adore the man!
One of these days we should go on a Bigfoot hunt! How cool would that be?! *excited*

I have not! What has he done in the realm of Cryptozoology?
(I bet I could just Google him and find the answer, but I bet I could get a more enthusiastic answer from you, lol.)

Haha I agree, there have been rumours of sightings of them. I wouldn't be suprised at all if they turned out to still be around. excited yes, but not suprised.
but thats me, and I think theres still dinosaurs around somewhere (although not as strongly as I thought it when I was little!)
I remember seeing the black and white video they showed on the news a few times of the last (known) tasmanian tiger. It made me kind of sad.
Lovely picture though, the shading is excellent, and I love the feet -is jealous of well drawn feet-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me neither! In fact, I do expect them to creep up sometime in the near future, what with all the sightings there have been lately.
I've seen that B&W video, too. It is so sad, but so beautiful at the same time.
Thank you for all the compliments!

True about the komodo dragon, I thought dinosaur as soon as saw pictures of them. people always said that crocoldiles were dinosaurs, but I never felt very satisfied with that.
Your quite welcome xD

"Wow. I should delete some of this crap. Why did I ever post it?" lol
I do see how much I've evolved, but I also see how much more I still need to grow.
LOL. You know, I don't know. Maybe because I've been seriously inactive lately.
