Description
"This adventure begins where it all started: the homeland of my ancient ancestors. Many, if not most, of their current descendants still live here, carrying on much the same lifestyle their forefathers did long ago. I may have had a very different, modern upbringing, but that does not present any barrier to the relationships I have cultivated with them. They like me, and I like them. We have more in common than our differences may suggest. I know there are others like them out there, so I figure this place will be a good starting point. I’m ready for whatever lies ahead…"

Second commission of the Ethiopian wolf Bruma. I'm far more pleased with the outcome. I definitely think the more you get to know a character, the better you can depict them. The background is supposed to be akin to Bale Mountain National Park, Ethiopia.
