Description Aboriginal wallaby slipping into the dreamtime as dingo spirits come to watch over her.

Aborigines believe that the dingo can see into the supernatural, it is a watchdog, warning of the approach of evil spirits and that they will protect them while they are in the dreamtime.

Strangely enough, I learned that little fact on the national geographic channel months after I finished the drawing.

Thank you very much. Sometimes you just gotta let your muse do what she does best and dont question and if your lucky, you'll come to learn the secrets behind it.

Thank you. I dont do very much anthro but every so often I am inspired and use the animal to portray a message that the regular human form cannot do on its own. My little wallaby here is one of my favorites.

I like that the wallaby being a wallaby adds to the image itself, since it's a true native to Australia.

Im most pleased that she looks more animal than human as seems to be the trend lately though Im guilty of that as well at times.

Ive always loves native cultures, especially Aborigines. Everything in this picture holds some truth to their culture. The dingos in the smoke are my favorite.
