Description
Something of a self-portrait.There`sa striking similarity 'tween this and "Mustelidae" by . Hence I hesitated posting this in my gallery for fear I`d be seen as a plagiarist.
EDIT
I've re-uploaded this with the original as opposed ti the photocopy. Unfortunately the inks have gone a bot pink over time.

I think you did great at depicting the unity - or rather communication? - between the badger and the shaman/you. There's both strenght and fearless acceptance in the man's pose... and perhaps it's the only way how to face those claws...
Wonderful use of grayscale, too. At first it seems to be in the night, but then I can't help seeing it as a different sort of reality rather than a time of a day.

Thanks so much. As for the colours amd the environment, the original was done using warm grey-brown markers, a kind of sepia pallette, this is a B&W photocopy, and I was trying to capture an altered sense of reality, a waking dream.

Wow just looking at this brought back feelings of self-awareness in different areas of forests I've been in over the past couple of years. This is amazing artwork.

Thanks, Badgers tend to creep uninvited into my art sometimes, it`s a running joke that my Yule cards will eventually evolve into "spot-the-badger". One of my grandmother`s favourite sayings was "Tough as a badger and twice as stubborn."
