Fox in the Thicket

More experimentation. Different resolutions and a middle point when I was adding the character in after getting the background done that turned out oddly charming.

The Gohma have multiple aspects of what they represent. The Lions embody subconsciousness which I most often depict in it's more feral form like some combination between Zeus and Pan, but they also...

Companion image to "Alchemist's Lab I" furthering themes I described in the last one, and drawn at the same size.
