Tasmanian Tiger

This is a 4 by 6 inch drawing done in colored pencils, water-based markers and ink on Bristol paper. It depicts a Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, an extinct animal, and was done for a swap I am in at iATCs. It is an interesting looking creature. Here is an excerpt on it form Wikipedia:

"The thylacine had become extremely rare or extinct on the Australian mainland before European settlement of the continent, but it survived on the island state of Tasmania along with several other endemic species, including the Tasmanian devil. Intensive hunting encouraged by bounties is generally blamed for its extinction, but other contributory factors may have been disease, the introduction of dogs, and human encroachment into its habitat. Despite its official classification as extinct, sightings are still reported, though none proven."
