#154 The Okapi

Animalia: Day 115

The Okapi

This is the Okapi.

I'm not sure where it fits on an evolutionary map,

but its kind of a mix between a giraffe, antelope, and zebra.

It's a girantebra. Or a zebrantelaffe. Or a zebraffelope.

Anyways, since guest artist Jaime Raybin did

such a wonderful Okapi a few months back,

I wanted to do something different.

I think I was thinking about her (and my brother's) fondness

for "my little ponys" because I went that angle with the Okapi.

Also, my little pony horned quadrupeds (HQs)

are easier to draw than regular ones.

Also, I think this is the first drawing I've done that is entirely digital, 

besides the pixelart.

And two Animalia posts in two days, has this happened in the past year?

Also, a Brony is a thing.

Look it up.

Tomorrow: the Opabinia.

#147 Guest Artist Jaime Raybin Draws the Okapi!

Animalia: Guest Artist!
Jaime Raybin - the Okapi

Jaime Raybin is an artist living and working in Nashville, TN.

Her commentary for this image is as follows:

"it lives in a bathroom."

So yeah, now you know all you need to know about Okapis.

Jaime's forte is actually dinosaurs, but this fantastic little painting

shows a range that extends to stripy legged HQs in carpeted bathrooms.

Check out her work!
