Hmm, I guess this can count as an anthro. It's not everyday a jackal has posable thumbs....or spots...and split tail...don't ask where that came from...*ahem* I don't have a story thrown together for this guy, but he's half jackal, half cheetah. He's got the spots, the stripe down his muzzle, lil whiskers; he's mostly jackal though. I'm trying not to be as lazy as I usually am. There are SO many talented artists it blows my mind! I'm sure they push themselves, put their all in their work. Either that or they flat out have fun and that energy replaces any laziness that might occur. Rambling.....
I'll add a shadow n stuff later (ahhh, laziness). I wanted to upload something badly. Here ya go.

Character (c) me, DaBean.
Done in pencil in mah sketchbook. Oh, and please open this up in full view. The thumbnail probably doesn't do the detail justice....*shrug* Pwetty pwease!
Edit: Forgot to mention that the ornaments he wears are of African descent. Don't ask me of their meaning, haven't researched too deeply into that, I'm afraid. A lot of furry artists give their creations Native American roots and there's nothing wrong with that, hey, I'm part Native American. Just wanted to try something different.
I talk too much *spasm nods*
