Description And as wicked laughter coursed through the dust, and the red moon sat high in the sky, mocking the land . The Matriarch led her clan through the shrouded plains, toward the herd. Whom sat terrified, frozen, and blind by the darkness and dust.....As the laughter carried on, getting louder and louder, She stood up on a rock..... eyes following behind her. The soon to be dead could feel....... their end was near...... The Matriarch guarantees a feast tonight.

Urgh! This pic went through a few different BGs and what-have-yous.
Finally got sick of it and finalized it.

I dunno. But she's in charge.



ENJOY!!

-Danielle

It's weird how looking at this I can just hear the laughter ensuing from that clan in the background. Love the pic, especially since it's my favorite animal.

The BG is very ncie on this one. Only thing I could say is the snout looks a bit broad at the jaw. But it works for the menacing grin. Love it!

In all seriousness though, I love this picture. The red in the darkness gives it that feel of danger and evil. Love this

Wow, really great job you draw hyenas so well. I hate how people keep saying 'Oh, this reminds me of TLK' when it's nothing like it! These hyenas look way better than the ones in TLK and the mood is much more dark and realistic, so I wish people would enjoy your art for what it is instead of trying to compare it to something else.

Sure, every hyena reminds at Lion King and the always misspell BANZAI's name...

What do I have to say to this artwork?
It's amazing! I just love your hyena works. One reason is: you pay attention to hyena-details.
Not many artists do that.
