Description
"A tribal woman riding a giant anteater through the bush.  There is a simple cloth saddle, she uses a stick to tap him on the shoulder to direct him.    She has a bag of ants as treats."

Literal giant anteater, yes. I can't resist large animal + female team pairing. Did a few sketches, but none screamed full color at me DX Need to work on more appealing designs, although I really enjoyed doing the decorative straps/saddles on these guys.

Three daily sketches in one! You spoil us~ There is a really nice dynamic to all these pairings and you get a good feel for the kind of relationship between the anteater and their female companion just by observing their gestures in these sketches. And the details on the saddles are really nice.

Yeah! I love doing character interaction sketches, although I probably should have focused a liiiittle more on design on these ones XD oh well! Thanks a lot!

I definitely had to go google anteater feet after seeing your sketches. Dang I wish I drew for this one! I'm....so bummed that giant anteaters aren't real. Wild amazonian women riding off into the horizon on their giant pets! I'm be scared to approach the top one though. Gonna punch with me with those big front legs!

Haha yeah, I THINK thats how they walk, idk. I had to design that one for work and ended up changing the feet about. They're sweet animals! All that tongue, slurp slurp!

omg i love when you do these animal human companion things. especially how you did three different "designs" Almost seems like different parts of the world too like the amazon and like african tribe. Idk anything about anteaters thought so idk where they live. They always remind me of cool sloths on the ground or something. Actually no, anteaters are wayy cooler with their snouts.

It actually reminds me of the show Arthur. That was my shit. With his dog "Pal" ahahaha. They were all animals and they like owned animals. omg imma go watch all of that right now

Yeah! I was too lazy to look up where they live, so I did wanna try a few different girl designs too.

haha oh gosh, arthur! I never watched that as much as other shows as a kid.

I want one! These look freaking sweet to ride! Never have to worry about ants attacking your poor innocent feet either.
