Artwork Text Description: Digital line drawing of an anthro-furry cheetah servant male named Khay and coyote servant male named Hharka on white background. They are sitting on a bed in Khay’s room and talking to each other about their favorite books. The bed is covered in numerous pillows, and a bookshelf is integrated into the wall behind the bed. They are both wearing just bevaal wrap-around loincloths and arm bands with their accessories, which is a common thing for the average bevaal to wear both at home and in the city. They are both also wearing ornate metal collars. Both characters are adults and are around the same age.
They are both head servants for their masters, Lue’maar and Areco’tavak, who are also friends. Areco is far higher status as the wolf paladin, 3rd in command of the entire empire. Both Khay and Hharka are very wealthy and powerful but still are not free. They both have dreams of one day being independent and citizens.

New personal art, a sketch with my characters Khay and Hharka! (Left to right) Khay you are probably familiar with, but Hharka is a new name! He is the same coyote character that appeared alongside the Wolf Areco in my comic page here https://www.patreon.com/posts/taria-prologue-1-28728119 :)
Both Khay and Hharka’s masters are good friends, so these two happen to see each other occasionally when they visit. They also happened to become good friends as well, since they have a lot in common with each other ^^ Here they are sharing their love of reading, by trading some books with each other and chatting :) __________
(I tried to inclue the SFW one as an additional file, so let me know if it doesn't work XD )
This sketch is the begging of something new. I’ve wanted to make sketches like this for a very long time, but have always been discouraged by feeling like they are “not good enough” or “not popular enough.” But at the end of last year I had a bit of a breakdown, and since then stuff like popularity hasn’t had the same pull to me. When it comes to personal art, I now want to make what I want, not what I think people want to see. And I want to draw sketches because it’s fun, so that’s what I’m going to do :P So expect tons more sketches from me over this year haha (and I actually mean that this time)
Now since I do like coloring stuff occasionally (not counting art that is meant from the beginning to be colored), I’m going to start another new thing where, once I have a few of these things done, I will poll my supporters on Patreon and then color/paint the sketch that they voted on ^^ This way I can have a bit more interaction with the people on my Patreon (and get some colored drawings posted) :)
About the sketches themselves, one thing that was important to me, if I was going to do this, was having a sketch style I loved! And so I have thought about this a while, all the different techniques I could use, and this is the look I settled on :) I will still try to develop it, and I’m sure it will evolve over time, but this style I’m super happy with ^^ I have so many idea for future sketches, and I’m really excited to have the confidence to work on them! :D
(side note, I will be numbering the titles of these sketches to make them easier to keep track of! This one will be (02) and the number will go up from there! That’s how you will know each one is part of the sketch series)
