Ripclaw (bald)

Yes, this is Ripclaw...but bald and without any face/body paint :p. The reason is bald and without any face/body paint is because I was doing it as an drawing exercise to see how I could draw the right arm coming from behind.

Also, Ripclaw was my inspiration to create my own character, Krystallo, so this illustration was the early inspirations for that.

I did this illustration in 1998. It took me about 2-3 hours.

I have no idea what the 'upward drops' are >_<
