Dhio as a hyaenodon.  Pencil sketch, colored in photoshop.

Yeek, sorry for disappearing for a bit.  I’ve been pretty quiet on all fronts while we got the J*W vol.2 out the door.  Looks like it’s finally done?  We’ll see what the printers have to say.

Dhio is the god of smithery from some pantheon I made up while in high school.  (You might remember him from his crest and some other odd doodles.)  This is what the dude actually looks like, a giant prehistoric dog more or less based on a hyaenodon.  He can look like a man too, but I haven’t really been drawing him as such lately, hmm.

I don’t do this often, but I fan-art’d Dis! Today was a busy day, and it had its ups and downs. While teaching tonight I built a quick profile view library in Toon Boom Animate Pro so I could demo it for the students next week. When I was done, they were mostly still working on a previous assignment or starting on their first TBAP assignment, so I whipped this out in the photoshops, based on the one above, because Aidosaur did such a smashing job on hers. I kept mine real rough. It was fun to do a bit of quick and dirty fan arts.

She said he was some kind of a minor god, so I thought it would be neat to put someone in a situation where they were paying tribute poorly. Demi-gods are scary!
