Rough Sketch: Jackal Men

These hounds have learned to walk on their hinds legs and hunt like men. They have been known to kill other predators that get in their way, with the exception of lions and jaguars.

This sketch is really great. The antelope* is/was a holy being in many African cultures, as it is/was a link between the physical plane and the spiritual world.

Look up Saharan rock art in addition to examining the masks. Some of these pieces can be as big, equivalently, to a two-storey building.

* Clemmie informed me that it is a jackal-man. It might also be wise to look into the babulus, an African water oxen. I'll provide links or quotes on the creatures at a later time.
