Long time watchers of mine art probably very familiar with Sheila. She's one of NewEnglander's characters that I've been drawing forrrrrr.... I dunno. Probably close to a decade. For new watchers of people who are not familiar with her, she's a woman cursed with lycanthropy and literally becomes a bear every morning until she's had her morning coffee.
While she's normally a grizzly bear, NewEnglander came up with the idea that her bear form would actually take the appearance of bears native to the part of the world she is in at the time (She'd become a polar bear while in Alaska/Northern Canada, a Sloth Bear while in India, a Koala when in Australia. Okay, so a Koala isn't actually a bear... but the idea would be too funny to pass up.)
I'm under the impression that her lycanthropy has somehow become sentient and is having a blast trolling her.
NewEnglander mentioned doing a comic about this one day. I sure hope so because I think the concept is hilarious.
Anyways.... this is the last of the actual pages of the calender. Now I'm going to put it together and then make the cover image and hopefully it will be available for purchase within a week or so...

Mmmm... how to describe Sheila...
When she's in anthro bear form, she's basically keeps her human mind and personality but gains huge cravings for honey. And her appetite increases by a lot.
However, if she goes too long without her coffee, she starts taking on the form of a more feral bear and begins to become more feral and animalistic in mentality. I'm pretty sure she doesn't become violent or break things/hurt people, though.

The good news is that it is tradable like a baseball card... IF and only if the lycanthropy wants to be traded (And that only seems to be when the results are guaranteed to be humorous).
She accidentally traded it to her boyfriend for little while when he jokingly said he'd he'd trade the curse for a kiss. The poor lad doesn't even like coffee.
