So I joined the species 'xchange. It's a themed round and the theme is subterranean animals. So I picked an Olm.

"The Olm or Proteus is a blind amphibian endemic to the subterranean waters of caves of the Dinaric karst of southern Europe. This animal is most notable for its adaptations to a life of complete darkness in its underground habitat. The olm's eyes are undeveloped, leaving it blind, while its other senses, particularly those of smell and hearing, are acutely developed. It also lacks any pigmentation in its skin."

And I thought they were SO cute. I had to draw one tooso I did, slapped on some marker and I named him Gnole.
I thought the pipe fit with the whole 's' curve of his body. I added an handle to the pipe because his arms are so short. Sadly I realised after the fact that I could have bent his body and had him use his legs to hold the pipe. I think that would've have been way more appealing. But it's too late now and it's only a doodle so oh well. Perhaps I'll do a proper artwok of him in the future.

oh and the thing in his foot is a long ass barbeque lighter.
