My first ever gift art from Ben (Telegram and Twitter). He's a very generous honey badger who lives near me.

Ben used my shaded reference sheet as his only reference. His original design had green irises, black pupils, and black sclera. That darker eye design is great symbolism for many werewolves who prefer the darker side of lycanthropy. If eyes are a window to the soul, then dark eyes may reveal a dark soul. I like this version where Mud has brighter eyes revealing a brighter soul.

Thank you Ben for being a great friend and wonderful caregiver!
