A bunch of my friends finally convinced me to get a tablet to draw on and stop using the mouse, so after a little acclimatization I managed to come up with this piece. Stylistically it's a bit of a mix between my classic digital style and my paper style, somewhat befitting the tools and medium. As a sketch it's not quite as polished as my typical digital work, but I'm nonetheless satisfied with it. Speed-wise the tablet is a bit of a middle ground between paper and the tablet, but time will tell how this evolves over time as I get more time on it.

The character pictured is Purtram Rogers, another one from my writing projects, pictured in his earlier role at the Purite Advanced Projects Laboratory before the Catite War of Independence. An Amur Leopard, since his well-publicized role in defecting to the Catite side and aiding in the development of Cate's energy weapons program which played a significant role in securing Catite Independence from Pur, he has somewhat shifted tack, pursuing politics as the leader of the centrist-positioned People's Alliance for Democracy in Cate simultaneously with his continuing teaching role at Hamilton Republican University.

Monochrome digital sketch of an Amur leopard sat cross-legged on a stool. He wears an unbuttoned double-breasted coat over a sleeveless sweater, dress shirt, and tie. Additionally, he is wearing a pair of round glasses and has a Homburg hat positioned on his lap. In the background are a bookshelf with an award placed atop it and large wall-mounted text saying "APL".
