Considering I've had a serious art drought lately, I'm going to try this. Who knows, maybe something useful will come out of it all! I'll use this page to decide where to start, and link the results in this journal as I go.

What can it hurt?

(BTW: First roll was 82: Red Panda)

did something similar but with more commonly seen animals. If I get through the first 100, I might try these, too.
