†Auroch (Bos primigenius)
Art credit: José Antoni
These giant prehistoric cattle lived in a variety of habitats during the ice age, from Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, to India and East Asia. They were a significant animal to hundreds of cultures, featuring in European cave art, Babylonian murals, ancient Egyptian temples, and more. But over thousands of years they declined in region after region, and finally went extinct in 1627. But their effect on human history did not end there- aurochs were domesticated at least twice, and their descendants are modern cattle!

Doodle of an auroch based on the style of the Pazyryk tattoos.
To be fair, I say it's an auroch but it really could be just any wild cattle. I guess stylising something so heavily you lose a bit of the morphology.

when i'm not working on my comic i've been slowly chipping away at sprites for my fakemon project, so here's a small batch for your perusal
(fun fact: the blue-grey colored line is themed around sea life, "the abyss" as described in Dark Souls 3, and eldritch horror)
check below the cut for more details about each!

ABC
By Jackson 5
You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why two plus two makes four, now, now, now
I'm gonna teach you (teach you, teach you)
All about love, dear (all about love)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
ABC
Easy as one, two, three
Ah, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, one, two, three
Baby, you and me, girl
ABC
Easy as, one, two, three
Ah, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, one, two, three
Baby, you and me, girl
Come on, love and let me just a little bit
I'm-a gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about
Reading, writing, arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But listen without the roots of love everyday, girl
Your education ain't complete
Tea-Tea-Teacher's gonna show you (show you, show you)
How to get an "A" (na-na-na-na-na-na)
How to spell "me" and "you" (you add the two)
Listen to me, baby, that's all you got to do
Oh, ABC
It's easy as one, two, three
Ah, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, one, two, three
Baby, you and me, girl
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (one, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
That's how easy love can be
Sing a simple melody
One, two, three
You and me!
Sit down girl
I think I love ya'
No, get up, girl
Show me what you can do
Shake it, shake it baby, come on now
Shake it, shake it baby, ooh, ooh
Shake it, shake it baby, yeah
One, two, three, baby, ooh ooh
ABC, baby, na, na
Do Re Mi, baby, ow
That's how easy love can be
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (one, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
I'm-a gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come-a, come-a, come-a, let me show you what's it's all about
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (one, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
I'm-a gonna teach you how to sing it out
Sing it out, sing it, sing it, sing it (Oh, oh, oh)
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (one, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
