Cover version of Ranarh

My roleplaying character Ranarh was one of my first attempts at digital painting back in the day. I finally got around to repainting the intro cover; the story started out on the volcanic planet Helvite, which was rife with these bunny-things called fremai.

By then I realized it takes a beginner much, much longer than me to achieve the same results, and their heads start spinning from the myriad of shortcuts, tools, adjustment layers and everything - even if I explained only what I considered the necessities - and the picture was left alone for a while.
