I find that hyenas are super misrepresented in African-animal based fiction, and it bums me out because they're pretty neat animals! I understand why they are so easily dubbed as villains, with their strong jaws and sinister cackling, but they honestly get picked on waaay more by lions than they could ever dream of reciprocating.

To maybe spread some hyena love, I thought about opening up some spotted hyena adoptables (I may one day add brown hyenas, striped hyenas, aardwolves, and/or painted wolves).

This is the lineart I've created, as well as a couple dozen coat colourations, markings, eye colours, nose colours, etc. "Special coat" hyenas and hyenas with a mutation will be auctioned. Down the line, I will also be releasing new mane-types, like shaggy, spiky, etc.

I'm getting out of school soon and trying to start my life as an artist, so I'd really appreciate USD payments over GB, or at least maybe spreading the word to friends you think may be interested.



Information such as name and gender can certainly be changed upon purchase.
With every purchase comes a stand-alone (cropped) image of the hyena, with or without the text/name if you prefer.

They're all going for $5 USD each through paypal, or 10 GB. ((Except for Doa-- she uses a "special" gradient base and sports a rare rosette marking, so I'm either thinking of auctioning her or asking a slightly higher price))

please, post-purchase...:
- you now own the character, but please don't claim you made the design... 'cause you didn't!
- if you upload an image outside of Lioden, please link or redirect it to my deviantart, http://kiikua.deviantart.com/
- please do not alter the image, ie. trace or draw over, etc.

USD will go towards... food. And rent.
My mother and I are also trying to gather money to get a new desktop computer, since my laptop randomly crashes at inopportune times and often ruins progress on pieces I've been working on for hours (I've learned to save like an obsessed maniac now, but I could live without the anxiety).
When that happens, I will also be starting up some comics I've been developing kind of "in the background". I'm excited for the future, but in this kind of industry, I could really use some support.
