A (very) belated Christmas gift for @kingdomblade, author of the delightfully funny webcomic Lesser Than Three. Some of his characters have very different reactions to the cold, and I thought I’d depict that!

In This Scene

Wheeler Rockwell the polar bear was invited by Rory Donavan the husky to join him for a calisthenics workout in the park. By the looks of it, both of them have been working pretty hard. Their friends Elijah Staley the otter and Annie Goldwin the red panda were walking by, coincidentally, and Eli decides to tease friends about their natural immunity to the weather. Annie, meanwhile, who can’t wait to get back to her place for some hot chocolate and a nice, cozy fire, stares dumbfounded at her friends’ apparent insanity.

Behind the Scenes

@kingdomblade draws a disproportionate amount of my suggestions in his Suggestion Box on Patreon, so I decided that he deserved some fanart from me in return.

This took a while. I traced the poses and the pull-up bar for Rory and Wheeler, but everything else came from my imagination. I rarely draw this many characters, let alone a background, but I’m pleased with myself for putting in the effort and the final result is exactly what I had in mind.

Hope you enjoy, @kingdomblade, and thank you for being an inspiration to the rest of us!

Art commission featuring best buds Elijah Staley and Rory Donovon playing a friendly game of volleyball! I was given a lot of freedom with this illustration, but having “beach” as a suggested theme to get my gears turning was much appreciated. I cannot express just how much fun I had with this! Thank you @kingdomblade for the opportunity to draw these two for you again!

You can find more of Eli and Rory’s shenanigans (alongside more friends) in a fun webcomic series called “Lesser Than Three” on their Tumblr and Patreon.
