Description
My long-time eBuddy from Australia asked me to draw him a tattoo of a "combat wombat" a few months ago, and I got the sketch done that day... and last week ago I found it still in my scanner >< So I scanned it again, cleaned up the sketch and made it a little awesomer. I'm still waiting on his word as to whether I'm supposed to put colour in it, and what depth/number of colors, etc.

For those who are as retarded in Australian culture as I was/am, a lesson: Wombats are ridiculously hard to kill. Like, cockroach hard, except you can't resort to the heel of your foot. Australian roleplayers have a character archetype they call a Combat Wombat. Really it's a common archetype, massive defensive capabilities at the sacrifice of much real damage-dealing. They just have a much, much cooler name for it than anything I've heard in this hemisphere. And there you have it.

Sketched in blue mechanical pencil, and inked/cleaned up in Photoshop with a teensy 4x5" tablet, which will soon be replaced with a nifty 9x12" one!
