Still hashing out ideas, but I think the general idea will be a protector and leader of nature's creatures.

Out of a lot of scribbles I came up with something I'm enjoying a bit. Still need to add more of that feeling of being a pack leader. Open to suggestions.

Still messing around with some of the elements that really sell the story of being the leader, I think I like the horn, a way to call to arms so to speak. I think I'll play around with showing they're all a family. maybe add some familiar markings to them to tie it all together thematically.
