Nettle and Bone

A teeny painting of Bone dog from "Nettle and Bone" by T. Kingfisher. His anatomy is looking a little uh, a little off, but I feel like that only enhances the book accuracy of him.

My wife got her copy of the book signed at Rose City and was kind enough to take this with her to the signing so I could, from a distance, fling this art at a creator I very much admire.

@zim-card​ apologies for the long wait but I made a prospector’s bone dog origin kinda. the dog wasn’t always a bone dog after all! in fact, they were a normal fleshy bloodhound for would follow the prospector with friendly barks, dive into the lake for the fish that swam around and give the best-tackling hugs to everyone around! they were also a great heater for cold windy days and tend to make the others take a break for several hours with their amazing method of sitting on their laps. who would have the heart to move a cute large dog for work?

of course, good things don’t last forever and good dogs certainly don’t. all must come to an end eventually after all. the prospector was especially devastated.  

a favor from Kaycee doesn’t come often and with a little magic and the good dog is back from the dead :D

Mycologist would totally borrow our favorite bone dog for a classic villain with a cat bone dog bit.

they are still the best hugger even when boney and Kaycee needs a hug.

bonus!
