I’ve been wanting to get back into anthro art for a while now, so here’s an Indonesian babirusa that I painted between working on commissions. This guy is based off of the Buru or golden babirusa in particular, which is only found on the Maluku and Sula Islands, and is depicted performing a traditional Malukun war dance called the cakalele.
