A little while ago, I went to check up on an artist that I was a fan of, called SierraEx. Sadly, it appears that they have deleted their Furaffinity account, along while all of their artwork of a particular character: Arika, the burned jackal. Distraught, I made this animation as a tribute to her and the character, please enjoy.

FuN FaCtS:

-Arika is (was) owned and created by SierraEx

-The chopped down tree is meant to symbolizes SierraEx deleting her account.

-Her outfit is based on a piece of lost artwork that you can no longer find outside of the Wayback Machine.

-The human's outfit was based on James Earl Cash's outfit from manhunt

-MS paint couldn't open the very file it was designed to open 3 times during the making of this animation

-Arika was originally supposed to be playing a guitar. She would have been playing the opening riff to the song, Goodbye almond eyes by early 2000's pop-punk band, Tokyo Rose. I decided not to have her play the guitar because SierraEx never drew Arika playing the guitar. Arika does however like to read, which is why she is reading a book.

-The statues in the water were inspired from Skyrim.

-Originally, the human was supposed to cup Arika's cheek. I didn't like how that looked so I decided the he should pet her head instead. When that also turned to looking like ass, I figured that I'd just have the human hug Arika.

-Yes, I did just copy the hug from one of my Underdurst comics, specifically Underdurst 25: All Gone...

-I started this project on March 17th if I remember correctly.

-I make these animations by drawing the frames in Microsoft paint, then I copy and pasting them into Clipchamp studio, hens why they're so stilted and why there are so many errors.
