Artist's comment:

Bloody Hoof pointed down the alley at a male zebra who was walking toward a parked coupe. "Doghouse!" The stallion roared as he and his 2 looming meat shields bore down on the zebra. "Yu worthless piece of shit! I don't know how yu did it, but I know yu some how tipped off the coppers about my shipment! Yu've been a rock in my fucking hoof fer too long! "

Doghouse Diamond turned 90 degrees and looked at the glaring pony with confused expression. Casually his right hand reached into his coat pocket.

"Bloody buddy! What's gotta ya worked up?" He puffed on his cigarette a couple times. "What shipment? Ya know I keep my nose out yer business!"

The mobster and his heavies came to a halt 20ft from the zebra. "Yur not talking yurself out of this one! How did yu find out about it? Tell me and I might not toss yur worthless hide into the bay!"

The zebra shook his and looked at accuser with shock, but in his mind he thought.

I've seen the movie before, and I know how it ends. Might as well jump to the ending!

With his left hand he slowly removed his fedora and brought down near his waist which hid his right hand slowly the zebra withdrew his .32 automatic from the coat pocket.

"Bloody! I swear I don't know what ya're saying. This is all a mistake!"

This is commission for Ely Wynn. The character is anthropomorphic version of his zebra Doghouse Diamond. He's your classic Hard-Boiled/Film Noir, gumshoe detective. This is the story that popped into my head as I worked on the drawing.
