Barbarian Koala

A quick character sketch of a barbarian koala, made in Photoshop over an original black and white pencil drawing from my sketchbook. Inspired by classic barbarian archetypes but with a twist—more saturated colors and a broader palette than usual. The idea came to me right after hearing an aggressive koala scream, which made me imagine them as future apex predators. With their two opposable thumbs, maybe one day, after human civilization collapses, they'll rise as one of the dominant species!
