A jackal and a tiger

Wow I've had this forever. I was waiting until the end of R4 to post it to avoid anything potentially spoilerish, but then I kept forgetting. |D Though he's not an actual jackal, they did inspire aspects of Aureus's design, hence the title. These were actually two unrelated sketches done at separate times, but then I thought to put them next to each other and it worked. = D I'm not sure about the height/size difference; this is just sort of a rough estimate. Scale is hard. I also forgot what else I originally planned to write.
