    The movement in this is so cool, both in the human figure and the representation of the cliff face. It reminds me a lot of Bird in Space.

    Edit: oh, I just zoomed in and saw the petroglyphs at the bottom! What a neat detail to have added.

    Looked like a wolf furry at first glance and thought “who the fuck tricked the national park supervisor into thinking it wasn’t a werewolf” lol
