Buddy Challenge-DAC

This is for 's Buddy Challenge. Every week they have a challenge. I just joined, so I figured I'd do one.

This week's is the buddy challenge. [link]

I decided to draw a buddy for Topaz, since I was flipping through my agenda book at school (that's why those lines are in the drawings) , thinking about who to draw a buddy for and the most recent drawing I found was of her.

The buddies are supposed to make up for the weaknesses of the first character, so I figured Topaz's buddy should be an aquatic animal (since Topaz can't swim) and not lose her cool easily (since Topaz has a very short temper). So I settled on a mink. I've decided to call her Citrine, since citrine and topaz are both gems, and are both yellow/gold/orange in color.

Critique not desired.
