I framed one for a gift.

In the fantasy world my son is writing, this is the apex predator: the Behemoth.

At 5 meters high to the shoulder, a Behemoth is very dangerous to all but the most wary and best-armed parties of wanderers in the wilderness.

It hunts on the forests and plains, and is both an ambush predator (using its shaggy fur as camouflage, it can squeeze its bulk into surprisingly narrow spaces) and a very effective endurance hunter, chasing prey down; its six legs give it an advantage over rough terrain. The creature uses its front legs alternately to run and to grab at prey. 

Experienced Wanderers may be able to detect the presence of a Behemoth before it is too late by the cries of the scavenging birds that always follow this predator around, hoping for scraps.

He looks a bit too cute to be a terrifying predator.

That's just what it wants you to think!

... sadly, I'm not yet capable of drawing in any style that is not cartoony.

Your son's behemoth reminds me of the sort of creature that inhabits the world of Tekumel, the old but wonderful RPG setting: http://www.tekumel.com/

This is exactly the sort of thing he'd love!

I think so. For example, here's a depiction of one of the creatures from the game (which follows its description...)

I'm restarting my playing card project. I didn't like the pattern I made for the number cards, so I'm trying something different.

Here's the ten of hearts, new pattern:
