Illustration piece for Dhanne's ([link]) book series "Chronicles of Andaya". Here's a crappy translation of the description about the character (original text was in Finnish):

"Jarahle is a living legend in the land of Andaya. He is the worst fear of mesaians and the greatest hero of seyrunians. Jarahle is actually a legendary bear, which transofmed into a human 300 years ago, when mesaians took down his forest. Now the human-bear is living as a hermit in the dungeons of his Jarahle-mountain, but he also works as a counselor of kings. He bows to no-one."

Behold, the Finnish version!

"Jarahle on Andayan päällä elävä legenda, joka on mesaialaisille pahin kauhu, seyruunilaisille suurin sankari. Jarahle on oikeasti legendaarinen karhu, joka 300 vuotta sitten muuttui ihmiseksi kun Mesaialaiset kaatoivat karhun metsän. Nyt mieskarhu elää erakkona oman vuorensa Jarahle-vuoren uumenissa, mutta toimii myös kuninkaiden neuvonantajana. Hän ei kumarra kellekään."
