posting this here to share and take criticism, advice, etc. this is one of my first times attempting to draw a big cat (in this case a black panther x lion ) and fitting liodens' art style. I do think the paws/legs are too bulky, and im debating on whether to add the leaves/teeth into the rope collars or not... anyways, enjoy! I'll be posting wips throughout the process.

Basic colors/rendering



WORKING ON: Detailed rendering, fixing lineart, tweaking colors/markings (more visible), fixing rope accessories (they're fit weirdly)

* This is of one of my favorite ocs, Usika Fangheart (usika is based off of the swahili word for night, usiku)
* I used many real-life and in-game photos as references for things like proportions, teeth, paws, etc.
