Taking into consideration how difficult it is to tackle traditional media, the methods used in this page are astonishing and precise. The image is clear, and cheerfully colorful!
I greatly appreciate the blend of colors over just using the common flat color technique. The mixture of black, brown, and even a hint of gold used in the dark patches of the African wild dogs is great! I love how the white fades into
yellow in Binti's fur; Her kiss-shaped spots are quite lovely to look at as well! Your use of blue/purple in your characters' shadows instead of using the classic grey or black is wonderful, and the glimmer in your characters' eyes is a good touch as well.
I've noticed that in the third panel a bit of green has escaped to the tip of Maua's tail, and a bit of brown has breached the line art of Fikra's shoulder in the last panel, but I'm not here to be picky.
I love how in the third panel, you've used different thickness of lines to determine distance between the characters. Many artists neglect to do this, and it's a little bit dissatisfying to see characters at different distances with the same line thickness... Blech!
The backgrounds of the panels seem to be minusculely bland, but I understand that the main focus of the page are the characters and their individual charm. I also must admit, how the brush fades from greens to dark blue is quite beautiful.
Overall, the dynamic poses and facial expressions of your characters are fantastic, and I had a little bit of a chuckle seeing how the "yap" bubbles were used for the wild dogs as they hunted Binti. Very clever indeed!
The barrage of colors are warm and pleasant, and the initial artwork is en pointe.
This piece (and the majority within your gallery) prove that you are no mere amateur artist, and I must express my gratitude for all of the passion, and hard work you pour into your artwork.
I expect great things in your future.
Keep it up!

'Wild dogs are some of the most successful hunters in Africa. 80% of their hunts end with a kill. Binti is one lucky kitty.' And here I hoped that the pups' parents would be friendly.

Wild dogs are one of the most successful hunters. Servals (and caracals, I think) are also very successful, despite cats often being unsuccessful in hunts.
But do you know which animal is the most successful hunter in the world?
It's none other than...the dragonfly!
I don't remember the exact percentage, but its successful hunts is about 92-98% of the time, in other words, almost all of its hunts end in a prey.
Not surprising, given their incredible speed, agility, balance and reflexes, plus their amazing sight. They can see a lot more pictures pr. second than us humans, maybe hundreds more. They can actually see the world in a slow-motion way, predicting the movements of its prey, resulting in its almost perfect hunting.
Dragonflies are my favorite type of insect, because of its beautiful colors, unique appearance, large size, incredible speed and hunting, as well as being friendly towards humans. They don't sting or bite (at least not as far as I know, with biting), so one can safely watch these incredible creatures without the fear of either things happening to oneself.
Plus, they do kinda look like dragon versions of flies.

My dad actually got bit by a dragonfly that had landed on his knee once, and he said it really hurt
But they are amazing creatures, and my favorite insect as well! Wild dogs are one of my favorite African animals, too!

Whaaaat??? Maybe it just had taste for human flesh XD
African dogs are very pretty, I've liked them since I was little
I loved playing Trolden Hugo when I was little, there is an Africa game with him where you run through the savannah and avoid the dangerous wild animals while using others for moving on. There's also a part where you spot and identify African animals, and among them are the Marabou Stork and the African Wild Dog!

AWWW---That was the cutest and most sweet "narrow escape from death" I've ever seen!
Both your statements are right. Binty is a super lucky kitty, and Fikra is an awesomely nice wild dog pup!
Excellent page, wonderful anatomy and sense of motion and expression: you never dissappoint us, dear Arven! ^^
Keep up the wonderful art!

Saved by the pups! That could be a debt to remember down the road, where it could defuse a situation.

Thank goodness Binti is getting out safe.
I could see those pups did that on purpose, they really do care about her.

Is that a butthole I see on the parent in the 3rd panel and Binti in the 4th panel? /feeling mature.
I'm loving the 1st panel, the line weight and Binti's expression are fantastic. I wonder when Binti will clean that lake water off of herself..?

Poor Biniti keeps getting in more trouble. I hope the pups will save her from the parents till Africa can find her.
