Description idea I had when thought about painting a lion! Sort of "what if there were big cats in northern areas?" or "what if norwegian forest cats evolved into bigger cats?"

Thought I'd put this as the original size, since I think my brush strokes on this are maybe fun to look at closer?

Oooo beautiful texturing! This totally popped out when I saw it the anatomy reminds me of a big cat from an otherworldly story I’m writing (but he’s got a tiger’s body with lynx ears and a mane around his neck that follows down his spine... With some alien details of course) .I love your depiction of a forest lion <3 and the colors are perfect for perhaps a mountain forest, like he lives near a waterfall or river and the terrain has a lot of brown tree trunks and rocks

I'd say his hindquarters look more canine than feline, but otherwise I like him, both the idea and the image.

Oh, do you mean the hind legs? Or the "lower back"? I tried to figure out the term but I'm not sure haha..
But thank you!

lapis-lazuri In reply to Kipine [2019-02-09 21:42:22 +0000 UTC]

Actually a bit of the both, but mostly the hind legs. Both the shape and the pose are more like canine. The legs in cats are "flatter" and they don't normally have such an outward movement, but keep their legs are rather narrowly together, so to speak, with paws oriented parallel to the body.

And you're welcome

Kipine In reply to lapis-lazuri [2019-02-09 21:49:10 +0000 UTC]

Ah, that makes sense. That's cool to know! I knew about how the legs kind of.. are more to the ground than with canines, but hadn't thought about the "keeping legs narrowly" think at all!
Thanks that you said about it!

It looks kinda like a mix between a lion and a wolf, perfect for a forest predator!

That it is.

I once had an idea for a sort of super big cat, one that was a mix between a lion, a tiger, a leopard, and a cheetah, but I never got around to it.

"Oh my, what long, skinny legs you have. What long, fluffy fur you have. What long, sharp, glistening teeth you have."

Uhm, I honestly just thought this up. I have a Norwegian Forest Cat as a pet, so... It looks exactly like this, expect for the lion part.

I legit forgot to think about those when I drew this ahahahah... But I guess my idea was more about Scandinavian northern areas (where I live) and here are only lynxes, which are a medium sized cat.
