"Beloved (The Leopard Wife)". Second of two images on papyrus with Egyptian themes. The original is much brighter and went to AC. (Thanks, Will! And thanks for the great tips on using markers with papyrus, KarenKat! I'll give it a try! :D) Colored pencil, Micron pen.

Celtic Lion II: Now in color! I hadn't painted since "Caerrick" and I had forgotten how much I LOVE to do it! I'm still a bit rusty, but I had fun. Pencil, gouache, colored pencil, micron pen, gold ink. Went to AC.

"The Honored One" (jaguar). For AC's art show, I continued with the theme of big-cat heads with him; his adornment is a mixture of Aztec, Olmec and Mayan influences. How did they keep those hats on? Glue? I am no master at pencil, but it's the medium I feel most confident with.

Lyosha and Skorzy: Two absolutely fantastic people! :D This pic was all Amy/Ly's idea (I'm glad it got to you guys in time)! Thanks for everything! Pencil, Photoshop 6.

"The Messenger (Cheetah)". One of two images on papyrus with Egyptian themes. The original is much brighter. (Thanks to Rowsby for some great suggestions - I'll try them next time! :D) Colored pencil, Micron pen.
