Art done by  darknatasha commissioned by  KibaCheetah Link to the image - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9674624/

Image type and characters - Type A traditional drawing of a cheetah being eaten by a lion.

Why this image was chosen - When you come across a Dark Natasha drawing most people in the fandom will recognize her style right away. She has a flare that very few artists achieve and as a professional she really gets it when it comes to doing commissions with a high quality and what I consider to be a short time. In this picture we see a very well drawn Kiba running afoul of a hungry male lion who has decided that the cheetah has trespassed into his pride lands and takes matters in paw then mouth. The lion is amazing in this piece, big, menacing, well detailed, proper proportions with a rather ticked off look that says "You be mine now cheetah boy!" and by the looks of him it appears like he's probably done this kind of thing to intruders before. Natasha has drawn Kiba very well, the long hair, the worried face and the arms in a scratching, flailing position that makes it looks like he's clawing at the ground. His body looks quite right in the way Natasha has drawn his back bent up toward the pelvis as the lion pulls him back to swallow more of his waist. The drool, the teeth and a bit of tongue looks great in this well constructed scene with hints of shading and greyscale to create a nice overall effect. Due to the excellent quality, the positioning of the characters and the aforementioned overall effect I'm putting this image into the group's hall of fame.

Thanks so much for sharing this Kiba and well done again Natasha!
