Beautiful build; definitely the sort of fur I'd like to have on my side in a fight - or in the sack before and afterwords. I'll think about a name for him. He deserves a good one.

From the moment that I saw him, Conan popped into my mind and has stubbronly remained. Not as a name, but as a character. He reminds me of Mark Schultz's illustration for Howard's first Conan novel, "The Phoenix on the Sword." link:

Phoenix is a promising name, especially if this feline's curiosity gets him into all sorts of disasterous situations, from the ashes of which, he always manages to arise.

How about Cimmeron? Robert E. Howard was vacationing in or near Cimmeron New Mexico in 1932 when he conceived of Conan of Cimmeria, and wrote a poem called Cimmeria.

Lots of possibilities there.

Wow, that's pretty cool, the conan movie soundtrack was actually in my playlist while drawing this, guess it kinda helped inspire it. My biggest dilema on this right now is do I want to do it in rough pencil shading, or a rough, rugged lined colored pencil

Which ever way you decide to do it, I'll be looking forward to seeing it. Interesting comment about the Conan sound track...
