Inspiration: "Heavy Is The Crown" - Daughtry

Allow me to introduce Simba Clint Catstone - son of the youngest of the Old Guard, and Heir to a legacy he fears he cannot uphold.

In the world Simba lives in, leadership of the island's cats is not simply passed down. His father, Sunny, fought to gain it, and now, Simba must fight to keep it. He has to prove, through might and wisdom, that he is worthy of the title his father created. That he is, until the day he dies, the Catstone King.

From an artistic point, I am really pleased with this piece. It's the first time in a long time I've felt like I captured the character as I see them. Simba is about a year old here, as he does get stockier with age.
