Well not one soul said anything about my last part, where I asked for species ideas. But I guess I'm posting to an empty crowd now that Gale's gone. :/ While I worked on this today, I was actually /really/ excited, and I hope to make this lioness the replacement for my dino-gal. Some might notice this fur's eyes are the same color Gale's body was in memory! <3

Anyway. Inspired by my mothers favorite animal, and a protective spirit through a long story. Zarina is the Templar from the previous post, this is her headshot, still a work in progress, but it gets her basic shape and what I want to see in her down. I'm quite proud of how she came out thus far, the eyes, face, and hair are my favorite areas; the ears, mouth and fur pattern are still weak areas I'm trying to improve upon.

Zarina is the most zealous of her order, but also the most ridiculed because of her near insatiable appetite and her rather large figure for one called a Knight. She is almost never seen out of her armor, and often she is less ferocious once her helmet is removed. (Like here, she's blushing slightly at a comment about her size!) You guys will be seeing a lot more of this feline warrior about, as she battles her foes, Azurra the fallen, and her hunger!!! <3

Please feel free to comment, critique, etc.
