Description
11’ x 14” color pencil
She is an Iberian lynx, a critically endangered species. I thought I knew a lot about cats and thought I knew all the species but I had never heard of an iberian lynx till I started the project last weekend. The iberian lynx used to be considered a lynx sub species but in recent years, has been classified as a separate species. They are native to only the iberian peninsula. Last count I could find shows only about 300 left in the wild.
At birth, her father wanted to call her Onyx because of her jet black hair that glistened like onyx. Her mother wished to call her Jade because of her rare green eyes. She got both.
Kitties in trees, bows and arrows, and big green orbs, all popular subjects, so I combined them in hopes of something popular X 3. :)
Yeah, yeah, bow is being held weird, what can I tell you, this started out as a simple purdy pin-up and I ended up with this. I will be picking at this for the next week or so.
She will be in the MFF 2014 art show but NFS.
This is just a photo and has lost a lot of detail resolution. I’ll get a good scan later and repost.
I’d never have come to make this had kellicjtiger not posted a lynxish drawing I did on a table covering last year at MFF. That one will be for sale at the MFF charity auction this year.
Critique/comments always welcome.
