My characters, the cheetah Ti’maar and his african wild dog girlfriend Tatt’khaa ^^
They both command separate armies in the Wolf Alliance, so they don’t get to see each other very often. When they are finally reunited after months apart, they are sure to make the most of their time together.

They are both Paladins, which means they have been chosen as primary heirs to the heads of their family houses known as the Alphas. Though they are chosen as Paladins shortly after reaching adulthood, they are trained from early childhood for military leadership as they are from their species ruling houses in the Wolf Alliance. They also have seats with their parents, the Alphas, on the Wolf Alliance council.

Here they are meeting as the Wolves, Cheetahs, and AWDs are participating in an upcoming joint siege of an enemy city near the end of the Be’vaal Civil War. This drawing is set earlier in the same week as the drawing I did previously named Battle Planning https://www.furaffinity.net/view/42657996/

This drawing was heavily experimental, as I am searching for a style to work on my upcoming webcomic in (why my previous post was a sketch version of this.) But overall, it’s mostly a refinement of my process with more deliberate choices made in areas. I thought I was quite sure this is how I wanted to make my comic, but it took so long to color I’m not so sure anymore haha. Perhaps I’m just rusty. I’m also playing with the idea of black and white with some sort of greyscale, but I really want it in color. Just not sure it’s worth the massive time cost, especially when I don’t enjoy coloring all that much. Either way, I’ll be doing further experiments in the coming months ^^

I worked on this because I was getting sick of scriptwriting and needed a break. (Plus, it has been over 2 years since I made a personal illustration!) I basically worked on the comic script in all my free time for over a month, and just wanted to draw lol. The writing on the main story is coming along very well. In addition, the prologue script is complete. I’m still really excited to work on the comic as I talked about in my last Journal, though it will still be some time before I even begin (and many months after that before I post the first pages.) I also plan on doing quite a bit of concept art ahead of time, but what of that I will post is yet to be seen.
