Ebon Snow Leopard Conceptby `balaa

Scraps

Been stuck on snow leopards lately, not entirely sure why..might just be the cool environments they live in and the fact that its hotter than heck where I am. Also I have an odd fascination with melanistic animals, particularly when it occurs in felines, ie black tigers/reverse tigers, panthers etc...so I thought..well chances are it could probably occur in snow leopards as well but since the odd pigmentation would be a detriment to the survival of the cub, it probably would not live to adulthood in the wild. But what's to stop my imagination? why not create a black snow leopard just for the fun of it?? So I decided I would, just to paint something for myself. He needs a name, I have been stuck On Zion, but that seems awkwardly cliche so I may change it.

Here is the concept sketch. The actual painting is in the works as we speak and hopefully I will unveil it within the next few weeks

Nothing wrong with nudity. All mammals have reproductive bits. Nothing sexual about drawing them in a clean, tasteful way. It's unfortunate that people perceive it as such. Anyways, beautiful drawing! Awesome job on the muscle tone.

To be honest though, he is quite cute XP
