#african leopard

In absolute me fashion upon realizing I will have only three more days of access to my drawing supplies for a while I started the new project I planned instead of finishing an old one so here we are.

Findekáno is the bigger leopard who is grooming Findaráto's leopard. Russo, who is probably very welcomed to join is instead pinning from close distance and unable to bc he will melt in the literal sense of the word as well as do it only mentally. He is a very silly elf.

Yes, Finno is absolutely grooming Ingo, I spent an hour to find a reference and I must note the grooming again. The grooming was essential part of my idea bc Mr Hair-Commander must be easy to identify and what else is hair commanding if not grooming when it comes to cats. (I know, I'm being very clever.)

I might revisit this piece to actually give it the background it deserves (Russo's nest) when I actually have time to do so.

Russo has a stripe on his right ear (his mating bite from Ingo is on that side) and Ingo has a spot on his left ear (on the side Russo's bite is). I'm really proud of this decision. (Edit: it is purely coincidence about their forms bc otherwise Russo and Finno should get one more spot/stripe)
