#325 - A Sphinx and Her Pet.

I orginally started this piece intending for it to be a quick speedpaint of Luke and Kira, but as soon as I got to Kira's fur I was like, pffffffftno I definitely was not going to get this done in any manner considered "speedy" without fucking things up. So I took my time on it.

( Here are two in-progress screenshots of this thing )

( Aaaaand here's the final! (with closeups) )

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I actually envisioned Kira as large enough in her sphinx form for Luke to ride comfortably on her back. But I was having problems with getting the proportions right, so I decided to stick close to the proportions of a real lion(ness) for the moment.
