Inspired by Enya's song, "Storms in Africa," and dedicated to my dear friend Rew who loves marozi's. A marozi is a real animal, by the way, and is a cross between a lion and a leopard. Granted, these generally are not the colors of a marozi. Anyways, I've been working on this for 3-4 weeks now between commissions while waiting on customers to reply and on my "commission day off," which is Sunday, and which is why it took me so long to do. That mane...those spots... gah. Took me forever to paint! Also, he's clawing into a hoof print in the ground, but that did not show up too well. Note: I did use wolfy-nail's piece "Reactiv(colored)" for help with referencing the pose and foreshortening. However, I altered the pose a bit to my liking.
