Katai and Asha: Pinned Ya

It's been TOO long since I last posted something here, so I figured I'd post some of my latest stuff.

This is a later version of this pic: [link] I honestly and seriously hate that picture. Katai is waaaay too small, and Asha's ears look waaaay too oversized. (Plus, the pose looks weird, wonky and dodgey.) :/ Anyhow, I'm extremely pleased with the way this turned out. I think Asha looks like a proper lioness now, and Katai doesn't look quite as stupid as he did before.

Asha and Katai are mates by the way, and Asha is the mother to Jaini which I'm assuming you guys have seen a picture of him before. On this pic they seem to be taking a evening out with eachother in the Pridelands, hence Pride Rock in the background.
