Panel Three is priceless! I have never seen a leopard on the verge of collapse before. Brilliantly done! And the cubs... Well, it's obvious they're feeling the heat despite Africa giving her all to shade them from the sun. But I admire the brother trying to keep the peace so Mom can concentrate. And it looks like he's on the verge of tears. That's a good way to keep his eyes wet, especially while walking in a hot. steamy desert.

We can only hope that the next page will provide some sort of oasis for our leopard family, so they can put their old life behind them. After all, I can't help but wonder if we'll get to meet the cub's father soon. She chose him over Chui, after all. Will he let them call him Dad? Or am I so eager to find out what happens next, that I'm jumping the gun, here?

What can I say? The story, and the drawings, are just that good.

Hello! Here again with another critique! I will say that you inspire me so much with your outstanding works and comic pages! Here, we're rushed into some very obvious heat, and it's very easy to see that not only are they exhausted, they need water, yet there's none around for miles, which adds to the drama and excitement, and the drive to read more! Another thing crossing my mind is the fact that Africa can be rough with her cubs, however, in these pages, she is shading her cubs from the sun, which I find to be very motherly, and shows the instinct that mothers feel to protect their children. The expressions and postures on this particular page are important too. Panels 1 and 3 show how tired Africa is by her head held low and her open mouth with furrowed brows. I love your works, and am seriously looking forwards to the next pages! You're amazing!

I love the shading effect you did on the cubs! So cute.

It is a fairly common name in Africa, and I do think that it has Arabic origins, yes

I don't know what it means in Arabic, it might be 'daughter' too, but it is daughter in Swahili

It's very hard to tell when you will be 'there yet' if your journey doesn't really have a final destination aside from 'someplace safe to raise your cubs'... Also, both cubs seem to be more grown in this page, in size as well as in attitude - well, it's mostly Mosi's attitude that's changed; I feel that he matured a lot.

DraconicVortex In reply to animationhero44 [2017-07-08 18:04:44 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking the same but its probably dangerous. There could be lions in the area, they hunt at dusk or Chui might be flanking them 😨

animationhero44 In reply to DraconicVortex [2017-07-08 18:09:22 +0000 UTC]

Actually a lot predators do hunt at dark so you're right. But I don't think lazy ass chui is going to chase after them. Someone would steal his hard stolen land.

One question: Mosi is an itty bitty kitty with ze muzclez. Do leopards have muscles like that when they're as young as he is?

ARVEN92 In reply to GibbyBree [2017-08-04 14:57:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Haha well, I imagined that he must have lost a few liquids recently and his muscles are showing through more at the moment. That's not necessarily a healthy sign for a cub though D:
