This is beautiful! I love the subtle spotting on the coat, the details in the head and face, and the pose is very engaging--makes me want to know what caught her attention! Very cool concept

I've actually written a natural history alternative timeline about the American lion; its about what it would be like if the american lion had survived the Thaw.

Funnily enough, I'm doing a portrait of an atrox myself, an ink drawing, but it's a bit more stylized, and i t includes a mane....I hope it isn't too much of a stretch, I mean, to put a slight one. But then the fact that its taxonomy is a bit confusing to me is what prompted this.I mean, is it Panthera leo atrox or just Panthera atrox?

Well,as I said it's something of debate.Some scientists consider it a separate species and other classify it as a subspecies of Panthera leo.
The fact is its dentition and skeleton so much resembles those of modern lion but the size of animal and some minor differences in body and skull.Actually the skull is quite similar to a giant jaguar.
but more recent genetic studies showed that it was a sister species of Eurasian cave lion. So it would seem more probable that they had no mane.
I am looking forward to see your finished work of the Atrox.

Oh, well I scrapped the atrox in any case.Β It was a massive paper, not even directly able to fit in a scanner. But I did start on a Smilodon portrait
