Description


 

Mother of all cubs. Singer of the Traditions. The living and loving memory of the Pards, Akhala is the elder of the Black Maned lion pride and one of the most influential of the Pards. The lionesses have always been the prominent strength of the Pard: they are the best teachers and many are the Pards from others bloodlines that come to seek help, guidance and counsel to manage their Beast. There is a saying "Whoever controls the Lionesses, controls the Pard" and it is very true, but Akhala is not one to be controlled that easily despites the many attempts made by Lundrim to destabilize her or her people.

She is a true neutral force, she does care about one single thing: protecting the Pards. She and her daughter Akhane are living with Deyandar and doing their very best to counteract Lundrim's twisted plans of using the Pards to gain power.

She has lived through many a sorrow and as many joys, and has kept her caring, comforting nature true to this day. She is a mother, she is The Mother, the patient teacher, the fresh hand that chases the nightmares, the singing voice in the evening, yet mistaking her gentleness for weakness would be a great mistake as she has control not only on her Beast, but is also able to control the savagest impulses of the Pards nearby, dimming and dulling to no existence any attempt to attack.

Unlike Deyandar, she has a great sense of humour and does appreciate Baireï rascally's ways, they are actually quite close even if she does not trust him in some aspects. He jokingly calls her "auntie dear" and has brought Katy to her when it was visible he wasn't a fit teacher for the stubborn girl.

THIS! omg, you're incredible. Impressive as always. I'm really impress by the way you are able to put into the image what you want and imagine (or what you've seen in a picture) with such realism and attention to details. That capacity you have to capture what reality looks like and bring it back on screen is amazing. I mean it!
That you used a reference or not is beside the point (I've seen people use references and it didn't give anything close to this!!!).
Like in many of your portraits, the skintones are perfectly mastered (not only the right palette, but also the good shades at the right place). The characters you draw in this style look ALIVE and HUMANS. Like we could cross them on the street! Like they are flawed, yet beautiful at the same time. I envy that capacity you developped of making them look so human, so unique, so filled with life.

wow thank you so very much! very encouraging! I did put a lot of time into this one. I worked with about 5 difference face references and then changed eye color and hair to go with the description of the character. I have to hand it to spadiekitchenqueen because she always puts together a very good file for me to work from. We both love beautifully flawed characters and I think that's why we've done some good work together this one for sure awakened my love for older characters, and I hope to do more of them really soon. thanks for the kind words

thank you and right you are. I was glad when I saw this dress because I knew it would be impressive to draw with the contrasting stitching and the laces. Its not exactly the same but at a glance it is. I like doing characters with age because I feel like it ads realism to them, and you don't see as many old women in fantasy.

Truly wonderful detail on the face and clothes! The image shows her character traits very well, a wise teacher, a person with a sense of humour: well done.

I spent a lot lot of time on this one. I have a thing for drawing older people especially older women. I feel like older women are often forgotten and undervalued and not celebrated.
