A great artististic freedom commission from   anubiiswerewolf go give his gallery a look, lots of fun goin on there.

Love all the work with light and shadow. Such a great pose and setting.

The light up ahead reveals a large lion centaur creature, sitting reared up on his hindquarters, by a large campfire.
Just sitting there the muscular beast must be over 12 feet tall.
The massive creature fixes his eyes upon you, somehow seeing you through the darkness and the dense jungle, the predator's unblinking gaze is upon you, moments tick by, and then... It speaks!
"Well, travellers, it has been a long time since I have encountered any wanderers here.
You are out alone in these woods?

You are lost I take it.
Please come join me by the fire.
You have nothing to worry about here...from me...
Sit down and warm yourselves, I'll tell you about these woods you wander, and what lurks in the deepening shadows...
You'll likely want to keep close to the fire..."
