This was done today in a livestream. It was inspired by "Blacksad A Silent Hell" by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido through Dark Horse Books. The story and art are amazing and the animals are so well thought out as people. This spotted lady was inspired from the stripper scene in the second page of the story. The idea for me to do a colored version of her was inspired from watching MageOmega do livestreams of his art. (I advise watching his work over at Devianart)

That's a leopard, not a cheetah.
But she looks gorgeous either way.
