The first ever picture of the feral were-lion version of MaxLion. :3

For those who don't know, MaxLion is the new FORM of my main fursona. So, the idea behind the were-lion part of MaxLion is that he's a LITTLE different then MaxCoyote's beast form.

"Beast Lion" is actually just a feral version of MaxLion. I also decided to not have his eyes white over cause he's a very warm character. Not angry like Beast Max. In fact, I do believe he's asking for belly rubs. :3

Were-lion Max transforms in full moonlight. A very traditional were-creature. Not triggered by anger like the coyote. Were-lion Max also LOVES to bathe in the moonlight. After he transforms, the full moon becomes as warm as the mid-day African sun. Once a month he spends just lounging on the roof, enjoying the full moon light. Which is the basis of this commission. :) The light in the upper right corner is supposed to be the warm soothing light of the full moon. :3

I also decided to give him eyes. I ended up loving how warm and playful eyes can make him look. The white blank eyes just makes him look evil. Which is great for beast Max, but not for the lion. :3 Everything about MaxLion is positive as a character. I want a warm, cuddlable kitty side of Max to show it's self with this form. :3

WHY are you still reading this?!?! GO rub his belly silly!!! He's such a good kitty, he deserves it. :3

Thanks once again to Dagger who did an amazing job as always. SHe's become my favorite artist period. :D :D :D
