Another personal character... Who I was for some reason reluctant to post but I like her and I wanna draw her more. She's a maned lioness!
I had been wanting to make a maned lioness character ever since I discovered it was a thing that could happen (last year???) and then last month I felt a personal connection with one at the San Francisco Zoo. As a result Jadey was born!
Her facial markings are based off lioness at the zoo. Here's a bad photo I took of her when she came into the lion house for the keeper talk and TREATS!

And her mane is based off of a combination of that pretty lady as well as this badass lady:

With my own flair, obviously.
She's a stubborn, tough, no-nonsense kinna gal. Doesn't take shit from anyone and is passionate about her feelings and beliefs. I hope to develop her more soon!
