These are two sketches for my "some day far away it might be done"- Character Sheet for my fursona.
Due to the lack of photographs from the Pleistocene, I mainly orientated myself towards pictures from african lions but also used some very realistic pictures of the species itself. And after that I added two variations which are specific parts of the character design.
So if you want to show someone how cave lions looked a few thousand years ago, please don't use this sketch or more worked out versions of it because it would be factual wrong. The female lions didn't have such a short mane and the tail wasn't that fluffy.
