Also, I did actually paint the sheets but used a posterize effect on them which is why they look like that if anyone is curious. And the background is a total theft of Leyendecker, 'cause I wish I could paint with a 10th of his savoir faire.

A commission for pumafgt of his character Django. He's a MEOWntain-Lion <3 And as we all know, the world needs more cougars.
