Description For all the animal that Actual is, there is not a doubt that he still somehow remains almost human in a vague, near familiar way.



My personal character, the one who I affiliate most with and consider unique unto me as an individual rather than a creation or character of mine, Actual is a true member of Smilodon, through and through. While unique in a few regards, such as coloration and markings, or even the partial furred crest, I am fairly certain his fictional representation is close enough to the ideals of the animal. It certainly helps as well that within his fiction he is an entirely constructed organism, but I digress.

This is a finely detailed reference piece that was produced by the talent of RogueLiger.

Beautiful.  I love the Smilodon.  I wonder what they actually looked like, with skin and fur, I mean.  By that, I mean, were they striped?  Were they spotted?  Were they tawny/lion yellow?  Did they have manes, like lions or were maneless like the rest of the felines?  So many questions about them and so few real answers.

I have had several portrayals of Smilodon using various coloration, pattern and camouflage, and the more atypical - such as this piece - are those I am fond of. Felines have no shortage of exotic but surprisingly effective natural concealment, which to me made this combination possible. That said, while this is unlikely and as is Argent Fatalis' pattern, I believe they are still fair representations of what these lost sabertooths could have had potentially.

Thank you for commenting, and I could not agree more on the entire topic and its mysteries.

I too agree.  There aren't very many answers, but we can all still dream about it.  I like this image a lot.

What you see among my gallery is entirely commissioned, as I am not an artist myself.

I needed a character similar enough in design, but distinct enough not to be mistaken for Argent Fatalis. It is great news to know you think so.

I appreciate the credit, but RogueLiger was the artist - I will be sure he knows you enjoy the piece. Thank you for commenting.
