Despite the cruel teeth, the face looks gentle and a bit sad all over.

Yes, for a change. Most of them depicted look cruel.

Yeah, I'm actually drawing a Gorgonopsian with it snarling at the viewer, and, as a little bit of in-pic text, it says,
"If you see the teeth this close...
YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD"

It looks more reminiscent to Inostrancevia Alexandri. Very exquisite facial details on this drawing.

Thanks. It is Inostrancevia alexandri. The jaw muscles were drawn based on Kemp's article about morphology of gorgonopsian skulls.

What's really cool about the gorgonopsids is that they have a feature that would be found later in prehistoric mammals like Smilodon...SABER TEETH!
