Okay, a little backstory to tell...

Yes, at one time I was looking to become highly active in the anthropomorphic community -- yes, I call it that, or Anthro for short. I REFUSE to use the other F-word to describe it (to me its a negative connotation). So back then, I was looking for an animal to best express my "avatar" or fuzzy-other being... trouble was/is, a lot of people were using the more common animal types; foxes, wolves, cats, even panda and dragons and other sundry.

Then, I came across snow leopards....

I was hooked on their natural beauty and their overall image in the animal kingdom. Being a rare and also endangered breed they were the best choice for me.

But, me being ME, I just couldn't be satisfied with your everyday, silver-gray-white-and-black coloration. I had to add a difference to set mine apart from all the other Snowies out there.

That's when it hit me!

Make my version of the Uncia uncia GOLDEN.

So, here's the general look of the color scheme for my Golden Snow Leopards Sun Leopards.

EDIT: Thanks to for suggesting the name change.

EDIT #2 : Now Sun Leopards have a subspecies name -- P. uncia phoebus.

Mind, my personal "avatar" was a male, not a female. This drawing was originally done for me by Dawn McKenna; who wanted to gift me with a pinup to practice coloring with.

What do you all think?

Colors by me.

The Sun Leopard is my creation. If you want to draw one yourself, please let me know and credit me back with a link to this deviation, please. Thank you!
