Description
I love how this illustration turned out. A mother and cub smilodon populator on a hunt. But the cub found a stick more entertaining.

There is a vibrancy to the piece that really makes it stand out and truly seems to bring to life the creatures that are now long gone right before the viewer's eyes. So often we see creatures like the Smilodon portrayed in extraordinary fashion doing things that make them seem singular and dramatic but seeing said creature simply walking through the grass with its adorable cub lends a sense of realism that would be lost in a more dramatic piece.
The plausible simplicity of the motions of the mother and cub truly is what gives this piece its life and when coupled with the artist's wonderful choice of color and shading makes these creatures seem as mundane and lively as an African lion or leopard on the Savannah. The attentiveness to little details such as the heavy spotting on the cub and the coloration of the eyes of both mother and cub all come together to lend itself to the sense of reality as if we really were observing a great cat stalking across the grassland.

As always, so meticulously detained and well-made.
