Description Another one of those "toned paper" sketches! ^^ This one took like twice as long as the last, thanks to all the detail... but she is a newer character I have wanted to draw for quite a while now XD
Prints available here! --> titusweiss.com/store/print-nik…

__________

[Lore]
Her name is Alpha Nika'maar, the mother of my characters Ti'maar and Lue'maar, and co-Alpha/mate with Alpha Ra'maar. ^^ As I have mentioned before, the Be'vaal don't have marriage, they just are mates with whoever they want Some races tend to have only one mate at a time and for a long time, others have many. But when it comes to leadership, every race has two Alphas (a male and a female) resembling a marriage. (Both of them hold an equal amount of power in their kingdom) They continue their house by passing on the role of Alpha to one of their children as a Paladin, either a male or female (in their case Ti'maar was chosen as the house Paladin). Then they have a co-Alpha mate chosen from the Paladin through an elaborate process (contests and such ) Ra'maars father was the Prime Alpha of house 'maar and when it was (then Paladin) Ra'maars turn to rule Nika'Daak was chosen. She came from one of the leading military families, a warrior house, and she continues in their ways. 

Alpha Nika'maar leads a separate army from Alpha Ra'maar consisting of several races, and has done so for almost two decades throughout the Canid-Felid Civil War. She loves warfare and blood and all that fun stuff, and especially loves joining the battles herself. She tends to be quite violent and sadistic, and that is where Lue'maar probably gets his ways from She loves everything about the fight haha (she is so cool, and scary). She isn't the type of person you want to pick a fight with, or be owned by haha

Which brings me to another point I don't think I have discussed, the 60/40 rule. (This one is subject to change because i just came up with it and havent thought it though very well haha. So maybe disregard this part )
The Be'vaal don't care much about the differences in sex between males and females. For them it falls more into dominant/submissive (kind of like masculine/feminine I guess?) roles. Though it depends on the race as well, roughly 60% of males, and 40% of females could be considered naturally on the dominant side, whereas 40% of males and 60% of females more on the submissive side. This has plenty of implications, but it means they are all on pretty equal footing when it comes to roles in society. So you have plenty of females like Nika'maar who love to fight and do things more aggressive. Also out of all of the soldiers, about 60% are male and 40% are female.

I realize I don't draw many female characters I have them, I just rarely draw them haha. I really prefer drawing guys I promise I'll try to draw more girls haha

Let me know what you think!

I wish I was this good at drawing anthro cats

Query are all big cat species presant in your world
If so are there smilodons
My fursona is a smilodon though my species's females don't have the massive fangs body features are similar in both male and female
Aside from obvious mammalian female anatomy males are thicker and appear stronger though a female is capable of similar feats that put some of our best warriors to shame
Females are more agile as well turning any melee fight a dance more than it is combat

Great work btw

Ooh, it's Ti'maar's mom! Funny how I didn't even think of her even though we were introduced to Ti's brother and father. Well, seems that she is a true leader on par with her husband! I simply love her sword - I imagine it's a weapon that can be used to hack and stab more often than to slash, and the blades over the crosspiece would add to the havoc. Very detailed armor she has, too - great work on the legwear!

I like the sword design. I've seen that sort of "armorbreaker" design before but they've usually been unpractically large.
With a tip like that the sword will have enough mass to be effective against any armor except plate anyway.

A nice piece. Reminds me of some of the old school (bear in mind that I was born in the eighties so the sixties-seventies are old school to me) comics I used to read as a kid at the school library.

She looks amazing, Titus! I love the detail in her armor! I also like how I could tell she was female just by the shape of her face. Pretty cool to see a warrior mom!  I just hope she has more morals than her son.

Thank you, TEK! ^^
I'm glad you can tell! It's super hard to make them realistic in style and be able to tell still! I still think I can work on that haha
Warrior moms are awesome XD And she does thankfully! She is older and far more mature than the wild and immature Lue' (even if she loves killing )

Indeed! It can be tricky! Personally I can't tell the difference between any real cat male and female at first glance XD Makes sense the anthros would be hard to tell if wearing lots of clothes haha

Hello:
 As soon as I read she likes to fight and is sadistic, I knew she is Lue'maar's mom .

 Very nice design, I like armour (and has modelled nipples and boobies XD )...  Ialso like how your characters, males and females, are more feral-like as they don't have hair styles (something I have been dealing about somewhat).

TitusW-Archive In reply to Chiletrek [2018-03-27 01:41:35 +0000 UTC]

Haha that's awesome XD 

Thank you! (haha indeed it does, they aren't very helpful tho I'm sure) And I used to make them have hair when I first started with anthros! Then I decided I liked the realistic look more (Plus they are easier to draw haha)

Chiletrek In reply to TitusW-Archive [2018-03-27 01:54:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah .

You are welcome . I know what you mean really, I sue hair to help differentiate though... but I don't exagerate it.

Before reading lore:
I bet she’s the kind of character we’re supposed to admire when she first appears: Quick-witted, tough, and honorable (to a point, of course: honor only gets people so far, unfortunately)...

You know, before she lowers herself to her enemy’s level and shatters any respect we have for her as a person. At least if that were to happen, it’d mean more empathy from the reader for Ti’maar, as I’m sure it would affect him too.

After reading lore:
*sigh* Like mother, like bloody, deplorable son.

Nice culture lesson, though, even if it is still in development!

TitusW-Archive In reply to Dukurow [2018-03-27 01:36:20 +0000 UTC]

Haha she is all of those things! She just enjoys killing a little too much to be healthy She usually even prefers to kill people that aren't innocent or defenseless.... usually 
She's far more mature than crazy Lue' though haha. Even Lue' is nice most of the time, when you aren't his slave or enemy or perceived to be lower then him XD

Thank you! XD I need to refine it haha

Dukurow In reply to TitusW-Archive [2018-03-27 04:13:57 +0000 UTC]

That’s the thing, though - “if he’s perceived to be lower than them”. Oppressive upper class much? No wonder they have to stifle rebellions - they give people a damn good reason for wanting something better!
