The king of Tredecia, the city of cats: Dinesh.
He's the father of one of the main antagonists of the story, and the grandfather of the main character. Kind king, little eccentric. Ends up murdered by his own spoiled daughter, Indra.
He's a King Cheetah... You can't tell that very well here.
I tried to portray him as being an elderly man; It wasn't easy for me. Took a while, I'm not 100% satisfied with the results, but I'm overall content with it. It looks much better in person.
Shading the jewels gave me a hand cramp like none other.
EDIT: Resized the image and tinkered with the contrast and colors. This should be the last one I edit.
ooh. very nice. ^_^ he certainly does look elderly. you did a good job with that. i wouldn't be able to do that in a million years. so. huzzah to you. and that story sounds interesting, i'd like to read it when it's finished. [unless it already is?]
OMFG...this is amazing __
the COLOURS! it's absolutly gorgeous. DEEP ENVY!
and he does look old, especially around the eyes...it's soo well done T_T
*loves it*
LOVE!
wow fabulous!! the colouring is so gorgeous
and he DOES look elderly, that's really hard to draw in anthros
king cheetahs are wonderful, I have a king cheetah chara myself, though she's not nearly as accurate as this
amazing work
Oh WOW Paula. This came out BEAUTIFULLY. O___O I can see why it took you so long! I admire your patience when it comes to coloring things. I would have gotten annoyed and just smeared some crappy shading and be done - which is probably why the "jewels" i draw don't look like jewels, like yours do!
His face is wonderfully done... he actually looks OLD. That's so hard to portray in a character, and you did it PERFECTLY. I love his headdress thing, and the way he has jewls in his hair. I like the way the black and white of the ears coallece... however you spell that... and his markings. GORGEOUS. His pretty dark eyes, those cute little pink lips. I love how skinny his fingers are, and the way you can see the skin around his claw tips.
BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. O___O

omg Paula...this is so beyond amazing...the detail..where do you find the patience? X3 im jealous of your patience! i dont think i could ever do this!
I agree with Jolyn, youve made him look old, and it suits him ownderfully, all the forhead wrinkles and lines under his eyes are really good effects...his eyes are beautiful, they are so deep looking and full of wisdom.
I love his jewels and omg, i cant get over the detail, i love how youve done each one speratly, and his eyesbrows and nails and : O HIS HANDS! they are so awsome! i suck so badly at hand Paula ; ; *cling* teach me your waaaayys!
