inspired by David Weber's "A Beautiful Friendship"
Originally I was going to draw the cat only as cel art, but the drawing seem to want to done as a painting. So instead of being finished it is now a work-in-progress.
Your art influenced French cover artist Genkis [link] note the net bag on Climbs Quickly. Note longer fingers and limbs on his treecats, I like your shorter squirrel limbs personally
I like this however, Climbs-Quickly [Lion-hart] is a male treecat thus should be gray with darker stripes with cream belly. Treecats are described as having a thinner weasel like body. You might show the un-tubed tail as story in summer. Revisit your Furry Surprise tail.
