Here's the first* of several sketches portraying the reason why she's known as "...of the Lions". It was important to me that the lions be as important to the series as Leenah herself; hence the "telepathic" rapport I posit she has with them that keeps them from being mere "pets" or "servants". What this (and the other drawings of its kind) taught me was that I needed a lot more practice drawing lions!

*Well, the first on this gallery... it's more than likely not the first "Leenah with lion" drawing I actually did.
