Artwork Text Description: Digital illustration of an anthro-furry bevaal cheetah named Lue’maar and his identical twin brother Ti’maar hugging and giving cat licks to Lue’s servant Khay. They are all laying on large a bed together surrounded by pillows, scrolls, and books. Khay’s ornate collar has been removed and is above them on the bed. They are all wearing higher end bevaal clothing, mostly loincloths and skirts with numerous accessories such as bead necklaces and jewelry.
Lue’maar and Ti’maar are both elite warriors of the ruling cheetah house and Khay is the same adult age but a low-class servant that was raised as a house slave owned by wolves then later purchased by Lue’s father Ra’maar to give to Lue’ as his “first servant” after his previous first servant died. After the accident with his previous “first servant”, Ra’maar ordered his son to treat Khay as a brother and to respect him. He hoped this would help teach his son empathy to have a servant that was the same species as him. They grew up together and as adults here they have a decent relationship that is still strained at times. Khay hopes to one day be allowed to purchase his citizenship in the Alliance. Ti’maar loves Khay like a brother and is always annoyed at Lue’maar for not allowing him to be free far too long into adulthood. It is customary for upper class bevaal to free their first servant, or let them purchase their freedom, when they both are adults.

Can’t believe it’s been months since I posted anything :| Have had a lot of personal mental struggles lately (I know I’m not alone there), but have been better after taking a long break/hiatus. Eager to get more things drawn, and hopefully not disappear again ^^ I started this drawing back in February actually, so I’m very happy to finally see it complete!
I’m also very happy with the end result on this drawing! I went with more subtle lighting for this, and I’m glad I did! I noticed my colors can get a bit too saturated and contrasty, so I have been moving towards a more “realistic” look (even if it’s even still quite saturated and not super realistic XD ). Looking forward to seeing how my colors develop and improve into the future :) -----
