Artwork Text Description: Digital reference sheet of an anthro-furry cheetah male warrior named Ti’maar. Ref sheet includes him wearing 3 different outfits, unclothed, casual, formal, and his campaign armor. It also features many of his weapons and accessories with labels explaining them. In the middle is more of his information in text, a portrait, and his paw pads. Ref sheet was replaced by one created much later, but many of the accessories and clothing details remain the same.
Ti’maar is a paladin. The rank of paladin shows that he has been selected to succeed them in ruling their house which rules the Cheetah Kingdom. He sits with his parents representing the cheetahs on the Ruling Council of Alphas which rules the Wolf Alliance. Some of the information in the text is outdated as the writing of the comic he is featured in has changed. But most of it is still similar. There was an alternate version of this drawing that is not reposted for mature rating reasons.

Decided after a while that I didn’t really like the format of Ti’s original Ref Sheet I made back in 2019. The text was just too much of a pain to work with in Clip Studio and made the image too massive. Also decided that the drawings didn’t look very good anymore and they needed re-drawn. The flat colors were far too saturated as well. So here is the re-made version of the ref sheet XD _____
Most of the text is now gone. While most of it is still canon to the character, it will be moved to a wiki site that I am working on. Much more pleasant to read it that way. The Bio information was updated with a few more details, with others removed.
The drawings are now far better. I quickly didn’t like how his face looked in the past one. Now I’m really happy with it ^^ The clothes were not changed a ton, but it was a lot of work to resize and fix the clothing to the new anatomy XD Probably not much faster than if I had just re-made it all lol. Oh well. Re-doing part of old art is always a pain haha
Hopefully this will actually be more usable as a ref sheet now XD
I do still want to make more ref sheets of my other characters. Likely using the same background here as a template to save time ^^ Since I want to make these with various sized characters, I’m making them on a neutral gray background bubble of sorts. That way they can be scaled up or down and they can be separate from the background. Makes it easier to judge the colors too. I plan on making one of Ti’s identical twin brother Lue’maar by re-using a lot of the art here XD A little lazy, but they look virtually identical. Just different spots and markings. And I want to make one of Khay right after that XD These things takes ages and are a ton of work, so not sure how soon I’ll do the next one... _____
Some setting lore notes:
Those aren’t real ears coming out of the helmet, they are fake decoration ears put on top, and there are small holes for hearing underneath. Makes cats look less ridiculous while wearing a helmet, while protecting the ears still :P And about the armor, he only has a nice set of armor because he is wealthy, other Be’vaal soldiers aren’t typically so lucky. Also, I didn’t draw it here, but there is an optional piece of tail armor he can wear that is an extension of his padded cloth armor.
There is a new wrapping on the base of his tail. I made some new lore stating that traditionally all Be’vaal wear a symbolic wrapping at the base of their tail if they don’t have a “mate” yet. Be’vaal aren’t monogamous technically, but within their “house” (basically a tribe, consisting of multiple bloodlines all at once (around 50-200 people), under one “house name”. Such as house Maar here.) they have a single person typically assigned to them for the sole purpose of reproduction and continuing the house. During war time they are usually mated earlier, but outside war time they usually do in their early 20s. Ti’maar has yet to be assigned a mate yet because he will one day be the Cheetah Alpha and his mate will be the Co-Alpha with him. There is a lengthy process and ceremony that goes along with selecting a new Co-Alpha, so it takes extra time. And while his mate will be from outside house Maar since he is a special case being Alpha, about half the time they are mated from outside or within the same house as long as it’s not from the same maternal blood line (Mother, her sister’s children, grandmother. First cousins on the mother’s side are called sisters to the Be’vaal). Male with female mating within the same house is forbidden aside with their assigned mates. But besides that, outside the house and all else is freely permitted and socially encouraged. This is the family structure for almost all Be’vaal. (More will be said about this in a wiki page, when I get around to making it XD )
Also under his name in the middle is his full official name in the Be’vaal tongue. “Pataand Ti’maar-tohn”. Basically it means “Paladin Ti’ of House Maar of the Cheetahs”. The ruling house has a formal name that includes the name of their species added to the house name. In Be’vaal cheetah is “Tohn”. And the Chief-Alpha (the Wolf Alpha) has an even longer name with ‘vaal added to it haha. “Alaapand Praet'tavak-tof’ta-vaal”
For the NSFW version: I decided to include an example of his erection, because I needed to better define the design XD It’s kind of a mix between feline and human shapes. I don’t think it has as many barbs a real feline, but they are still present. And I’m not sure if they are usually sharp, but the feline Be’vaal ones aren’t very. While they are blunted, they still are hard and protrude, so they surely aren’t super comfortable lol. And his erect size is quite large for a Be’vaal cheetah, they tend to be smaller than human averages. The Be’vaal canines are a lot larger by comparison haha.
