Description
One of my projects at TSR was THE MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM, the looseleaf revamp of the old Monter Manuals and Fiend Folio. Among my entries was the Wemics, the leonine counterpart to centaurs. I developed a social order for them inspired by both Native America cultures and lion behavior.
This painting sprang from one of those ideas. The right Wemic has challenged the current leader, an older male, for dominance. He carries possessions to demonstrate his resources. Now he has to demonstrate his physical prowess and best the leader in combat.
But the old leader is not old enough to step down quite yet.....
