This isn't my usual kind of art, so I'm not confident about it, but I was trying to make something I thought the recipient would like and will hopefully distract him at least a tiny bit from the pain that follows the knee surgery.

I painted this as a gift for someone who loves black panthers and will soon undergo very painful knee replacement surgery.
Tools: Clip Studio Paint, two custom brushes, GIMP (minor effects/adjustments)

Here's a 1-layer study painting from photo ref for #AppleApril 2025. Definitely need the practice... I'll probably try to block out the values first next time; this was more of a colour study (until I changed the tone at the end).
