I posted her concept back in November and have finally worked on a real picture for her. Zalika was queen of Jiwe Clan and the mother of Kamili, Dara, and Amira. She was a fair, but humorless queen, and took her role very seriously. She joined her clanmates in hunts and battles, and has the scars to show for it, unlike her smooth-pelted daughters. Though she was never cruel, she didn't raise her children with much affection, instead focusing on practicalities and enforcing good behavior and leadership qualities- lessons her children did not care to pick up on.

This is my first real art on clip studio paint, and took about 3 hours
