Finally a new full drawing! :D
I realized I rarely draw the Herimash, my fantasy feline race, in their natural habitat. A great number of them lives in human cities, usually in the slums, because they thought city life could offer better opportunities, or simply because they already lived there and they refused to leave when cities were built, but despite that the majority still lives in the deep forests of the south, hidden from the outside world.
The Herimash live in small nomadic tribes, moving around the forest hunting and gathering, and occasionally compete with each other for certain resources. That is precisely what is happening in the drawing here, two tribes clashed with each other for whatever reason, and they decided to settle the matter with a duel.
When two tribes are "at war" there is no involvement of civillians, since that would be considered highly dishonorable, instead each tribe chooses a warrior or a group of them, and they will fight each other under the eyes of both tribes and the shamans, who will make sure the fighters will follow the rules. When one side wins, the other tribe is defeated and has to leave.
The Herimash don't extend the same courtesy to humans, who are considered vile and dishonorable, so when they have to fight them they use the forests at their advantage and employ guerrilla tactics instead of fighting face to face, and that makes them extremely dangerous foes.
(Sorry for the wall of text!) XD
