Sibling wrestle
The two siderians (northern, horse sized felines) cubs Winther (light fur) and Falco (dark fur) wrestling during a quiet autumn afternoon when most adults were still resting.

They are actually twins (which is unusual for siderians) and got along with each other well – most of the time. They had their usual sibling rivalry but they were also quite inseparable as kids. Winther was often times the most naughty of the two and she initiated most of play fights or other kinds of pranks (I guess she learned that from their dad). She liked to pick on her brother and challenge him with things that she thought was funny but he did not.
As adolescents, the rivalry got a bit more serious but they got along well as adults.
Regarding the style. I got quite inspired by the art style of the Netflix series Arcane and I wanted to experiment with some of the techniques. So this time, I had no line art and I used a rather hard edged paintbrush rather than my usual softer brushes. I like the outcome but it cost me more time than my usual quick-painting style.
