One of four collab commission pieces completed since comms went live. One is still a WIP and the other two I can't show on here.
You can see all of them over at my Bluesky account, as always, but in the meantime here's the lovely Athena, as commissioned by Webster Leone, clocking in at ~4hrs, with @ependasketchpad on pencils and me on finals.
Day 4 is Liger!
Ligers are huge in real life so can't imagine how big one might be if it's a wereliger instead!
I know he is actually a lion, but I ended up painting him as a tiger.. So I guess he is a wereliger now? 🐯🤔🤣

Maybelle softly groaned as she slowly opened her eyes and looked around as her eyes adjusted to her surrounding, she was now lying in the large theatre chair which had now been adjusted to a more comfortable position. She also had a soft pillow under her head and a warm blanket over her which she moved as she sat up and stretched, rubbing her eyes as she looked around the room as the sunlight began to peek through the blinds… she was about to get up when she heard a rumbling snore behind her causing her to blink before she peeked over her chair and…almost giggled at the sight.
It seemed like he had made himself a nest of pillows on the floor which he was now asleep on, his large mane of hair laid wildly around his head, neck and shoulders as he slept on his side. One of his huge arms under his head as he slept, a low steady rumble came from his huge chest as he slept, she wondered why he didn’t wake her up when she fell asleep during their movie night the night before as she watched his tail move in his sleep. She remembered what he said to her the night before about…liking her, with her telling him that she felt the same way. She was still a little apprehensive about finding someone new so soon but… it was time to live for herself and if this made her happy…then why not embrace it.
“you’re staring”
She heard as she blinked before looking at him as he looked up at her with a sleepy smile, his eyes gleamed in the morning sun as he slowly sat up and yawned, revealing his pearly white fangs before he looked at her.
“good morning belle”
“…good morning, sorry I didn’t mean to stare at you “she replied as she watched him stand up.
“it's fine, “he replied as he looked down at her.
“um…shouldn’t you…be back to normal by now?”
“yes…if I was a werewolf but for me, while the full moon triggers a transformation, the sun doesn’t suppress it for me…it’s more like a feeling, the full moon causes the build-up of that feeling too overflow thus causing a transformation and until that feeling becomes steady, then I stay like this” he explained.
“I see… but apart from the full moon, can you transform anytime?”
“yes, but I rarely do and most times it’s because of that…feeling or because my instincts drive me to it, plus…it's hard to find apartments that are willing to lease to an over 9-foot cat” he said causing her to smile.
“Normally I can tell when I can’t push off my transformations any longer but…that night was the first time I wasn’t able to”
“that night?” she replied before her eyes widened as she remembered, the heavy footsteps, his distant behaviour, the large claw mark on her door.
“that was you…that night, you came to drop off my fan”
“yeah and ended up almost slashing your door in half, sorry about that by the way, I wouldn’t have wanted you to meet me that night.”
Maybelle thought about all of this with a sigh before she got up as well and placed the blanket on the chair.
“Are you upset with me?” she heard him ask as she looked up at him
“about what?”
“about…all this…me?”
“There is nothing to be upset about Kesa, I don’t think any less of you at all,” she said as he gave a relieved sigh.
“so…not even about what I said last night…” he said as he came closer to her before gently pushing a stray piece of hair away from her face “because I still feel that way about you… and I’m not asking for you to forget everything that happened and just fall for me, but I am willing to show you that I care and want to build a relationship with you” she heard causing her to blush.
“and if…it doesn’t work out?
“then I am willing to be just a friend, whatever you need “
“but that isn’t fair to you and from what I’ve learnt with about this whole situation…is that a relationship is built on more than just the feeling of love but also trust and friendship along with other things between both people”
“true…so I guess…we have the rest of this cruise…to get to know each other better, and we can start with breakfast” he said causing her to smile.
“sure, but I think I would rather go to my room and shower then we can meet for breakfast wherever it's ok with you” she smiled as she picked up her stuff.
“sure thing meet me back here in an hour?” he said as they walked out of the room as he escorted her to the door and opened it for her.
“sure thing and thank you for being…there for me Kesa” she smiled as she looked up at him
“anytime belle” he smiled before he watched her walk back to her room, then closing his door to also get ready for breakfast.
................................................................................................................................................
Maybelle felt surprisingly refreshed and awake after her shower, she got dressed in a blue and white sundress with her curly hair left down for a change before she slipped into a pair of white slippers before she got her stuff and began to walk back to his room, it was another day at sea as they won't reach their next stop till the next day and it would be late by the time the ship reaches the docks. So she hummed to herself as she walked back to his room, softly smiling to herself as she found herself enjoying his company even more now that they told each other how they felt about each other, sure they still had time to learn about each other but right now, she felt quite happy and content with him.
Once again, she knocked on the door and waited for him to open as she found herself smiling and feeling like herself again.
“well hello, there belle,” he said as he opened the door and looked down at her with a smile.
“hi Kesa “she smiled as she looked at him, his hair was surprisingly pulled into a loose low ponytail and he was wearing a black and yellow vest with matching shorts. She smiled as he let her into the room and closed the door before turning to her.
“I’ve already ordered my food but asked them to wait till you called so that they could bring our orders together,” he said as he handed her the room phone to call room service.
“oh, thank you” she smiled as she took the phone from him and made the call as she sat down in the living room. She decided on a chicken and chorizo omelette, with a side of mini-waffles and sausages, along with a pitcher of fresh apple juice. She smiled as he walked into the living room and sat down as well as she finished the call and handed the phone back to him.
“breakfast should be here soon,” he said as he placed the phone on a table, looking at her with a curious look as she giggled at something.
“what?”
“you...have big hands” she giggled as he took notice of his hands as she gave the phone back causing him to laugh.
“I guess so”
“guess so?”
She said as she reached over and compared his hand to hers, he could easily hold both of her hands in just one of his, his large furred fingers which ended with dark claws would look daunting but as if he could sense what she was thinking, he fully retracted his claws causing her to look up at him with a smile.
“is it hard to work with those?”
“yes, hence why I don’t go to work like this”
“and what do you do for work”
“…I’m a paediatrician” he replied causing her to look up at him with a surprised look.
“you’re a doctor?”
“surprised “he chuckled as he looked at her with a small smirk.
“well…to be honest…yes, but then again…what should a doctor look like?”
“true…my mothers a doctor and so are my grandparents…dad is a veteran, and you…what do you do?”
“I’m a teacher, I used to teach pre-schoolers, but I was thinking of maybe going back to school”
“a preschool teacher, that’s a rather…cute job”
“I guess but it depends, you could have a class of cute looking kids that are total nightmares, or you might meet the sweetest kid that the other teachers have labelled as…weird”
“…do you…want to have kids of your own one day?”
“of course…but I guess I’m a little old fashioned by wanting to get married first”
“well I feel the same, so I guess that makes us both old fashioned “he replied with a smile which she returned before there was a knock at the door.
“wait here” he smiled as he got up and went to answer the door, leaving her alone as more questions formed in her head.
He was a doctor, that does explain his empathetic and caring nature plus the fact that he could afford this suite. Money was never a determining factor in a relationship as she would rather be with a hard-working yet caring man with a vision than a spoilt rich boy, though she did find it rather cute as a mental image came to her mind of him playing with babies in his office. What was it with this sudden wave of doctors who looked like they could be on magazine covers?
“breakfasts here belle,” he said breaking her out of her thoughts as she got up.
“coming”
She walked out of the living room and followed him to the kitchen which had an appropriately sized dining room which was laid out with their breakfast orders.
“here,” he said as he pulled out a chair for her.
“thank you” she smiled as she sat down, and he pushed the chair in before taking his seat.
“your welcome”
“so…do you have any siblings, “she asked him.
“yeah, two younger brothers, you?”
“I’m an only child” she replied as she poured herself a glass of juice.
“and your parents?”
“my mother is a nurse and my father is a chemical engineer who works in a research lab”
“if you don’t mind me asking…how did you and your ex meet? He asked as she sighed before she began to eat.
“We were high school sweethearts…he was a year older than me but we bonded over music and having mutual friends, after school, he went to work for his father's company as an apprentice and I went to university and got engaged as soon as I finished” she replied before she looked at him.
“what about you Kesa…did you ever have someone special,” she asked as he ate as well.
“I thought I did… her name was Amani, our dads were friends from the army and we dated during medical school, she was into emergency medicine and was quite brilliant, unfortunately, she was also very sheltered by her mother so when I…turned in front of her for the first time…it ended in her running out of my apartment screaming and then to make the night worse, the police arrested me and locked me in an armoured truck. She called them in hysterics and they thought I attacked her, I almost spent the night at the station till both of our parents explained what happened and I was released, her father was so embarrassed at what happened, even her normally stuck-up mother apologised… I think it was safe to assume that the relationship was over after that and sure I saw her around the school but refused to even listen to an apology from her, eventually she stopped trying to talk to me and that was the end”
“oh wow, I’m sorry that happened to you Kesa”
“it's fine, you never forget first love but you can learn from it and move on “ he smiled which she returned as they continued to eat their breakfast, asking each other simple questions and just enjoying each other’s company.
“so, does it hurt when you change?” she asked as she finished her juice.
“if it’s a forced change then yes but if I do it then no”
“When did you first change”
“in preschool, apparently I sneezed too hard and the next thing I know, my clothes were too small, and my parents were there in record time to pick me up”
“once the shock was done…that must have been a pretty…cute sight “she said causing him to laugh.
“Yeah, one of my teachers thought that too…hence why she’s the only one I still send flowers to on teacher appreciation day “
Maybelle giggled as he said that as they finished eating, he got up and looked at her.
“now that that’s done…might I ask for the lady’s company this morning “he asked as he offered her his hand causing her to laugh as she took it.
“sure…that gaming console in the games room looks like it can take two players “she smiled as she got up and walked with him to enjoy her day.

.........................................................................................................................................
Maybelle had heard of the expression of “heart in the throat” but right now, her heart was pounding so loud in her head that she could barely think at that moment as she looked at him.
His golden cat-like eyes seemed to glow as he looked at her.
His stance was tall but also tense as if ready to strike.
His long and furry striped tail swayed behind him as he stood in front of her.
The dark claws on the end of his huge hands and feet gleamed as his stripped chest gave out a rumbling growl that she could feel on her skin, giving her Goosebumps.
She opened her mouth to say something…anything to keep him from… her, she had seen were folks like wolves and bears, but this was the first time she had seen anyone like him. A white weretiger she thought at first but also maybe a werelion too? but she quickly stopped thinking as he took a heavy step towards her causing her to yelp as she pulled her legs to her, she was right against the door but she knew that in one quick strike, this could all be over.
“we…ke…Kesa?” she managed to whimper as he came closer to her, he growled as she saw his sharp teeth get closer as he got right in front of her before getting on all fours as she closed her eyes, but for some reason that she couldn’t explain, she wasn’t as scared as she thought she would be and she didn’t know if that was good or bad.
“you…did not…run?”
She heard causing her to freeze in thought, the voice was deep with a definite under growl to it, but… it was also familiar, familiar enough that she slowly opened her eyes, with a small jump as his face was right in front of hers.
“did…you want me to”? she replied before internally groaning at how silly that must have sounded before she saw his eyes widen a bit before shaking his head.
“no, never” he quickly replied before he took a deep breath as he got up before helping her to her feet, by lifting her and gently placing her on her feet.
“I…I guess I owe an explanation about…this”
“it would be appreciated but not…if you don’t want to”
“I would…but not like this… could you come back in 30 minutes?”
“umm…yeah sure” she replied as she turned and left, blinking as she stood outside his doors, gathering her thoughts as she began to walk to her room but as she was now moving at a slower pace, her eyes slightly widened as she realized that he was staying in the Atlantis room, the only platinum suite on the entire ship, which from what she remembered was almost 3 times the price of her gold suite which was nowhere cheap. She got back to her floor as she realized that one of the elevators came up to his floor but could only be reached by using his key card, which she didn’t have but her key card worked just fine to get her back to her floor before she got back to her room and went to take a quick shower before she changed into a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt underneath a black light jacket which matched her sneakers. She got her key card and slipped it into her jacket before she walked back to his room, taking the long route now as her card would not work in the elevator.
Thankfully, she remembered the way from the pool as she walked, the sun had set outside but it was not completely dark yet as she got to his floor and walked to the large doors. She took a deep breath before she knocked on the door and waited for a few moments before the door opened.
....................................................................................................................................................
“you came back” she heard as she looked up at him, despite his new look, he also changed and cleaned up as he was now wearing a black t-shirt that she didn’t know could come in his size along with a pair of black basketball shorts, she was a little surprised that clothes even came in his current size as he was at least 3 feet taller than his normal height.
“yeah,” she replied as he invited her into his room, it was massive… that was the best way to describe it. His room was bigger than some houses she had lived in as it had a living room, a mini arcade, a small cinema, a full kitchen on one floor, while his bedroom was upstairs. He led her into the living room which was equipped with furniture that was almost too big for her but was perfect for his current size, a mini-fridge, and a huge screen TV she blinked as she sat in one of the seats, her feet no longer touching the ground once she was sat comfortably.
“thanks for coming back,” he said as he sat on the huge armchair that was opposite her, his golden gaze was not as vicious as it was before as he looked at her.
“you’re welcome”
There was a moment of silence as they sat there, the quietness was beginning to get uncomfortable for her, so she just decided to ask him.
“what…are you?” she asked him before he gave a heavy sigh.
“I’m…a wereliger, my mom’s a weretiger and my dad’s a white werelion” he explained as she gave a nod, that would explain the black stripes on his body but also the dark spots on his wrists and ankles, the full black and white mane of hair he now had, his tail that was both fluffy and striped but most of all his huge size.
“oh…wow, so…do you have any special powers?” she asked, scolding herself at how childish that sounded but… she did not know what else to ask that wouldn’t sound rude.
“if you want to call them special, but I have super strength and endurance, awesome night vision, heighten senses such as hearing and smell and increased instincts” he replied as he continued to look at her, she hadn’t looked at him since they started talking causing him to sigh.
“if… you don’t want to be here…you don’t have to be” she heard causing her to blink before she slowly looked up at him.
“it’s not that…”
“really?... you can barely look at me like this…you are scared, aren’t you?
“What!... ok I’ll be honest about this, I didn’t know this about you and when you changed, in front of me…I was scared, scared cause you snarled at me and I have heard of were folk lashing out when they transform. But… you didn’t attack me…so I came back because I was both curious and I want to give you a chance to tell me, rather than me run away and come up with an explanation when you can just give me one… I’m still a little apprehensive since this is the first time I’ve seen you like this but I want to be fair to you and talk to you as a friend and listen to you” she explained as he looked at her, his ears fell a bit as he thought, a rather cute gesture for someone his size.
“I…I didn’t mean to sound so blunt… you’re the second person … I’ve shone this side of me too, without going into details, the first screamed while running from me and then I found myself detained in the back of a police van for being a threat”
“I’m sorry that happened to you”
“it wasn’t your fault, but I didn’t mean to scare you earlier… full moon transformations are often hard ones, hence my earlier behaviour.
“I see”
“I’m sorry once again about scaring you… I never would have hurt you “
“I… I know” she replied as she looked up at him “thank you for telling me this, you didn’t have to”
“But I wanted to, and since we weren’t able to spend as much time together before, would you like to stay for dinner and watch a movie with me?”
“…sure”
........................................................................................................................................
Dinner went well, they both ordered room service but he revealed that if he wanted, he could have a chef come to the kitchen in his suite to cook for him, but he saw no use for it except for snacks and such.
She now understood his large appetite, which was even larger now, but he was still his polite self as they ate. But now that dinner was over, they both went to the movie room and sat on the large comfy chairs which were also heated, along with an in-built mini-fridge in the side that contained snacks and drinks.
“got a movie in mind?” he asked her as he used the remote to turn on the projector before scrolling through the list of movies.
“umm… maybe a comedy?” she replied as she looked through the selection.
“sure thing,” he said as they looked before settling on a movie, as he put it on and sat down on the larger chair beside her as they watched the movie. She did not want to sour the mood with her thoughts as they sat together, but her mind was occupied as she watched.
Now knowing this about him, surprisingly did not change her attitude towards him. She still thought that he was an absolute gentleman with a caring heart. She did not think she would meet someone on the cruise, as she was once of the opinion that any relationship that happened right after a breakup was a rebound that would not last. But knowing that she would never go back to her ex, would it really be so wrong to…give this a chance especially if he wanted the same thing. She felt like she was supposed to be miserable and hurt for a long time, but spending time by herself and with him made her feel…happy, happy enough that she felt that she would be ok with…or without him.
Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket, she pulled it out, thankfully her screen was dimmed as she looked at the notification from an unknown number.
Fine then, I have tried everything to try and talk and save our relationship but you probably planned this from the start in order to make me look like a fool, my parents have cut me off and I can't go back to work cause of you. I hope you’re happy belle, have a nice life now that you have ruined mine.
She just finished the message when she heard a deep rumbling growl above her causing her to look up as their gazes met, his golden eyes seemed to glow in the darkroom.
“I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t have read that but…to be so self-centered to send such a message to you after what he did… I’m glad you didn’t marry that jerk” he said causing her to blush as she looked at her phone and deleted the message.
“it’s alright… he’s always had a… jealous streak that came out every once in a while, I used to forgive it as I thought that it was just a simple flaw, but… now thinking about it… it wasn’t just jealousy, but also self-centeredness and condescending thoughts, so… I’m glad that I didn’t…marry him to”
“Someone like him would have gotten a beat down from my dad,” he said causing her to laugh as she recalled that he was not the first to say that.
“I would have probably joined in…then maybe…asked you out” she heard causing her to blink before she looked at him.
“…really, wouldn’t that be… a pity date?”
“…not since…I already…kinda…like you” he replied as he looked back at her before gently brushing her chin, causing her to blush at how such a tender touch came from such large hands.
“I…I honestly…do not know what to say to that…but…by no means…does that mean that…I don’t… kind of like you too Kesa” she replied as he gave a smile.
“just…think on it” he replied before they continued watching the movie, now holding hands.
