Nekobe Running (1a) by Lionus (2000)

A silent morning woodland path. Suddenly bursting upon the eye with taut muscles working effortlessly beneath his tawny body fur and coming right at you ...

A PhotoShop multi-layer work in which I strayed from my usual "coloring book line" style to attempt a line-less image. I found the pose interesting in that I had to use forced foreshortening to portray Nekobe's digitigrade legs (though Rogue's stories do not describe him as having either digitigrade or plantigrade legs). I then used a blur filter on the background to give the impression of a cameraman keeping the on-rushing lionmorph in focus as Nekobie runs directly towards us. Visually unsettling, but effective none the less.
