I absolutely love big cats but never draw them. So today I attempted to draw a Smilodon, one of the coolest cats to have existed. Their bulk and proportions are fascinating. Coat coloration is based on the BBC's Walking With Beasts interpretation, but with a short coat similar to that of Jaguars. We rarely see short coats on Smilodon reconstructions.

Since the early 19th century, artists have depicted colorful – if sometimes fictional – animals (especially dinosaurs) and prehistoric environments, mingling science with unbridled fantasy as more and more fossils got uncovered and studied by the archeologists of that time.
