Description

A smilodon and a puma are locked in fierce combat. The saber-toothed cat rears up over the unfortunate puma ready to strike with its claws and long curved canines. The puma appears to have just been thrown to the grown, kicking up clouds of dust. Rolling onto its back, the smaller wildcat raises its claws trying to stave off the bulkier predator.

Though the smilodon appears to have the advantage in this particular fight, the puma (or cougar or mountain lion) as a species outlasted all sabre toothed cats which went extinct at the end of the pleistocene.

I had a request for a scene depicting an interaction between a cougar and a prehistoric cat, and I though it might be an enjoyable scene to make. I had a lot of fun trying to make this look like a pitched battle between two very dangerous beasts.

To create this image I used both CGI technology as well as digital painting techniques.


Thanks for looking!
