This is a back-dated post for my archive project, where I am copying over every piece of art I have ever submitted to DeviantArt, with the original submission date or watermarked year stamp, so a complete archive of my work can be found on this website.

2 hours of work drawing, and I don’t know how many spent in contemplation…

I drew this specifically for the “The Eyes Have It” contest being held by *BigCats. https://www.deviantart.com/bigcats/blog/17348332/

When I decided I wanted to draw a piece for this contest, I also decided that I didn’t just want to draw a picture of a big cat’s eye. I wanted the drawing to say something more. After a bit of thinking, and a lot of browsing, I decided I wanted to draw a cheetah eye with the savanna reflected in it, looking for home.
