Queen of the Jungle

Jaguar Queen holding her pet boa constrictor. The deadliness of her companion portrays her strength as a ruler.
I started this drawing at least a year and a half ago, drew it, started coloring it, then forgot about it. I found it again about a week ago and decided to finish it because, although it was old and had lots of mistakes, I still liked it. It was soooo difficult to fix everything that was wrong because its in colored pencil, and doesn't erase easily. Still I think I managed to come up with something visually pleasing. I dont like the background (too yellow, should have been contrasted with her colors) but I do like the detail in the fur and the stunning brightness of the colors (I've decided my drawings should be more opaque and not so washed out - makes it more convincing).
I might send this off with a friend to Anthrocon, if not Further Confusion to be sold, even though I won't be able to make it.
