Here four Be’vaal commanders, each in charge of separate armies of the Wolf Alliance, meet to plan a unified battle to take an enemy city.
The characters are the following:
On the left is General Tatt’khaa, daughter of the AWD Alphas and leader of one of the largest groups of joint AWD-Hyena forces. She is a new character I haven’t drawn before, but she is the first cousin of General Dirri who appears in the current comic (here) ^^ Also at this point in the timeline (a short time before the end of the war) she is in a relationship of sorts with Paladin Ti’maar.
Middle left is Paladin Areco’tavak, eldest living son of Great Alpha Praet’tavak (leader of the entire Wolf Alliance and head Alpha of the Council of the Alphas). Areco is the commander of half the Wolf forces which consists of many separate species, but mostly Wolves. Areco hasn’t appeared in a drawing since an older comic page (here), so I ended up re-designing the look of his character a bit :) Along with some fancy new armor and new fur pattern. But his character is mostly the same. He is very good friends with Paladin Ti’maar, as they are around the same age (Areco is 1 year older) and they grew up together (mostly). He is also very close to Alpha Ra’maar, and thinks of him like a wise old uncle haha.
Middle right is Alpha Ra’maar, Co-Alpha of the Cheetah Territories in the Wolf Alliance. He is officially over the Cheetah forces, but also supervises other armies along with the other Alphas. Directly he leads 1/3 of the Cheetah forces, which contains multiple species in his territory. He has recently appeared in drawings along side his Co-Alpha Nika’maar (here) and the most recent comic page (here). In this scene he would actually be the one in charge; because though he is above in rank and below in caste to the Wolf Areco (so they would be considered equals in social status and rank), he has Areco beaten by far in experience, having almost 20 years more military experience than him. (Alphas pretty much always outrank everyone else, besides other Alphas)
On the right is Paladin Ti’maar, eldest son of Alpha Ra’maar and Alpha Nika’maar. Along with his parents, he directly commands 1/3 of the Cheetah forces. But it is very common for him to work jointly with his father and mother, and often with at least a few other armies (such as Areco’s forces). Since he is my “main character” I draw him quite often; he has a ref sheet (here), was in a recent comic page (here), and has some recent solo art (here) ^^

As always happens, I wanted to make this drawing a finished sketch XD But after I inked it and started doing some shading, I was far too tempted to color it and couldn’t resist. So I did :P I wanted to have a chance to try out the newer coloring technique that I have been using on a full background scene ^^ I really like this drawing XD It’s fun to see the different characters and species together ^^ Downside is it took a long time, probably 28 hours or so, like a whole week of work with streaming lol. But I think it was worth it :)

Areco’tavak: "I cast Magic Missile at the darkness."
Ra’maar: "Dude why do you always have to do that?"

Very good work! I like development of characters of clothes, facial expressions and poses. The seriousness of the thoughts of each hero is felt.
would you include humans in your art? I think it would be awesome to see them mixed with these races
They are just rare there as they live very far away ^^ Eventually I will indeed draw them with my characters, I have a few ideas for it actually XD Human faces are just super difficult to draw and I'm intimidated by it haha
I really wish you consider drawing those ideas! I really think FA needs more anthro x human art, there is not many these days, I really wish to see more in the future.
Above! They are basically just like kings (the Alphas), but one step below them. And then the other nobles and military leaders are below them :) Due to how the political hierarchy works, most Alphas and Paladins were already high-ranking military leaders beforehand.
Allow me to fill in the narrative...
Ra: If I touch our fingertips together, you'll get pregnant.
Areco: Ah, but if I use two fingers it will counter the effect
Ti: *Thinking "Whoa! POWER MOVE!!!"*
Tatt: *Scowling at the man-childs, thinking "You wouldn't joke about it if you'd been through childbirth!"*
Awesome work, T :)

Plot twist, this isn't planning a war. It's a planning session for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Will inevitably take hours, three whole pizzas and a lake's worth of mountain dew, only to devolve into half an hour of pure anarchy. =p
This is an amazing picture Titus! Out of everyone there I think Tatt’khaa is my favorite just because she's an AWD and we need more of them
I love the armour designs! They look fantastic.
I should really get around to commissioning you one of these days, the stuff you put out always looks incredible, and 0laffson keeps recommending it whenever it comes up :P

The funny thing is I'm more interested about the map, the pieces, and so on. I feel this is them prepping for an assault on their foes here and organizing their armies respectively. Ti'maar seems very passive here, learning really.
General Takk is listening in before giving her input.
The redesign on Areco is interesting, the heavy armor on him gives the implication that wolves in general are heavily armored.
The inscriptions in the Be'vaal language are a nice touch as well, I assume those are prayers.

I hope the Wolves carry plenty of water - they're going to overheat bad in that Armor. I've had to wear two 10 pound steel plates in a nylon carrier at one job - work armed security irl. Was damn hot and I went thru water like crazy in the warmer months
Well I guess one did lead you to water.
Also considering they're not human, the tolerance may be different.

Adopted a husky/wolf hybrid years ago - my 90 pound little sister. She needed a lot of fresh water when it was hot - even normally cool in the summer Flagstaff had its hot weeks in the summer.
Haha, my thoughts exactly. ...tho to be honest I first thought of this as preparation for an important joint movement to strengthening their position on some problematic border, sending the popper message without causing any escalation. ...But now that a see those pieces more carefully, it does indeed like a bigger confrontation is on its way. (after an unwanted incursion on their territory)

I love how you give so much thought and detail to each character. Everything to their, clothes, jewellery, markings, armour, gestures and expressions, show a glimpse of each personality and their clans. I truly admire your artistic style. Very exciting and stunning work. You are a MASTER⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
FINE sharp linework and coloring! Are you sure this is a real battle and they're not just cosplaying? ;)
Thanks! I love sharp ink lines XD
Haha they must have gone all out and got cosplay scars too :P

Magnificent! The amount and level of detail in the fur patterns, the map, the markings on armor and clothing, etc. It's all spectacular. Great work!
Cool! Good attention to details. Looks autenthically. Believable. I easy imagine movement of that armor construction. Also expressions looks lively. I almost can imagine their discussion of plan :)
