Panjyamon X (or IceLeomon X, if you prefer) is one of the few X-Antibody Digimon that I think is both super cool (badum-tss) and an improvement on the original design, but there's quite literally only two pieces of official art of him so... like Thanos, I had to do it myself! Hopefully Bandai gives him a little more love in the future.

The (huge, as is the norm for my Digimon art )full resolution image and several progress images are available on Patreon!

Lion’s Head , Cape Town

[textless]

One morning we came across a group of lions gnawing away at a cape buffalo who was already past caring.

A couple of female lions and some cubs enjoyed breakfast while the male, who had already eaten, lazed in the grass. Over an hour or so, a whole parade of scavengers arrived to wait, sneak in for a nibble, and hold one another at bay, all while the lions remained focused on their meal.

It was gruesomely fascinating, and the photos are below so you can skip them if the whole thing is too red in tooth and claw.

In the last photo above, the lion is scratching dirt over the bloody ground where the buffalo met its demise. Our guide said that diminishes the scent of the kill and its siren call to every hungry creature, but it's safe to say plenty of creatures were already on the case.

Jackals had been close by since we arrived, but they got steadily bolder as the lions dawdled. Then an assortment of vultures arrived. Of course they flew in, but then they edged closer on foot. They were remarkably stealthy for such enormous birds.

The vultures pictured above include lappet-faced vultures and white-backed vultures.

Finally, the little jackals couldn't wait another minute. The lions had pushed the buffalo stomach off to one side, intact, and that is where the jackals made their move.

The big male lion had returned to the buffet by this time, and lost patience with the company.

Annoyed, the lion moved the buffalo a little. This left some bits and pieces behind, including the stomach, and the jackals and vultures went to town.

Just when it seemed the jackals would finally have a chance to dig in, the hyenas that had been creeping around the edges decided they had waited long enough.

It was interesting to see the one unfortunate buffalo provide a meal for the whole wild kingdom.

When we moved on to have our own breakfast, the male lion was still standing guard.

Just some little drawings I did for fun because tumblr made me want to draw my past hyperfixations (they still kind of are and I enjoy their little fandoms on this app/platform :D) and my favorite character from each of them :)

characters from top to bottom:

Astérix (from “Astérix” ofc)

Geronimo (from “Geronimo Stilton” ofc :) )

Laval (from “Legends of Chima”)

and Farran Leafshade (from “Secrets of Elvendale”)

Find the sniper: somewhere in this herd of Cape Buffalo is a lion teenager with a wild optimistic streak.

This lion dragged the buffalo carcass about ten yards to a male lion who was lounging in the shade. The pictures aren't especially gory (and the buffalo was definitely past caring), but the are rest below the break so you can look or not.
