Hat by Lionus (1996)

Lionmorph wearing his cap backwards

A pencil portrait of a lionmorph wearing his cap fashionably backwards. At the time I thought the drawing came out pretty good. But now ... well let me say that I have a tough time with anthromorphic creatures wearing hats. It's the ears thing. Hats were designed by humans with down-on-the sides ears. I suppose that holes could be poked through them, like the accomodation made in trousers and dresses. But unless the hat comes way down on the anthro's head, his ears are just about where the headband of the hat sits. *sigh* Well, in this drawing I just lowered his ears.

Wearing a cap was at one time a fashion fad that originated from the West Coast skateboarders, affectionately nicknamed, "skaterats">
