As for mine... I'm not sure who I want drawn, really. Whoever gets me can take their pick. I'll go ahead and post a few descs anyway, for easy reference...
Khamsin
Sand. Earth. Sun-bleached grass. This is the dominant color of Khamsin's pelt, a pale tawny shade which fades into all three as if she... wasn't there. Darker tones are woven throughout her coat - subtle shadows, a touch of brown, a tinge of russet, none easily separated from the base hue, nothing which can be defined as a 'spot'. Yet they are there, making her less a lioness-shaped patch of the earth and more... a patch of the earth.
Even her ears and tail-tuft are little different, a light hazel color whose edges blend into the rest. Ivory touches her chin and chest, sweeps down over her belly; the dull color of bone splintered into hairs beyond counting. Ivory are Khamsin's claws, and ivory her teeth - when either can be seen. Pale, pale pink her nose; dark amber the eyes above, alert, watchful, wary.
Nakhti
Nakhti's fur is thick and lustrous, a dark tawny shade - too golden to be called brown, too dark to truly be any shade of gold. It pales slightly on throat and underside, darkening to chocolate on his ears and each paw. His mane is thick, if not yet to its full growth - like the rest of the lion, his tall frame not yet filled out entirely. Dark, dark crimson are its hairs, the ebon-washed scarlet of blood shed in the night, touched with hints of brighter reds and deeper, true ebony. The tuft which tips his tail is the same color. Black lines encircle Nakhti's pale, blue-grey eyes, making them stand out all the more.
Lasair... isn't born yet, but still an option. Her eyes will probably be green when she's older.
Copper and silver are Lasair's colors - her coat silver next to her skin, hairs tipped with the copper of sunset, with the red-gold of flame. As she moves, the colors shift and blur, like fire over water. At this stage, she's little more than fur - a ball of fluff with ears and a tail-tuft, that last dark scarlet in hue, seeming black at times, the color of blood at midnight. In sharp contrast are her wide eyes, the pale blue orbs of a young cub centered above a little black nose.
Daltiya
Daltiya is not yet full-grown, but she'll always be on the small side for a lioness. Long legs and a lean frame speak of speed rather than strength - speed enough to outpace the majority of her kind. Daltiya's pelt is golden - not amber, not tawny, not the shade of sun-bleached grasses, but golden as the sunlight, a legacy of her mother's line. It pales to a honey hue on her undersides, while paws and ears are dusted in red-gold. The tuft at the tip of her tail is the same almost coppery hue, and a thin line of that color trails along her spine. Her eyes are a marked contrast to this summer-sun scheme - they are dark as ebony, dark as night, the iris and the pupil impossible to tell apart.
