Leo the Cat Man – A New Hybrid Character in Progress

This is Leo.

He is not ferocious, but he is persistent.
He is not flamboyant, but he does have style.
He is not better than everyone, but he is a genius.

He is not just a man. He is the Cat Man.


Behind the Character

I’ve been trying for a while now to build a character who is half‑man and half‑cat. Out of all the varieties I’ve gone through, Leo is the one that has come closest to being the version I want to focus on — developing his story, building his world.

I already have an origin story for him, but I’ll keep that to myself for now.


The Sketch

This is a rough sketch I did of Leo — shown both in his human form and his cat form.
Penciled, inked, and coloured.

I’m glad I have Procreate to do these sketches. It saves me a lot of paper.


What’s Nexts

Leo is still a work in progress, but he’s the one. More to come as I refine his design and finally share his origin.
