Is this a colored sketch and just basic composition?

pretty much. The linework will be cleaned up (especially on bagheera), but i think i want to keep it black or dark gray like a traditional coat of arms. The colors are also preliminary, I'm thinking id like more muted tones...

this was definitely inspired in part by "Truce" so any of your thoughts/criticisms would be very appreciated :]

I like it, will you be doing a crestlike- frame for it as well? Also, i think muted tones will work best too. I dunno, maybe I shouldn't crit you on this, I had a Junglebook-design up for scoring like a week ago (and it didn't do as well as I'd hoped, so I might be dragging you down=P)

Thanks! Don't think I'll be framing it, most royal coat of arms dont actually have them; like the UK's: And I'm pretty sure you won't be dragging me down :P, I totally wanna buy that shirt!

Here's an update, cleaned up lines, fewer and more muted colors, and a reworked shield. Trying to decide whether to stick with this look or bring it in to illustrator...

This is a pretty sweet idea! I think the sketchy style works, but the shading on the panther has gone away from that style. If you took it into illustrator it would work with that kind of shading.
