The faces of the Steef are quite a bit different then lion faces. Lions tend to have elongated faces, whereas the Steef seem to have a skull structure similar to our own, but influenced by gorillas and lions. Steef faces are actually oval, similar to ours, with a more prominent snout and less prominant chin. Their snouts are not as prominant as a lions, nor as flat as ours, so it's hard to use either as a model.
With drawing the Steef faces, I started with the same general shape as the oddworld Steef and tweaked some details. With the last one I wanted to go for something a bit more Native American, so I gave her a longer snout. I assume every steef face won't be identical.
Female gorrillas are thinner over all, about half the size of males. I assume Steef are similar, with a sexual dichotomy that has larger males (like the majority of mammals).
BTW, thanks for the kind words. It takes me a bit of time to get comfortable drawing a new critter.
