I know what you mean when you say that it's been feeling like a chore to make art. Recently I've felt that way a lot. What I do know is that this does not look like it was a chore for you to make- it doesn't show in the quality. Caracals are one of my favorite medium-sized feline species. Here you have captured a really cute little juvenile perfectly. 
I hope the wall of un-motivation wares off for you soon.

Thank you very much. I'm working on trying to get myself motivated again. I hope you can become more motivated as well! I love caracals too; I have long admired their ear tufts, hah.
