I'm guessing the lion is the good guy, because he's blond.
And the panther is evil, because he's black.

And the woman is wearing a cute little tail-like decoration thingy, which makes her almost a little bit furry.

Very Frank Frazetta/John Carter of Mars. Nice homage.

From Heavy Metal magazine (might have been Epic Illustrated, instead?). There was a comic that went a long with it. None of these three characters are "evil" or really the villain... But the cover is accurate to one point in the story.

Epic Illustrated, issue #29.

still, the lion is going to die the next second

This is just utterly superb. Definitely got a Heavy Metal vibe to it. It would be excellent if an animation studio that's not afraid to make an R or even X-rated 2D film would center a story around this.
