The texture on the fur is absolutely amazing! Must have taken you quite some time though. x.x Im just now learning how to use my art programs. I also love how you catch the emotion in the face, breathtaking! Keep up the good work!

wow. The fur looks so soft, and he looks amazing. I like the solemn feel of the picture. Kinda of like the calm before the strom. Or maybe I'm just overthinking things. XD
Very well done anyway.

Wow Akeli....He looks amazing. The fur patterns and the way you did it makes Kotu look so soft and so realistic looking. I also think that the crackling energy static around Kotu looks great and its a nice touch! I just love the way you did this, it makes me jealous of your skillz >w<

PantheraCorax [2009-07-09 01:47:44 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, I marvel at your painting skills <3

The facial structure and realistic proportions are amazingly done, as is the bit of stylization you added in there
I really like the faint sparks around his fur, almost like static electricity ^^
The fur isnt overly detailed, but still detailed enough to give the image a certain feel. The composition is great 8D Really admire your works like these <3 Gorgeous work

I also love the energy that is enveloping around the body, very plain and simple, but very beautiful.

Keep up the great work, I look forward to what is to come for this comic of yours!

mooing-duckerberry [2009-07-08 21:11:13 +0000 UTC]

Just out of curiosity, have you been around real snow leopards before, or are you taking all this from photos and things? I was just noticing how precise the flow of the fur was. It looks very good.

Both We have a snow leopard at our zoo - unfortunately I don't get to go that often (it is a 2 hour drive) and our snowie is kind of shy sometimes. I've been able to touch a real snow leopard pelt too, along with most of the other cats. Most cats are very course, not soft, but the snow leopard is plush! I do have a lot of pictures I've taken though, so I have some good references for fur direction.

mooing-duckerberry In reply to akeli [2009-07-09 04:30:03 +0000 UTC]

That's interesting. I wonder, is it just the length of the hair, or do snow leopards have a different kind of pelt? Someday I'll have to stroke some cats to find out.

akeli In reply to mooing-duckerberry [2009-07-09 04:58:08 +0000 UTC]

Must be a different pelt - even the long-haired amur leopards' wasn't really soft. o.O
