A new OC, Lacrima <3 Actually old, but never drew him xD
Anyway this is for =Greykitty 's project ;u; A collection of cheetah images to be made for Michael, a to-be 10 year old boy who's been fighting various illnesses and even underwent surgery. He loves cheetahs <3
________
Anyway I thought I'd explain the image a bit ;u;
I chose Lacrima since he's a king cheetah, which to me gives a sense of power <3 Not only because cheetahs are already powerful creatures but the idea just adds more 'fluff' to it ;U;
The pose is also something I tried, for a more powerful, regal, kingly, feel. This boy has been fighting to many things at the age of 9. I say he's a brave little kid ;u;
And finally the window, on the other side is a vast open sky and another cheetah, it's mirror image ;u; If you can see the little motion blurs I put and the eye glow, as if it was leaping (moving) and free. I guess Michael would be the cheetah on our side atm. You're almost there kid! Just hang on <3
Ah well as a third fact, cheetahs are endangered. Their numbers in the wild are currently dwindling.
Want to save these animals?
Join #AnimalAwareness to show your support for saving endangered and abused animals and contribute to our galleries to spread the awareness!
They're classified as 'vulnerable' but still, these big cats are poached for their fur.
Well, enjoy the image <3
~Also haven't requested a critique in a while so I'd love to see my improvement! Please don't rate it 5 stars as people have done before ^^ Nothing is perfect~ I used to share all critiques but I'm only sharing them if you be fair~

It's a very beautiful piece but the only thing I can say that bothers me, is the reflection's head's angle. In the reflection, the cheetah should be leaning its head from the other side. Also, the foot that is 'behind' for the cheetah, for the reflection it should be 'in front', if you know what I mean, since that's the leg that is from the glass's side.
I'm not good with animals so I can't give critic over the anatomy and such but I didn't see anyone else mention the head's angle so here you go ^u^ Hope this helps~

Oh why thanks for the comment ^^
And haha I know the concept seems confusing at first, but it wasnβt meant to be a reflection ^~^ Because the background is glass haha not exactly a mirror ;U; Iβll explain it~
The blurred out cheetah is basically another cheetah, like his other self, that is leaping on the other side of the glass. I distorted the image a bit because Michael isnβt capable of doing such things atm x3 But itβs more like two cheetahs ;u; One on our side, and the other on the other side of the glass. But both the same person. I probably shouldβve put another reflection anyway but lol that wouldβve been confusing x3 So yup haha it isnβt a reflection but thank you!

I love it *-* just like all of your art...
But it's not really a mirror image in the backround right Γ΄.o ? Cause it has the same position as the cheetah itself... is it supposed to be like that ? just ignore me if it has to be like that qwq
*allways derping around asking dump questions*

Really nice artwork. I love the eye glow from that reflection, and the cracked glass looks awesome.

I love your technique! The spots are gorgeous. However the body reads more as a clouded leopard or ocelot than a cheetah, to me. I think if you made the body leaner and the legs and tail longer, it would read better.
But wonderful job doing such a nice thing for a child fighting illness. I'm sure he's going to love it
