Description
I got to use the tablet tonight and finally finish this, yay! Both this and the lioness picture I did a while back where inspired by Lion King the musical when it toured to my city.This is a mother cheetah and her too juvenile cubs (juvenile in age as well as maturity). Mum's keeping an eye out for lions, hyenas, and hopefully their next meal.
This took me upwards of 12 hours, the most I've spent on a colour picture in a looong long time. I hope you like!

I like it! Only one thing I see wrong here that hasn't been mentioned before;
Their eyes look like they have oval pupils like a domestic cat, while cheetahs actually have round pupils.

That's a good point, and I'm not sure why I didn't go more round with them. I suppose I just forgot. ^^

Excellent job at coloring this! I especially like the left cub. SO cute~

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was: fierce mama-cat! I think you did a very good job portraying her alertness. The cubs are well done too, but the cub on the right's leg thats bent up looks kinda odd. It looksjust the tiniest bit too far away from the rest of his body. Otherwise, Great job!

I can see that. There's probably a bit more of a gap than there should be, but I also wanted to portray the long-legged skinniness of cheetahs, so I made everything a bit exaggerated that way. Thanks!

Wow, this is a beautiful piece! A weird thing that I really like: the lioness' hair. Everyone's pose also looks very natural.
So adorable~ >w<

Ah, my bad! x__x
I think I got confused because of your previous lioness portrait. I'm sorry~!! D;

Um, I don't mean to sound vulgar, but the cub in the yellow loincloth - his/her chest doesn't look right. The...uh, nipples in particular, and the line of the chest; you might wanna touch up the red-loincloth cub's chest too.
Other then that, this is a wonderful image. The lighting and background are well developed! ^_^

Vulgar? I'd hardly call that comment vulgar! Do you mean that they aren't where you think they should be? (both are boys) 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, thank you. I'm rather shy about making such comments *blush*.
It's just that the chest for the kitten in yellow seemed a little overstated. Maybe if you dulled that "boob line" a little; he kinda looks like a well-developing young female. The left nipple looks like it's too far inward, but the right one is okay (maybe it should be hidden more in his brother's shadow?)
Also, there's a bump at the armpit that doesn't look right. Other then that, he looks good ^_^

Is that better? I took out the shadow and the pec' definition to try and tone it down a bit.

That looks great, hon! ^_^ I'm happy I could help such a great artist.

^_^ I really appreciate the help. You get so close to an image that you don't see things that people looking with fresh eyes do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I totally feel you on that. I've had family and friends point out some embarrassing fails on my line-arts before >.<
I'm happy I could be of such assistance ^_^

I can see what you're getting at. I'll tweak it a bit when I get a chance. Thanks for the feedback!

The lighting, and textures are very well done.

Thank you! I think that's probably the element that I mulled over the longest, so I'm glad it worked!

It's because she's their Mom!

Heheheh, yeah, like those two cubs would if their Mom wasn't there! They are clearly not worried about lions or hyenas.

Very beautifully done.
