Description
Subject: Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia)Experiment: Draw a realistic snow leopard with as few anatomical faults as possible.
Time: 3hr
Comments: What can I say but this one was a real success!
As I just said, snow leopards an endangered species. Just like tigers and elephants, they need YOUR help. There's several things you can do...
-Promote snow leopards through artwork and photography on the internet and in real life.
-Donate to an organization which supports endangered species. Here are some great ones!
-Never, EVER buy products which come from endangered animals. If we don't buy them, poachers won't make a profit and will stop killing our precious endangered species. As WildAid says; "Together we can do anything!"
Thanks everybody!

The lack of dark lineart makes it look very smooth. It's lovely.

Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. Superb details and charisma. Thank you so much for promoting the preservation of such a unique species. You should watch some documentaries about them, they're mesmerising.

Oh no, it's a demon snow leopard?
That's not good, I'm not sure I have a power-blocking collar large enough for it!`

Thank so much! Snow leopards remind me of a cold day, bundled up in nice warm clothes. They look pretty funny with their full pelts, like a traditional Inuit aboriginal done up in furs kinda. I tried to capture that with the fur.

Falcolf In reply to akeli [2009-10-03 07:18:27 +0000 UTC]
yeah I'm not sure if it's a male or a female!
I used a lot of photo refs for the anatomy (google!
) and it seems like except for obvious dude parts on the males, they pretty much look alike.
Thank you sooo much! Coming from you the master of big cats that's a huge compliment!

I like this one! Like you said, it's nice to see one now and then that's not on rocks.
(It's the Iberian/"Spanish" lynx that's the really endangered one though; the Eurasian lynx is "least concern.")

Ah! Thanks for the correction!
I'm sooo glad I didn't go for a cliffy-mountain sort of picture. >< It would of been ultra lame, especially considering I've done sooo many pictures like that. This was much easier and I think it captured the critter better anyway, not as some ethereal beast, but as a creature enjoying some downtime.

Wow, this one looks amazing!
I think you did everything perfectly! I love how you posed the leopard, and the BG is awesome ^^

Falcolf In reply to knightspirit46 [2009-10-02 23:14:29 +0000 UTC]
Hehehe, the BG is just a gradient with a bit of snow painted in the foreground, but thankies! The leopard's pose was a bit of a fluke. Originally it was laying down and looked really boring, then I pushed it's butt up and it looked great!

Thanks a lot! I tried to make it really cute and beautiful, in a way that might hopefully inspire intrigue in people who had never seen these lovely creatures.
