Description A work in progress - the idea behind the piece is a clouded leopard female in ancient China, practicing swordplay. Inspired by Hong Kong swordfighting films such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Hero. I am planning on coloring the piece as if it is raining where she is. Dramatic lighting, pools of water collecting around the stones at her feet, small splashes and such. (Firelight coming through the temple windows, perhaps to counterbalance all the blues and greys)

Feedback and critique would be most appreciated. I may not take all critique suggestions, but I would like to hear and consider, and possibly use them.

I don't have any critique or suggestions, but I do like the piece. Kinda reminds me of "Legend of Kay", a video game for the PS2. He's a striped cat with a sword, and I think his fighting style is similar.

'Course, it would've helped if he hadn't been voiced by another ahsmatic (sp?) brat. Stupid game designers...

I'll be waiting anxiously for the finished product(and more WIPs if possible). I can only say that hair would look nice, because I'm not too fond of bald furries, but it's still wonderful.

I'm planning on posting WIPs as I color Some people have expressed interest in seeing pieces take shape through the coloring process. I did it once a while back, with Echo at the Koi pond, but its been a while.

Yay! Awsome, an old Chinese swordscat, just like from all my storries! My only concern is the sword, it get's a little large for the scale of the perception or whatever at the end. Cant wait to see it colored though >^..^<

I love those kung-fu movie with a ton of elaborate, over-the-top wire stunts.

I'm in awe of the details of the sketch alone. My mind is buzzing wondering what the final shall look like as you described, when completed @___@

I think my only crit would be that is she is a snow leopard...she needs to be a touch more fluffy. The background is DEVINE and the details are incredible. I can't wait to see it colored. But yeah...I really want fluffy cheeks and tail....it screams for it!
