Description 'Kay. I made this because people apparently don't know what pumas look like before they make a puma oc. Virginie is a stylized puma. Do not use her design as a reference for pumas. She doesn't even look like a puma that much anyways.

Sorry for the crappy hand-writing.

Also you don't have to copy my example, either. Because that's not the point. I want people to design characters creatively and have them look like the animal you're portraying. That's why puma htfs always look exactly like Virginie, because they're basing them off her and not real pumas/cougars/mountain lions.

And you don't have to call your character a puma, either. They are also called mountain lions and cougars, just saying.

You forgot the big boobs on the 'puma' for the left.

Though seriously, this is a nice reference guide for drawing pumas. And besides, the best place to look is at the source. In other words, find photographs of pumas instead of copying it from someone else. Even this has its imperfections and PumaHTF's.... No comment on there.

AnarchisThinker In reply to LiLLi-ViLLa [2011-11-19 03:36:30 +0000 UTC]

The way you draw it is as inaccurate as the 'commentary' on alot of your art. By the way, I did mention about your pony. Did you get to see the comment yet?!

Schiver In reply to LiLLi-ViLLa [2011-10-04 16:37:47 +0000 UTC]

You should be flattered about being critiqued. Period.

Also, "Pathetic pity" is not a word. Put commas where commas are due.

You did an excellnt, job, except for one thing. They sometimes have brown on the bridge of their nose as well that connects to the spots on their muzzle. [link]

Also, look at where the "w" in "which" is on the puma on the right. That's right. Its looks like we've got us a...

ACCIDENTAL VAGINA!
