This is a collaboration between myself and
melo666 whom did the beautiful sketch I had the honor of coloring. Her original sketch can be seen at: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2201410/ . The piece has been in the works for a good while and eaten up a lot of my free hours, but in a good way of course!
This is yet another piece for the Pinup Portfolio organized by Sehkmet and Synnabar and will also be featured as the cover art. Please take a moment to check out the website and browse all the other great submissions that will make up this beautiful volume. The portfolio is scheduled to make it's debut at Anthrocon, after which it will be available for sale online as well!

Something to do with the dexterousness (excuse my spelling) of cats? In most games, Dexterity determines how good you are with a bow. That might be it...I'm speculating, but now someone is going to make a dog an archer just because you said that.
About art, ABOSLUTELY LOVELY!!!!! I love the use of lighting. It reminds me of Thomas Kincade. (sorry if I butchered his name)

Yes, and I love him to bits and I'd gladly let him indulge himself if only I didn't want to (a) cuddle him, and (b) keep him in the house.
This is him, by the way (I'm so proud :) --

This was fun :) , I hope the collab was a good experience for you! I know you worked super hard, so thanks a lot for your patience with this!
8} Id love to do it again with you one day!
I really like how you lighted the piece, and how the light leads the eye to our focal point. She glows like a goddess! You really did a marvelous job :)

Just looking at what so many great srtists have said above me, I don't feel I can give an accurate description of juat how incredible this piece is. All I can do is congratulate both of you from the highest plateau and add this to my list of favorites.
Incredible work, and just...damn.

You two guys rock - erm - girls. Artists! Yes, artists, both of you, Sekhmet for sketching and you for colouring, though viceversa you'd still rock the same.
Wonderful lighting and I must say the rocks in the front look as realistic as a photo. How I'd love to take a glimpse over your shoulders while working. Both of you. *sigh in admiration*

wow....give me a second to rub my eyes of the awesome so i can see again.
okay, now that that's done. The detail in this piece is absolutely amazing. I'm afraid to ask what resolution you started in even XD the lighting, the dust IN the lighting. the pose, the fur. HOLY CRAP! i mean this is wonderful! you two did an excellent job from sketch to final product. And now that you've told me this collection will eventually be available online...heh, looks like i have a new goal of stuff to buy ^^;

oh she is WELL worth watching..though that may spell trouble for your accounts ;P. But really, personally, Id much rather spend money on art and support artists than many other things most folks spend their money on. Good to see you lurking! I still need to make you a thank you badge for snagging up Simbelmyne at Califur last year C:. (Do you have a character reference by any chance?)
No, no real reference, just generalized char descriptions... some general guidelines, like, (mostly?) melanistic (black spots on black fur [not blue!]), green eyes, digitigrade, fur on head not hair, etc.
This is the last commission I got (Califur V badge) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....FORMATTED2.jpg not sure about the brown eyebrows, but I didn't really notice that until after the con. :P
Other commission years ago was from XianJaguar: http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/.....ar/BluStar.jpg
No other commissions really, a few badges but I don't have scans of them. I have several commission items from that Auction of Love thing I should really try to cash in on though - considering I have no money these days for art. I just never seem to get around to it. >_>

This is quite amazing. The details are exquisite and the lighting is just awe-inspiring. Every time I look at it I find something new.
I am curious about her feet. I so very (very) rarely see footwear on furry characters that look anything remotely like something that was actually designed by someone with paws. Though I'm not seeing anything that actually looks like protective surfaces on the undersides, just support straps. Either way it's one of those kinds of thoughtful details I can appreciate. And no, I am not a foot fetishist -- it's just one of those things that breaks the illusion for me in many pics.

Again a pretty nice picture of a lynx. It is also has a slight erotic attraction. The sketch and the coloring are perfect and both of you can be really proud of the outcome of the collab. The mountainscape in the far background and the vast landscape in between are just totally brilliant and I would love to visit that place myself. The design of the character and her accessoires are damn great too. I like these gauntlets at her paws and the clothes at all. ^^
