People kept telling me that the green background (on the original version ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49058322/ ) of this picture) doesn't work well, so I finally decided to remake the background in a little bit more natural environment for the Snow Leopard. So here it is, wintry, snowy, much like the weather outside for that matter. :D
I should say I rather like this background, although I'm not much satisfied with the foreground snowflakes. Figured out it'd look better if I add some, but wasn't quite sure how exactly to paint them.... Anyway. I'd take suggestions, but I won't likely make any more improvements soon (since I accidentally deleted my .psd file with the snow :( ).

Hope you enjoy it!
