Another mini painting I just finished...
This was an exercise in color theory - with a warm/cool color scheme, and a snowleopard in a pose I sketched up during one of my random fits of sketchiness. I am really pleased with the way this one turned out.
6.25"x9" (roughly - I have a few pieces of illo. board this size that the art store cut for me. Its not a standard size, but hey, works for me.) acrylics and microns on illustration board.

I absolutely adore the lighting, the pose, and especially the way you've done the headfur on this! I imagine that sort of only-slight-longer-than-normal-fur style of headfur on my characters, but not many folks seem to be able to pull it off.
Back to lighting; great stuff, definitely convers the feeling of warmth. The shadow does seem s bit too thin around the midsection for the subject to be casting it, but perhaps that's just my eye. Really, the only thing that bugs me about this piece is in the character design; the more zoomorphic hands seem to contrast widely with the more anthropomorphic feet in a way that's a bit discordant. Is that intentional, a bit of a counter to the usual digitigrade-feet-and-human-hands approach?

Actually, the choice to give her more plantigrade feet resulted from 2 things - the pose, and the size of the board... I really wanted to see her pawpads on the raised leg, and giving her digitigrade feet would have made them longer - and go off the page.. also the legs would bend differently with digitigrade, and the pawpads wouldn't be as visible. Kindof a shame, as the original pose sketch I did had digitigrade feet also. It just didn't work out the same when I drew it again on one of my small illo. board pieces. I don't mind it though..
