Deni [Canine / Feline] Reference
I uploaded this 4 days ago on dA and reuploaded it 'cause I made changes on the muzzle and other things. (I got notified how badly I had the muzzle drawn. I suck at drawing felines, dammit!)
Some info, please read before asking question and / or pointing out the obvious. :I
- They're both similar in personality, colours and of course looks. (besides the extra stripes on the feline for dang obvious reasons)
- The size difference is like on the ref sheet, so it's noticable that the feline is smaller than an average big cat. (cuz I'm a shortass irl)
- I tried my best to keep the canine's original design on the feline so there's no identity loss. And I also tried my best to make her stand out and look less like other characters. Kind of difficult when all tigers are orange with black or brown stripes. :L
- If the feline is drawn as a domestic cat, she's either a mainecoon or a regular lil' tabby. ^^
- I don't care which one you draw to represent me in your artwork. If you love dogs then draw her as a dingo, if you love cats then draw her as a cat or a tiger. It's up to you.
I just love it when Mushy draws her as a cat whenever he draws cute art, I like that concept of forbidden love in general. (dog - cat love) In a symbolic way, I've always seen a man's representation as a canine and a woman's as a feline. (judging characteristics yanno)
And I had the canine character because I was stuck mainly... there was this website I was frequently on, and the whole fandom sunk in, so that's the main reason I had a canine form, ahem. Anyway. Past tense. Moving on now. (if I may)
- Main character had a dogtag since 2007, but it was a blue one. And it's grey since I started to draw it often when Mushy came along haha.
I've had a feline form for many years (2007 to be precise), it all started with a cheetah, then I had a mainecoon cat form, back to cheetah then a tiger. I love stripes more than spots. And I luff big cats more than domestic kitens. Sorry lol. Oh oh, I used to draw my canine character with striped socks for a good while years back, haha.

Felines are indeed a pain to draw. Shorter muzzles and other body structure than canines. I have canine anatomy in the back of my head whenever I draw something feral >.< it's always a problem that I need to take away. The muzzles are hard too due to they are so wide. I love doing canine faces ;;
I think the main rule about drawing feline faces is not NOT make the muzzle flat/straight like canines. They have a more sloping profile WHICH I find a problem when I do front views or general poses.
I find it amazing how young artists who is around 12-14 years old start drawing chibi/cats so easily ._. when they will be in my age or a bit younger they will probably be experts on drawing feline faces *envy*

The idea with felines is that their upper jaw is much bigger then their lower, and their lower jaw is more pronounced. They're muzzle slants into their rather then like a dog where it's flat till the nose. Hard to explain, but their face is a little more of a pain to shape right. XC

This was about the best I've gotten at shaping their face, I hope it can help, somewhat.
