she has no soul :)
you got a chuckle out of this dog

a mime is a terrible thing to waste.

most chucklesome dragon.

May I give you some advice?

If you look at an actual cube, you'll see that the right foreground angle of your cage is too severely tapered. Using a cube for a model is a good way to find a convincing set of perspective points on your horizon line, and a good way to set up shapes without distortion.

Thanks for the comments, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you referring to 3 point perspective to make the cage seem more realistic, perhaps?

When you're setting up a picture, and you've established the (approximate) horizon line, it helps to "pose" an actual cube in the position you want so that you can observe the degree of the angle facing you, and gauge the necessary depth. This will help you to draw lines accurately, and therefore, to choose vanishing points accurately. Once you've established accurate vanishing points, the rest of the picture will fall into place.

For instance, when I hold up a cube in front of me to match the angle of your cage, I can see that your cage is not shaped like a square, but shaped like a wedge -- which is fine, if you wanted a wedge, but not so fine if you wanted a square.

Any cube will do -- you can get a cheap balsa-wood cube at just about any crafts shop -- as long as it really is a cube, equal on all sides.

Next draw a cityscape, with a macrofur in it, you know you want to

Perspective is hard stuff, I don't even bother with it sometimes and just eyeball it as best as I can.

I play SimCity 4 to get a better idea of what stuff looks like from overhead and 3 points, but I can't draw that way to save my skin at all.
