Here's a pic of a feline character who is owned by one of my best friends. This is Serena, as the title suggests. I need a lot of practice on furs with shorter muzzles. Hence why there have been two feline pics almost in a row.
I dont know why but furs with short muzzles seem to kick my ass and I'm not liking it so expect to see more felines and stuff in the futire until I am satified with drawing the faces.
However overall Im pretty happy with the pic. I tried a little something new with the hair and honestly I have mixed emotions about it but I might practice this technique a little more.
Anywho once again I'm heading off to bed.

Honestly, that's the part that kicks my ass I was talking about.
If I actually attempt to shade in a feline muzzle, she then looks like a rabbit.
It doesn't feel right to go the cheap way out and giving her a more box-like muzzle since cats really dont have muzzles like that.
I think the shape of the head is what's throwing me off. I'm trying to find that fine line between realistic and cartoonish. I personally am not a fan of realistic life-like animal heads on an anthro's body and looking almost anime with the same shape head structures, a nose and a simple smile.
Like I said give me a species with long muzzles and I'll be fine, but the show muzzles are what's killing me.
All and all thanks for liking the piece. Heh, I'm trying, to say the least.
