This is just a quick sketch idea, I had, and right now I know it may not be percisily the postion ShastaCat asked for. But, what I read on the commission info. made me look up one of my fav Japanese animes to get insprastion and a better ideal on how to make this feline look like this. The anime is called 'The Cat Returns'

But, besides all that, ShastaCat I want know if this is the kinda of look you are aiming for, for your feline charcters, before I contuine to work on the commission.
