The muzzle seems a bit long for a feline. :o

and theres me worried its too small when the foam and fur goes on :'D

It's too long in the face for a felid. Also, most of them don't have much of a stop

I think it is now that I've taken a profile shot of it o: cheers!

Is it a big cat or a domestic type?

big cat, based it off a cougar/leopard type face

... Hmm, well to me it looks very canine still. Mind if I give a redline?

I'd love if you'd do a redline, thank you :D

Here you go. =3

I was too lazy to open Photoshop, so sorry about the MS paint-ness.
Heh.

Well yeah, the best advice that I can give you is to use real life references (photographs, and if you have a cat..).

I'm not sure what KIND of feline you're going for, but I drew out a basic big cat, and one with a slightly longer muzzle too.

I hope this helps a bit! =3

Thank you kindly,
MS paint is all good!

I had so many refs open, I guess I just didnt judge the distance properly. I was just going for a standard big-cat type look

this helps loads! Thank you :)

Yay! I'm glad.

You're welcome. If you need anything else, let me know<3

You might be surprised just how long the muzzles of lions and tigers are in profile.

They are very heavy-jawed animals with long broad faces. Very different from domestic cats. A Tiger and a jaguar would be similar, cougar or leopard a bit smaller and more delicate, and of course cheetah finer again. If you furred the mask you have redlined as a lion, it would look very odd.

I never redlined any of them as a lion. I redlined it to look feline.

If you can think of a different take on this, I'm sure Faruku would appreciate the extra help.

I like crits though, so thank you. =3

yep, I'm with the others, the muzzle seems too long. An example of a cat face -http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NDfXlWqSYQ0/ThCw0Zxq4hI/AAAAAAAADhY/rLBrJ2Wc7ew/s400/DSCF0016.JPG The slope goes down at a lower incline and does not go out as far from the face as a canine's would.

Yep I see it now, cheers~

It depends on what you're going for

For a cougar or leopard, as pointed out, it's on the heavy side and the muzzle rather long. For a Lion it's spot on http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1311.....4299971134.jpg

A tiger would be somewhere in between, a somewhat shorter face is evident, http://mambobob-raptorsnest.blogspo.....and-tiger.html shows the shorter broader skull of the tiger compared to the longer one in the lion

That aside, a profile shot would be most welcome

I was going for a more leopard-y kind of medium sized feline look, was good as a lion but since this photo have chopped the front of the muzzle off! So i'll be re-uploading new pics c:
