The title just came to mind and for some reason just seemed right for this picture.

This is my first time attempting to render snow leopards so I can almost guarantee there are small flaws here and there. Mostly this picture was colored as a spur of the moment type thing. I wanted to try my hand at snow leopards as Ive never really drawn them, muchless tried to color them! It turns out their fur is trickier to render than I thought! It took me a few failures to finally get a decent grasp of how to render the fur. All in all this experiment turned out rather nicely. The background actually came together easiest of all. I probably spent in the neighborhood of an hour on the bg itself but far more on the leopards themselves. The male(above) is supposed to be sort of squinting, ie eyes not all the way open (because yes usually snow leopards eyes are rather big..which I like!)

I hope to have an excuse in the very near future to play with these critters in ps some more! I really enjoyed this piece and so in turn I hope you all do as well.
