Artist's Comments

Well I didn't plan on this picture at all but I couldn't sit down at the computer without getting a terrible migraine so decided to doodle on paper. I have long ago had this weird random idea of felines almost dressed up to almost look like tribal leaders, ie headress and all. This idea is spawning some new ideas of making the feline represent the natural elements(ie other animals in the ecosystem, foliage, earth, water, wind etc). I hope to do some real media paintings/colored pencil works to explore the idea further. I uploaded the last sketch that mirrored this next sketch to my scraps: [link] . The first one is quite a bit more involved.

I am discouraging critique because I do see the flaws in the anatomy, but since it was a quick type sketch, I don't much want to work on this pic anymore but rather emphasise on improving on my errors on the next piece :). However if folks have ideas of how what they would like to see in future concept sketches/polished pieces, I am more than happy to hear any ideas!!!

(the hearts Im pretty sure were subconsciously inspired by Kenket's gorgeous recent upload: [link] GO CHECK IT OUT! her work is breathtaking.)

tools: 8.5 x 11 inch copy paper (though the pic itself probably is 7 x 5 inches or so.), mechanical pencil .5mm lead
