Artist's Comments

What do you see cheetah, there in the grasses? Do you think on what the night will bring? Or do you simply bid your final farewell to mother sun as she yawns and dips below the horizon?

Can I come and sit beside you cheetah? I can hear the crickets chirping, serenading the moon, hoping perhaps sister will come out to play. I can smell acascia blooms far in the distant, faint but pure. The wind is cool but the earth still warm. How I want to sit beside you cheetah.

~~

An old piece I started but never finished, I ripped off the bg today and put on a new one. I wanted something warm and welcoming. Its not much and my style for drawing toony felines has changed since, but I hated the time I did put into it to go wasted. So here is the final.

That's so beautiful! I love the shading and the chest floof (as always)... I think I'm going to fav every single piece of art you post up :D

I love the background and the calm feeling to this, even though the colours used aren't generally used for calm scenes :) You're so talented!

Aww, nice. The mouth and tail are really cheetah-like. I love the tamed colour theme and the imaginative spots. X3 :heart:

I think this picture is very nice even if it might be old. I like the cheetah's expression, and the small poem, or artistic text you wrote in the description goes very well with the picture in overall n_n I really like the warm colors, even if they might be a little dull. They really warm one up, and somehow, I was cheered up by it.

Amazing work as always n_n
