Well this only took me, what... FOREVER?
...A year and a half.
OUCH.

A loser is me. :noes:

But a winner is =miyu-greenleaf, because this is for her, and I finally finished it!
She'd requested/held a contest for drawings of her then-newborn baby girl Amethyst, but this was wayyy back at the very end of 2005. Leopards got in there, and she said anthros or animals were fine, and this is what I got.
Come to think of it, Amethyst probably looks older than this by now. XD

Anyway, I'm still not 100% sure about the cross-lines and the texturing... My critics so far have been ambivalent about them... so if you think they look too cheesey, I'll take them off. ^^;

I'll also gladly take any other critique you might have. :)

::EDIT::
Fixed her muzzle markings, and then toned down the texturing for good measure. XD
The first version's in my scraps: [link]

But you can't take this picture. It belongs to Miyu. If you're not Miyu, it isn't yours. So don't take it.

others live as if everyday is a miracle.
Wow, this looks so lifelike! I really like the combination of the texture and the painted strokes--they make me think of an old sumi-e painting or something of the like. They also give this extra warmth and life.

My only crit would be that the ring around her muzzle is a little distracting, maybe if you broke it up a little more?

Either way, this is a great picture!
OMG!!!!!!!! That is just awesome!! I think that this was worth the wait m'dear. I totally forgot about this whole thing, but it really makes me happy you remembered. I really like the tetures and lines. The epression is adorable as well. She is 20 months now, but this is something i will always treasure. Amethyst will like it too. I''ll put it in her room. ^_^ Thanks for doing this. P.S. Sorry for typos, my keyboard has some broken keys.

I agree... it really was kind of bulky and contrasty, wasn't it?
Well... I did my best to fix it. Using real leopard cub references to boot! XD
Thanks so much! :hug:

You're more than welcome! :lol:
I'll note you all the versions so you can keep the one you like best.

XD Yeah, I know how that is... the top my Z key on my laptop fell off almost two years ago, and now the little squishy trigger thingy's coming off too. -_-;
I really should get that fixed. Or superglue it. Or something.

lol!!! This ish goernment stuffs. lol. don't think they would like me super gluing. Maybe you should get a new key board. You an usually find one for a good prie.
