The Final Light of Day

Postby ~Firebird Rising~ » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:00 am

Welllllllll... I was bored. I started this drawing a long, long, long time ago, long enough that I don't remember when I started it. I was bored, my original drawing plan of the day wasn't working out, yada yada yada, and I decided to take this old one back out of the drafts. I touched it up a little and Voila! This!

It's supposed to be a cheetah, standing silhouetted against the horizon, as the final light of day sweeps over the plains and turns everything a deep maroon hue...

I dunno. My mind weirds me out sometimes.

Anyways, now that I've sent this out to float around the Internets, someone tell me: Is this any good? I would really like some constructive criticism on this, in case I decide to do some more silhouette-y drawings in the future. ^^

    ...wow.

    This is intermediate worthy.

    I love it! <333

    Constructive criticism: maybe make the silhouette a little less fluffy? c:

This is gorgeous. <3 Love the concept and the BG! Although I agree with j u b i l e e. about making the silouhette less fluffy. Cheetahs are very slim and compact animals, and remember, they live in a very hot country, so they have no need for thick fur - their fur is flat and thin, just barely coating their muscles and giving them a smooth outline. Still, I love how you did this. :3 Great job, keep it up and you'll be at Intermediate level in no time!

Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet

Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight

Wow... You guys really think this is intermediate worthy? :shock: I'm flattered! :D Thank you for the tips, too! I'm going to try and un-fluffify it immediately! :3
