Description

:iconatsd1::iconatsd2::iconatsd3:

Sadly no further Streams can be recorded of this since upgrade to Snowleopard Camtwist fails to work correctly anymore. This was orginally Character Creation - WIP. I liked this pose much better, its more dynamic and flowing to the character. I need to correct the tail as of right now it appears too stiff, this will be corrected by the final piece.

So far this piece is really coming out well, and I can see a rather mystical look to the character. The anatomy is coming along rather nicely, and it's good that you changed the thickness of its tail so it looks more proportional to the rest of its body. The colour choices go well with each other as well, which is also good. The fur is looking good so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the character's fur take shape.

However, there are some places where this piece falls flat on its rear end. At the moment, the cat's left hind paw (and somewhat the right hind paw as well) seems to just float in thin air, even though there's mist surrounding it. I'm not sure if you're already aware of this, but I though I'd point that out. Also, to me, some of the plantation seems like it's just pasted on, and doesn't look like it's actually part of the environment. Perhaps having some ground showing through the mist might help rectify this problem, along with having some of the plants blurred a little to give off the effect of a fog. That's just something that I feel could help increase the mysterious aura I'm getting from the overall piece.

Other than that, I don't see anything else that really sticks out, and I'm looking forward to the end result <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />
