Cheetah Snuggle

Haven't gotten the cheetahs names yet - they are two of the cheetahs living at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. This is a second commission to go with Pombe 2, I don't think the colors are going to match up right but it might be ok. They will be hung side by side though so I had to keep the light source the same. This was difficult since the photos were taken on different days, I ended up making a sculpture out of it and then creating my light source that way. It was time consuming but a really great exercise in the end and I think I'll use it again. As always any and all comments are greatly appreciated.

At first peek I thought this was a phoco till closer inspection I was all WHOA the detail in this is amaing. The tender feeling you get is just so warm and calming. I have seen alot of cheetah artwork but this happens to be one of the best and one of the most detailed. You added just the right amount of spots *Some people draw very few or way to many*

I simply love this peice of work if I seen it in stores i would buy it in a heartbeat. There is not very many feline works like this mostly wolves I am bad for it myself but I rather love this. ~Blue
