OMG So I've spend days and days on this and it KILLED me. I never want to do short fur AGAIN or spots...stripes whatever XD So this here is a King Cheetah couple C: I'll tell you in case you don't assume it automatically, but the profiled cheetah is male and the one in his arms is female C: No ref was used for direct poses, but many many pictures were referenced for fur direction; too many to count D: All the ref I found was really grainy or too far away ect :< I finished this for my grandma, who got a look at it before I was done and wanted it X3 So this is for her!
I'll go ahead and enable the critique button, but I dunno if anything's going to change; I have commissions to do and I feel worn out on this <3

*head bobs* AFRICAN KING CHEETAH'S!!!!!!! HELL YEAZ! most don't know what they are and tell me when I draw them that I added the stripe. Stupid schools.. and people endangering the animals.... I love you kitties, why people hunt you?! ;~; So many wild cats have already been taken to exstinction. A breed of Tiger, a breed of Felix Concolour... or, erm. Cougar. xD Cat of on color, american Mountain Lion. There we go those names. lol. Anyways. GREAT job on the Kcheetahs. Did you know that they are the only 'big' cat, considered 'small cat's' by sceintists because they can purr and can't roar? Oh look at the time, I'm rambling Got to go and stop annoying you. LOL Seriously though.

aww thank you! I was motivated XD My grandma wanted to see it done. Fo realz tho, I draw all the lines, smudge it in the correct fur direction, then paint the lines again, then smudge it with a hard-edge smudge on 50%, go over it again. done lol
