Description Hairy feet O:

I've always wanted to do a random catgirl from the generator on Seventh Sanctum. The general gist of it was:
-White fur, hair
-Orange eyes
-Hourglass build
-Wears mostly just belts
-Carries tail with a slight curl

It's not spot on, the huge hips made her more pear-shaped 8D The tail part I generally ignored and just went for what looked good, so if it matches then great.
They're not very catty ears, I know.

I inked this about 2.5 times - I kept having trouble with the upper body and head, then decided I hated the thick-lined brush I was using and scrapped it all to go again >> So that wasted a few days. By the end of it I was sick of the whole thing and did a quick job of the colouring & background, but I think they turned out better than if I'd done soft-shading. xD

What height is best for tall images? My screen res is 1050px tall but I have to scroll for anything higher than 900px - does scrolling matter to you? 800px seems to frame the best.

She does look a bit masculine. Id imagine shed have a hard time finding underwear with hips like that.
The hard edges help to add to the overall jagged, wild and unkempt feline side of her.
Pretty awesome work here.

Thank you (:
I keep wanting to draw her again more femininely (less scary)...

I often set the length of my works to 800px, then maybe 700 when I upload it on dA

This is pretty cute, but you're right, the ears aren't very catlike.

CyberIrina [2009-06-03 16:15:43 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty good (this is the guy behind Seventh Sanctum) - I think you did a good job with the description, and I like the mix of fur and flesh being different than the all-furry or only-fur-on-ears-and-tail standards.

The description was from memory, I was cycling though results and didn't think to copy + paste it somewhere.
Thank you - both for the comment and the website!

I'd imagine if she was a homo felis she wouldn't really need a sword? Wouldn't she be incredibly more strong, dexterous, agile, and flexible than any other feline in the jungle? Even a tiger, I mean, if she were a 'jungle catgirl' then she'd have retractable claws, the instincts and senses of a jungle cat, and the natural abilities of a human having grown up in the jungle too. She'd be at the top of the food chain.

Just my opinion though.

Well, crap.
I planned on doing this particular pose, and the sword balanced it out pretty well, but obviously I should have gone for something else because it completely screwed up the idea 8D

Lol, no. Sorry about that. After I sent it I figured I might've been a bit anal about it all. It's just that people almost always do it like you've done it. Usually that's because they think if they make it more bestial it will take away from the subject's femininity.

Anyway, no. It's still an awesome piece of art, don't mind me.

Honestly, I wasn't veering away very far from the typical anime catgirl image, which isn't very catlike at all beyond the visuals. I did consider giving her some scary looking toenails... xD
This is the kind of thing I need to keep in mind when designing characters, so thanks for bringing it up. I wouldn't have realised otherwise D:

8D Uwa~! I really like how you drew her! Looks wonderful!

Little bit hard edged but meh. o.O

Thanks (:
By hard edged do you mean the line style where some parts are more angular then curved? I think I'm more used to drawing (fit) guys, so some parts like shoulders are a bit too defined

You're quite welcome! And Yea~h. That would make sense! 8D

Ah well. It's interesting that way!

It sorta looks like her right foot's missing.

I like her uncomfortable smile, and the bite in the ear adds character.

Damn, she must be quite the runner and jumper.

zii In reply to nedunque [2009-06-01 09:30:22 +0000 UTC]

It kinda disappears behind her other leg. I edited in a sign of the rest of it (and fixed a colouring error elsewhere), though it makes her right foot look even more huge in comparison .__.;
When I'm happy with some parts of the anatomy it makes the rest look horrible

Well, the way cats move around I wouldn't be surprised. C:
