Description
I couldn't get stuff to show up on this so I took a photo instead. Yes, I know already that few people will like this now but oh wells. Its your problem. After all, the stupid stat thing isn't there anymore!
As for the picture itself, I was expiriementing with this so I would like to hear some "professional" feed back on this. I took a picture of a puma running from profile view, then I rotated it slightly mentally and tried to draw it. How did I do? (yes, I know I should have used a cheetah ref, not a puma but I guess it was a good challenge).
Do you think there should be more muscle tones? Are there things missing from this that should be there like muscle shapes, shadows, or other things that you can think of?
Oh, I also edited parts of it with a mouse such as cloning and smudging on that actually body of Aerisis because the graphite reflected the light. You will likely figure out where rather quickly.
As you may have already figured out, this looks much better in person.

I love this, instant fav.
'Professional' critique? I'm not so great at that, but here goes.
Maybe a little more muscle on the hind leg, but only a little! The front paws look a tiny, tiny bit too big. Though the picture is overall great and realistic. Looks like there's a little too much fur on the front legs, but this is your own design, right? So really all critique could be ignored and just say that's what it's supposed to look like.
The body looks.... squished. I think it needs to be longer.
That's all.

Well, the body may be fine since she is at an angle, though I do look at it and think I should have put the rib cage a little farther up on her body to make it look longer. So I guess you are right.
The paws where hard! Erf! I always have trouble with paws. If they look good, its a miracle. XD
Thank you for this facinating expirience with your opinion.... XD

True, she is at an angle, I didn't think of that.
The paws do look good.
x) You're welcome.

Sounds like a good challenge, and I must say you managed it very well
I'm sorry I'm not able to give you any helpful pointers, you've come so much further than me in anatomy....I'm unable to see any thing that should be different
But what I can say is: This looks very natural, believable and beautiful
