What's good about this! the freaking amazing anatomy of the cats!! The lining looks so cool, like its realistic but here and there angular. love it. This overall looks very professional, very refined, and very good.
Now I admit, this might be more of a personal thing on my part, but the colors seem murky and depressing to me, and didn't leave much of an impact. If the sky was even a touch bluer, or there were some flowers, maybe greener foliage or lighter colored grass, it would have left a lot bigger impact on me.
The one other thing I could complain about is the face of the bigger cat. The outline of the top of the head makes it look like it has a large forehead, combined with the cheekbone that would regularly look stunning, throws the head off. As well, the eyes give it a pervy-look, especially since it'l licking the other cat, and |I think if it somehow had a more peaceful look-eyes closed maybe, or less of a smile, it would change the feeling of the scene. I know that wasn't what you intended to happen, and of course I realize the anatomy plays a part on this.

It has been a while since I last critiqued something from the wonderful AFRICA series, though I have never missed one issue!..I keep reading them, and since my time has severely shortened, never had the time again to construct a fair critiue as Arven's wonderful comics deserve!
THIS DRAWING...
It is beyond awesome!
Youhave learnt a lot from those tutorials, Arven, dear friend!
The watercolor use is something I have NEVER managed to master myself...I find this piece to be magnificent, as Chui bribes Bibi into following along his plans against Africa.
The semi-realistic style you used with them still allows them as much expression and life as your slightly more stylized versions on the comics!
The use of color desaturation, I believe you nailed VERY well! (yet another thing I NEVER managed myself)
These sienna-toned, almost greenish hued shades for their fur and the overall "dry brown" tone to the picture adds up a lot of believability to my liking (real wild cats are rarely fully orange) so...what may I say?
I fidn this piece awesomely well done, and also appreciate the fair use of cat anatomy, whch is superb here (just look at Chui's paw pose, so lifelike and natural looking, the wa in which Bibi's frown of comfort looks just like a house cat's "smile", with her small round eyebrows furrowed to the center of her forehead...the hind leg of Chui and the slightly splayed toes, as many felines pose when they comb or groom their self, or others' fur...
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
I will highly point this, for it struck me as a very cool piece, beautiful to look at, and a great addition for non-comic art for the series!

I SHIP their friendship
i would see these two ending more as a kind of sibling relationship rather than a romantic one... but thats just my opinion

they seem to go really well together but only as friends
and i think it would be really cute to see him get protective over his little Caracal friend if she ever got hurt >w<

XD There are countless times where wild creatures break away from what is expected. We humans are foolish enough to think we can know exactly point-on what species will always do in the wild. Instinct doesn't rule everything in the animal kingdom XD it can be broken, and has been shown to be not as dominant in the animal kingdom as we think. Either that, or we are all ruled by some sort of instinct-trigger, even as humans. But either way, I don't ship these two, though I do love this picture!

you know i have heard of this female lion that started taking care of a baby antelope ( i think it was a antelope) so maybe this could happen in the wild

ARVEN92 In reply to clariktheking [2015-11-03 23:15:34 +0000 UTC]
Oh yes I watched that video^^ It happens more commonly than we think, although the great majority of time it's a nursing female and a young calf/cub from another species, often because of the female's maternal instinct.
I don't think Chui would ever be so keen on taking care of someone unless it was his kin XD

clariktheking In reply to ARVEN92 [2015-11-04 00:05:28 +0000 UTC]
that is true but you must agree that chui is the type of suave jerk that would date a person that all for the sake of showing he can get who ever he wants EVEN IF IT DEFIES NATURE!!!!!!!!!!

I know this isn't the point of the comic, but have you ever considered doing a comic about an interspecies relationship?
