Description The Aztecs called the jaguar, "The one who kills in just one leap." Considering the Aztecs' fierce reputation, that must have been quite a compliment ...

I love how meaty and muscular jaguars look. And they are America's "big cat" - some have been spotted (no pun intended) as far north as Arizona!

This is part of my animal challenge. Woodenfang: woodenfang.deviantart.com/ suggested I draw either a leopard, a cheetah or a jaguar, so I went with the one I've never attempted before. Enjoy!

Art, me.

Heehee, he looks like somebody mildly insulted him earlier today and he's brooding and pacing while he plots his revenge >:3

Cats pretty much look like that all the time!

Wow. This is so beautiful! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!! I love their expressions, their tails and their muscles and the way you captured their character and personality in your style! I just can't decide which one I love best! You've made them look fierce & dangerous and sweet & charming at the same time!

Hmm ... fierce, dangerous, sweet and charming?

Yep, that pretty much sums up a cat, whether he or she be a house cat or a big guy.

I'm so glad you like. I had a ton of fun doing this, though the spots were tricky!

Yeah, you're really good at capturing the essence of an animal's character!  I also enjoy drawing these animals, even though I haven't done that in quite a while.
