Description Mine Avy gave me this base 5ever ago and I just never used it. Since I love cheetahs more then any other cat, it's only fitting I attempt to make myself a fursona I'll enjoy drawing. I'm not entirely sure about these markings or colors in general, but I do want to keep a marking representing a third eye ("and fighting eyes, like one surprise, it takes three to see"). I would appreciate any critique from friends who know me well enough to say whether these colors and whatnot are well enough or not? And you're welcome to color something to show me what you mean if you want or whatever. I'd appreciate it. I might need a decided design in order to make a very special birthday gift for two very good friends of mine who may or may not be yenabutts. I can't get hyenas to work for me, but cheetahs are kind of my color to begin with which makes it easier.

maybe you should go for a king cheetah colouration??? 31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma5…christiansperka.files.wordpres… ;
They tend to have more blotchy colourations which might work well with making it less uniformly patterned??? You could possibly have the back stripes melding into that eye marking 
idk

King Cheetahs are my favorite, but I have a Cheetah therian character who's actually quite similar in personality to myself (some of my base traits, anyways) who is a king cheetah. So I am deliberately avoiding using those for a sona design.

The tail striping us great, but yes, I agree with the others on the spots thing. :'D Lots of blotchy-style spots would be great, opposed to blatantly round ones uniformly patterned.

I absolutely love the tail striping... I agree with Avy on more random assignment of the spots. I think she'd like great and a lot like you with a wide range of 'spots' of different shapes and sizes. It would give her a unique 'Dellz' look. I also think you should tone down the white on the face... or give her that pretty, slightly darker yellow color around the eyes opposed to white. For some reason that reminds me more of you than of the current face coloring that she has.

The colors are well enough, I like that shade of yellow. But you've made the spots much too... what's the word for this... too rigid. Too organized. It looks like she was manufactured almost the way her spots all line up perfectly. Which is particularly not good for a fursona character as you are very chaotic and disorganized. Try putting spots on anatomical landmarks instead of lining them up in rows so much. So put an arrangement of spots on her shoulder, an arrangement on her thighs, and use the location as a way to make her design easy to duplicate rather than their shape/pattern.
