Have a look at a picture of the rear end of an impala. There is a distinct 'M' in black surrounding their tail and back of their legs. I went on safari and saw impala. The locals had something similar to what westerners would call an "old wive's tale", in that the 'M stood for Mc'Donald's - lion's fast food.

What an epic scene :0
I like the different angles you used, as well as their positions. Wonder where they're racing off to in such a hurry?
Lovely work with the anatomy and shading--simple, yet effective in showing muscles, yess.
That poor impala seems so out of place with those predators--and it wouldn't have a chance against the two of them--hope they're friendly~
Curious, though, what all is that cheetah comprised of? Besides the wings, it doesn't look all cheetah (tail markings, facial structure, thicker limbs)

maybe because the cheetah is the commissioner's fursona and not "just" a cheetah?

I s'pose that works; characters can be made to have different body structures than their species.

Esava In reply to UnfortunateCorvid [2011-11-16 14:35:10 +0000 UTC]
The character is actually an anthro macro cheetah with steroid/bulky muscles. I had to Feralize it. So all I actually did was coloring this character exactly like the reff the commissioner gave me. I am amazed some people didn't realize that yet with commission work And the spots on the tail were just large, and teardrop marking was different placed, which may give the illusion that the cheetah looks /different/.
I hope you do understand I am just drawing what I get paid for . I admit I am not 100% perfect at cheetah anatomy, not even lion anatomy. But im still working on improvement.

Haha, a macho cheetah, that must've been pretty interesting to work with, ff.
But no, I just noticed that maybe since you draw lions more often, the anatomy of them might have rubbed off on your cheetah. I figured the tail spots and face markings were on the character, but with the bigger muscles and those combined, I was thinking maybe the commissioner combined a cheetah and leopard or something.
I was wruung.
I mainly only mentioned that because I didn't know if you were going to take critiques on this account since I know of some dArama that started from them on the previous account, so instead of doing so, checked to see if the cheetah was "different" in any ways--seems it iss

oh no, id love to have critique when people point flaws and things I should improve on. I used a rather complicated pose reff for the cheetah [link] only I tried bit of different angle instead, which is possibly causing the noticeable flaws xD but i gues since the character is macro steroid cheetah its okay its bulky XD I'll try better the next time.

Oh, boy, that does look like a strange pose to ref from and get what you had. Maybe try using multiple references for ranges of such a position? :U
And man, I looked at what the cheetah is as an anthro on fA and was freaked out |:

True, but finding the right foto is pretty hard on google XD; and if I find the correct pose its in a different angle! I wish there was such thing as 3D models where you can turn and move around the model for refference XD like posemaniacs.com do with humans.
and LOL xD

Yeah, it's a shame that posemaniacs doesn't do something like that with animals, but the sheer variety in animals would just be too much of a challenge, I guess, haha.
Oh, but a nice site for animal stock is Kimballstock . I personally use Shutterstock , but that site's also pretty handy, even if neither have the sheer amount of stock that Google provides.
Youtube even might be good for some stock, maybe by looking up some videos could provide some stills, if paused. I've only tried that method for animating, but it could work for art pieces, too, I'm sure.
Hope that helps some~
