Description
Ok this seems necessary... >.>--> these guys are CATS and NOT dogs!! --> people learn the difference, it's not so difficult
The two siderian brothers Axel (left) and Morten (right) defend their land -the territory around Fortress Sætensen- against the revenge taking relatives of Bjørn...
My main character Stian (the son of Morten) has killed Bjørn; as revenge for threatening him, attempting to kill him and bullying him during is childhood. After this murder, the relatives of Bjørn wanted to look after this murderer and ended up at his territory - but unfortunately for them, they meet the rest of Stian's family and will face these two powerful brothers who will not allow the intruders on their land..meanwhile Stian has been disappeared...
This will be somewhere behind the scenes of my third book/online graphic novel. Maybe it will appear as a scene, maybe not..
These two guys Axel; (a character of ) and are siderians.
Siderians are a horse sized FELINES. They look like some kind of Siamese cat - pantherine hybrid; so NO dogs/wolves at all! Or do my cats look like dogs??...really people...learn the differences
...or read the artist comment! -...srry for the caps lock but sometimes people have their eyes somewhere lost in their pockets or something...
Please don't copy and/or use it without my persmission

Lol- yeah true. Though their faces look a bit too -as I call it- kitten-like. But this is also quite an ancient drawing... in the more recent drawings the siderian's faces are havier and more pantherine like.

These characters are SO OBVIOUSLY feline. People who think otherwise must not know how vastly different the anatomies are from one another.

So sad that there are people who can't decide of an animal if it's feline or canine... I've never thought there people who can't 0.0

Yeah and it's often the extreme wolf-loves who don't know how a wolf actually looks - or well let's say 'wolfs' haha

Oh my, I never thought that there are people like that

They are called wolfaboos on DA XD

When I first saw this, I knew it was a feline, but I can also see how some people may mistake them for a dog or wolf. They do have stronger and more defined paws, typical of artists on dA with wolves, and their skinny body structure also lends them to being more canine-ish...
But I can see the features that make it out to be a cat, also. I think this is a really cool species, and I love it!

Yes, people on DA often draw wolves wrong but also felines wrong. So it does not help with getting a correct image of how a wolf and cat actually look. But cheederians are defenitely not looking any canine with the long legs i think - because many felids have long legs. But yes I guess that the extreme wolf-bias here on DA direclty make people think about canids >> Pretty annoying, especially because I see the differences clearly. That's why I have made this: [link] - just to show my watchers that cheederians have no canine features at all. Anyway I'm very glad that you instantly recognized them as felines

I saw that Cheedarian tutorial, and I thought it was very detailed. You must have done a lot of research!

Yesh i did - it took a lot of time but I've made a lot of mistakes too...actually the same as I described in the tutorial. So it was a good exercise for me too

This land is your land, the metropolis 152 km away is my land.

That means you would live in Norway or Sweden

That was a mispresentation, I meant 152 light years away.

So you mean you live somewhere far away from planet Earth?

Yes, in a galaxy far far away.

I seriously can not see why anyone would think cheederian's are supposed to be dogs...
Amazing picture... Love the fur, they look so soft!! And I adore their faces!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Yeah it amazes me as well...It seems that a lot of people on DA don't know exactly what are the differences between canids and felids...but to me it's just such a biig difference that I cannot imagine how people can see dogs in my cats...maybe it's just the wrong image people on DA sometimes have of wolves. Sometimes even the weirdest creatures are called wolves Oo

I can't say I've ever mistaken a cat for a dog! Perhaps they just see what they wan't to see... Which makes me wonder; do they really look at the pictures for more than a second..? :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes exactly! people want to see dogs in almost every four legged carnivore...It seems that they fav and RUN! without even looking at or the cats themselves, or the artist description Oo

Yes, it's so sad and stupid... O_o

Damn ... how do you professionally draw: D I love your works xD invite me to friends? I really want to learn to draw and little knowledge of my August useful xD> 3 and how much longer do you draw?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I draw seriously since ehh 2006 I think, so I think since 6 years. However I have drawn fantasy and wild animals already since I can hold a pencil...but this was mostly just crap

How do people confuse these guys with dogs??!? Must be the long legs 'cause the rest is clearly feline (to me anyway 
Awesome work mate, as always 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good question...the legs are by far heavier than the legs of canines - and even than most felids. At least if you see Servals, cheetahs, caracals, lynxes and even housecats you can see that the legs are as long as the legs of cheeds and even thinner than cheed-legs. So yeah...I'm indeed amazed by the anatomical knowlege of most people here on DA

Ah, they just look wonderful!
Really impressive, how everything is set up - the way they look, the lightning. Oh yes, they look powerful!
And who'd dare to enter their territory when they see such impressive kitties? 8D

Thanks! ha yeah indeed, so it pays to sneak in their territory

It was my pleasure
You know I really love your art ^.^

haha surely not! However it may end in a fierce battle ...and one thing becomes clear: don't mess with the Sætansen family...

Stunnig picture like always *.*. Hahaha i love their faces \m/. And a wonderful territory for sure 8D. Oh noesss. I can't believe it! People still think Cheeds are canines? O_____o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!!! Yeah they have their kinda fortress somewhere on their territory as well XD
And yeah...some people still fav cheederians in the folders wolves/canines/dogs whatever woofs...It can be accidentally but I also know that there are really people who see slender animals with pointy ears in temporal forest and think WOLF without looking to their huge feline paws and short feline face Oo...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol a fortress? hell nice! *3*
Yeah, i remember first time i saw Stian i though it was a wolf..but i din't payed much attention to the pic >:U then i started to think, he doesn't have wolf characteristics...the big paws,head format and of course the body structure...O3o
It is strange because you always put on the picture's description that Cheederians are felines...perhaps most people just look at the pictures O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep. Oh maybe you saw him on an old drawing then? Because I have to say...that among my cheeds he's one my most 'feline looking' characters - especially the people who have an Oriental cat directly see his Balinese cat face and appearance. So yeah to me I'm seriously veryveryvery amazed if people see a wolf in Stian because if he was 6 times smaller he almost could have won prices on a catshow as being a white Oriental Longhair or Balinese...so yeah nothing wolf in him at all...and because of the strooong bias there is on DA toward wolves I always say in the description that cheeds are cats and not wolves at all.

Absolutely STUNNING work, MysticA! 
I adore their powerful, dominant stances, and the defiant expressions! I'm also growing to like Axel more and more, and I love how his fur look here, and those piercing eyes. The backlighting on both characters is absolutely gorgeous, and I love how the blurred bg draws attention to them - also loving how the other two cheederians look shadowy and out of focus.
Very realistic and emotive - a wonderful piece yet again!

Thanks!! Yeah I have to say that Axel & Morten are also one of my favs - I can't really choose between the two. Both have something very special. And yeps I tried to create a kinda depth of field effect and played again with one of the most difficult lighting thingie - backlit ...only multiple (more than two..) light sources is more difficult 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very welcome indeed, and yes, I agree, there definitely is something special about both of them.
And it really worked out very well - you seem very talented indeed with difficult lighting effects, it's one of my favourite aspects of your work! <3

wow this is so beautiful! They look so strong and rea to defend their home! AWESOME! this is really beautiful! I love how the light illuminates them and their strenght as they stand together!

Thankies!! Yeah it's actually due to Stian's actions that his father and the rest of the family gets in trouble...hehe shall I spoil? Hehe better not - oh wait I already did in the artist comment

oh no! I love Matthias though! but that would be funny hahaha! Yeah acutally when I was sending my friend pictuers of Cheederians and she told me she liked the dark males I only had a pictuer of Matthias so I scent her that so she likes him a lot too. I told her how funny he could be.

I love the poses and the back lighting. It makes them look so imposing and majestic

This is absolutely fantastic! As a photographer, this looks exactly like a photograph would. perfect choice to blend the foreground characters, and you drew an amazing background bokeh. I absolutely love this piece, I think this is my new favorite of yours! Fantastic backlighting as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe thanks a lot! your compliments and suggestions are often very meaningful! -especially the 'fresh' look of a critical photographer helps! My aim is indeed to give my work a kind of photographic but yet mystic and fantasy like effect
