Description
THIS TOOK BLOODY FOREVER.Solike. I mentioned earlier that I was still working on lineless, furry-textured art. AND I STILL NEED TO PRACTICE, because, since I have no quick and practical way of doing it, I end up redrawing limbs like 23984729 times before the picture is done. xD
Wolfy (or ) inspired me to try drawing my fursona somewhat... REALISM-LIKE. So I tried. It's strange, because all this time I've never tried to. So the tiger stripes actually look like tiger stripes, instead of extremely cartoony.
More about the "fantasy cloud world" that she lives in... I will EVENTUALLY come up with a good ref of my fursona with a GOOD explanation of her background. But basically, her 'clan' of storm tigers lives up in the land in the clouds. Yes, there are little lunar-powered buildings up there (which look like Dr. Suess castles or something. xD) YEAH. These guys are smart and they are an advanced society and all that. PLUS THEY CAN CONTROL THE WEATHER. (Nilla has snow powers.)
So... BASICALLYYESTHATSIT.
Not sure if I'm completely... COMPLETELY happy with this, but it's pretty good for me. Especially considering I've done realism like... a grand total of 3 times on the computer before this. xD
...WAITAMINUTE. I've been way too happy about this picture so far. GRUMPY GRUMBLIN' TIEM.
YEAH. The anatomy is definitely off. Due to the fact that I redrew the legs 2389741 times. :3
Plus, her back end didn't fade away quite the way I wanted it to. And the composition is a bit... BUSY.
Kay. My complaining is over. You may go back to your scheduled programming. D:
Crits are always loved/ needed. BUT I LOVE COMMENTS OF ANY KIND. o:

This looks awesome Nilla! True it isn't quite "fully detailed" to make her look entirely realistic, but there's still quite a bit of detail(especially on the front of her body and the bell).

This is absolutly gorgeous, Nilla! I love the scene and the pure feeling to this image, and the fact that you didn't use lineart, but it kind of looks like you did near the lighter spots on her face. She somewhat looks like a little beanie-baby toy set up just right in a display corner- I just want to pick her up and hug her. :3
You did a nice job on this!

Yeah... that area ended up looking pretty... flat. I dunno what happened there. D:

I looveee it! I only have one tip though! If you're going for realism on big cats, the front legs are pretty
stocky, unless thinner/longer legs is just part of her species or etc. Your anatomy is really accurate, so I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IT NOT BEING GOOD. be end!

Excellent. The fur looks good, but maybe even a bit more detail could be added to it? I also think more details in the feathers, if they are feathers, could be used in the wings. You did do an outstanding job on the fur falling over her face, though. ^^
This is one of your best works. 8D

Yep... there's definitely not enough detail for this to really look... REAL. D:
Thank you so much! x3
