I added a bit of digital paint to show the highlights...but when I come to finish this it will be oil paint....

It looks awsome Lee ...

In fact I nicked that reference before myself .. I think it was from Webshots .. shhh ...

Check out my little watercolour version that I did. Mine's flipped though > [link]

I can't wait to see the finished version of yours.

What a gorgeous creature. This does seem to be turning into a series. I'm itching to fav your tiger painting, and now I've got to wait for this drawing too! A wonderful drawing.

Thanks...Like I was saying to Jana I have quite a few wildlife pieces in the works....I tend to go through phases where I stick to the same subject until I get bored and then move on to the next...thats probably why I have so many unfinished pieces....but the tiger piece is almost there and I'll probably submit this week...

i think its cute... but yeah I agree, looks miffed about something... but I've always wanted to have a big cat as a pet... much better than a guard dog, and lots of lovely fur to cuddle Just a thought like, it'd probably play too rough and have my face off!!

Leebea In reply to NatalieAnne24 [2006-11-01 18:57:50 +0000 UTC]

Yes love cats...But I don't think I'd want to face this one in the wild....looks like it's just been woken up...

Yes snow leopards are the best...and I prefer them in their natural habitat than behind bars...
This picture will have to get in the queue with the other paintings....so I dont know when I'll finish it....

Gorgeous animal. Are you starting up a cat series, or did this just happen to pop into your head? Can't wait to see the tiger completed. This one will look great too, I'm sure.

Awesome.... seems you've got an animal portrait series then. I hope you find a good horse photo. I don't know if you've seen this DA account: [link] but they have a lot of good horse-photo collections. I uploaded a few in there as well, but they're somewhere at the beginning. They're on page 17, four of them at the very bottom.

Leebea In reply to Dyun [2006-10-31 19:50:12 +0000 UTC]

Yes quite a few animal pieces on the go...then after Christmas I'll do some human portraits....Thinking of doing the dreaded self portrait which will be interesting....
Thanks for the link..noticed your photos...great shots...
Do you go to a lot of shows....I have a friend who's sister does a few horse shows...but I never get chance to go myself..Should ask her to get some photos next time..

Dyun In reply to Leebea [2006-10-31 20:54:22 +0000 UTC]

I am REALLY looking forward to your self-portrait. It should be interesting. Will it be a simple head-shot, or will you insert yourself into a fictional scene? I can't wait to see it!
I don't go to a lot of horse shows. Would like to, but even this one I came up on accidentally. They just happen to put these together during every other summer weekend, just down the hill from where I live. I feel awkward going down there and taking photos of strangers' horses, so I've only done it this once. Don't want to get kicked in the head by one.

Leebea In reply to Dyun [2006-10-31 22:41:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes it will be quite wierd to do....I'm thinking of a fictional scene,a bit similar to my Demon skull piece...which is from the same story I've been thinking of...He'll be kind of like a priest/cardinal type character holding some sort of sceptre..probably a man of authority...

I see horse's prety much everyday on the way to work and theres one or two riding schools that I drive past...just need to find the time to stop and take a few photos...but over here the weathers always a problem...usually its raining or the sun's disapeared behind the clouds...

Oh man.... that portrait sounds awesome. Hope you get to it soon.
Yeah, I live in a place where a lot of people own horses. I usually see them riding by on the way to work. Sorry to hear about the weather over there. I'm sure I'd be glad to trade you. It's sunny here 80% of the year.

Leebea In reply to Dyun [2006-11-02 00:56:26 +0000 UTC]

I'll start soon hopefully...just need to finish decorating a room that will be used for photography and more wall space for paintings...
Your lucky over there...This morning was the coldest day yet this year....Just thankfull that I have winter gear stored in the car....just in case....
