WOW
NOW this baby took a loooong time to cook up! Just to prove to you guys im not JUST a traditional artist! I actually did most of this last year around octoberish i think... but i finally decided to finish it now! Bad time to finish it really- exams on monday- wednesday, not a wise idea but hey ho! I'll get over it XD
Hmm now onto the actual picture, i tried to capture emotion in this, once again i think i failed, one thing i can;t do is emotion with anthro, let alone feral!! I'm awful at ferals, so i'm very proud of this one i have to say, but there are quite a few things im not liking- her hair, looks like a white bush o3o... looks a bit odd to me, but i'll get over it.
One thing i DO like is the fact for once i got all her markings right YEYYY, and i quite like the trail behind her and the background, i wanted to make it quite dark, i think i achieved that a bit/ Now i think i just need to head for more realism!
i would LOVELOVELOVE Crits on this one, especially on how to make the fur more real (the stripes and all) if you can link me to any tuts you like please do!!
Anyways! Enjoy your dose of RAWRangry tabby, i had great fun with this picture

This piece of artwork just screams, "Fury! Rage!" at me for some reason. I don't know if that's what you wanted to depict, but I think it does have a lot of emotion in it.
I like how Tabby seems to pop out of nowhere in this image, as if she's charging you or something. She looks like a wild beast, out of control. Her eyes look a bit crazed.
As for that mane, I'd say you should have made it swooping backwards a bit. If she's really in motion and not just floating there it'd be swept back from the windforce, you know?
I think her muzzle and general mouth area looks a tad narrow, as well. And you could have added a more "wildish" effect if you had elongated the tongue. It's hard to see and also hard to tell what it is and looks just slightly out of place.
The paw that we can see is very nicely done, however. I especially love how it's kind of expanding out with its claws extended. The curved claws look especially dangerous in this image.
As for fur realism, I find that drawing each piece of fur individually gives it a nice effect. Does that make any sense? You could draw a couple of different colored lines over the image to make it look a little more like fur on her if you wanted to go for that realism thing.
Anyways, it's nice to see something digital from you! It's always fun having more than one media, don't you think? Wonderful job as always my friend. C:

Yeah that is what i wanetd it to depect definatley! I'm super glad you picked up on that
Haha again bang on target i wanetd her to look out of control just coming out of the shadow.
Yeahh im not so good at the motion things i really should practie that, i've been practicing more with poses lateley but not so many action ones... i should try them more!
Yeah thats the problem with her tounge soemtiems it looks really weird because it crazy colours :S I should have elongated it its part of her biology for it to do that when her roars... dang XD
YES that paww!! I was sooo happy with it i think its my favourite part of the whole picture and yes her claws are designed to be like daggers stab in and shred
Yeah do you have a good tutorial by any chance for fur? I should have taken the patience to do that really :/
Thankyou! I do like to vary, digital is great you dont have to scan anything haha!

Ooh, I just love the colours
The fur actually looks ok, but there are plenty of custom brushes on DA which will make it much easier to do XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thankyou!!
Yeah i did use a brush to do it, quite a simple one though

Wow, this is a pretty picture! Love the odd raggedness of the mane.
Personally I can't give any crits on the fur, as I suck at it anyways XD

D: Awwrs, Tabby but this is beautiful, I don't think you failed showing emotions. She really looks like in a rawr mode.
Tabby have really improved on everything on your digital drawings. :'D Keep on improving Tabbykins. <3

Yeah i wanted her eyes to be super prominent, a friend said i should reveal gums more when they're rawr-ing and i think that could help 
Thankyou so much <333
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I think that would make it more rawring mode. x3 But I like how this is at the moment though. :'D Awwrs, you're welcome, Tabby.

Oh put it on DA pleassee do!! I can't wait for you to get some more art up! How come you moved accoutns? i knows its an outdated question but why? i loveddd your finnish namee

I'll put them up after I have found a camera and it's done firing in the kiln with its glace. :'D Lately, I have been having an art block, so there aren't any new art from me... except for my novel who almost nobody reads except for Ribbons. D: I would be so bored if I had a writer's block. XD Well, the reason for moving accounts is silly. I wanted to get a new fresh start on my art and really I just wanted a name that would fit me better. XD Weird, eh? Hopeanuoli is a name of a character in an anime, so that's where I got Hope's name and since Hope wasn't my main fursona anymore, I created this one... ^_^; So yeah... That's my story behind that. x3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lost your camera? Laaame D: And i have seen your novel i need to get round to readin it! I haven't read a new book in like 2 years? seruiosouly my life is so full its sooo hard to get any time to read :C And art clocks suckk!!!
Fair doos, its a valid reason i fyou believe it to be!Ah right? so even when we first me hope wasn;t your main 'sona? I never knew that! I have to say i've never loved wolf characters so much, but i dunno hope i have ALWAYS loved, i think its the simplistic markings she had at first then they evolved at you wrote your novels and developed her character, i think she is a fine character with a lot of sentimental value #]

I didn't loose it, I don't have one at all. D: Milla's kitty Pepper chewed up the wirings for my phone so I can't even do that. 
I think when we first met, Hope was starting to be my fursona. Can't remember. XD Has been a long time since. <3 Yeah, but back then I was mainly a wolf artist, urgh... I'm glad that I draw other than wolves now. I wuv kitties. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww lamee :C Yeah it would be finee!
When i have time i really want to read it
Yeah i think she was, and yeah i think just wolf artists are restricting themselves a bit :/
yeah you could change it back or combine it, it would be cute #] Yeah hop is lovley!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is. D:
Yay!
D: I knows, just drawing wolves would be boring. Where's the fun when just drawing bunch of crazy colored wolves...?
For the newer references for my series, I'll combine the two forms together. : D

YEahh i totally agree!! Yeah! That would be awesome!!

Wow, this is absolutely fantastic. Your anatomy, the coloring and shading, the emotion in the picture, it's all stupendous. Excellent job all around.
You've improved so much. (: I especially like her paw, it looks really good. Kudos.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww thankyou! I tried so hard on it!!
Aww thanks (i like the paw too n_n) Usually im really bad at them but i took some proper reference this time |D

tabby this is just fantastic
just
bloody
fantastic
MAJOR props on this one!
you said you weren't sure on the emotion
maybe if the lips were pulled back more, some teeth and gums showing maybe, um and some more wrinkling around the nose.
oh and maybe if the mouth was a bit wider, like height ways... (height ways? that make sense?) thinking that might make her look more ferocious... if that's what you were going for??
i hope this helps, i'm not used to giving any uh constructive critisism... if that's what it was? xD
love you loads
xxxxxxx

Aww thankyou kateey!!
Ahh yesss, more gum and teeth being shown!! Thats it! I love you for that katey! I will totally do that on the next one!! And yeah i know what you mean its a bit like she's yawning rather than roaing..

This looks amazing, I really like the feeling of power the set of the shoulders an d limbs give off.
The fur textures look really good as well. If you want to add more dept to hair, fur ect you could try using several layers (as in seperate layers each in photoshop/whatever) of colour/shade, one on top of the other, darkest first to create shadows and highlights. I work in reverse for hair but thats because it's normally in pencil

Thankyou
And yeah thats what im gonna try next time, never occured to me to used layers for the fur |D

How can you say you're not good at ferals! *is jealous of your skill*
This is just epic! I especially love that paw and the toes <3
The only thing that i can say about fur, is you have to work at it to get it just right
Anyway, this is awesomeness!
