Description The gray king, the snow leopard. Because I felt like doing one, and 'cause you don't see many good pictures of them.

The leopard's overall pose was very loosely referenced. Everything else was made up. Hence why the background looks so weird.
And before you ask about that fur, let's just say the Splatter brush can do more than than what it lets on.^^

I know I said back on my cheetah picture to slap me if I did another spotted cat before three or so years had gone by, but I'll ask that you don't hit me this time since its digital.XD

This is really beautiful. The eyes are such a piercing shade of blue.

I love this! Only thing is, the spots on the body look just a little too light compared to all the rest.

I would have thought so too, but the photo I used specifically for those had about the same intensity of black that these do. So I left them that way.^^ If anything, the ones on the tail should have been toned down.

Dude! How can you possibly say that you aren't a pro at Photoshop - this is awsome! <3 The anatomy, the composition, the lighting - it's al perfect!
And make no mistake, I will be using the splatter brush a whole lot more in my next pic - I want to see this magic for myself XP

You should totally make your fursona a snowy - he's so beautiful <3

Haha, thanks, Phoenix.^^ Actually, you know more about PS than I do, if what I manage to spot in your speedpaints is anything to go by. I simply... improvise a lot.XD If an approach I discover just happens to be a real technique that the experienced guys use, than all the better.

BTW, you're not technically a "professional" unless you're paid.^^
