Description
A gift art for a friend. Actually, I drew this 2 years ago, then abandoned it due to private reasons and then picked it up a few days ago again and decided to rework and finish it.It shows the Snow Leopard-Neko Taihaku in her natural environment. :3
Due to the way this was produced I would have to say done in 2 1/2 years, but its not true working time XD I have no idea how long this took exactly as I almost completed it and reused some of the old lineart by simply tracing it as it was already good as it was (but I had to redraw it due to a much higher resolution I was working with this time), but the colouring was around 9 hours.Ā Soo I would say it would have taken around 18 hours under normal circumstances. :3
Enjoy!

Do you want to know? It might ruin your mental image of her.

Leena would love to know! Please tell her. :3

I would, but It's been so long since I wrote that that I forget what I was gonna' say...

Now,now. Don't tease the giant neko. You promised to satisfy her curiosity... If you can't? *Hooks your shirt with her claw* There are other ways you can satisfy.

^_^ I'd be delighted to make it up to you. *is lifted up off the ground* What did you have in mind?

About what? She'll have to tell us i guess :3
thanks for the kind words though! ^_^

Despite being more catty than most catgirls, she is less noticbly so.
Maybe it's just the clothes.

I did create her race to have more resemblance to their feline counterparts. It doesn't show in this picture, but the fur on her hands reaches all the way up her forearms, and there's also a good amount of it on her forelegs as well.

I guess you'd want that in frigid temperatures.

Indeed. And as you might notice in the picture, she also has a nice thick claw on one of her fingers. That goes for every finger of every snow leopard neko, and in addition, they're retractable, which helps with hunting, self defense, and traversing the ice.

Yeah, she's got Felicia paws.

Is that what Felicia has? I don't know, I never played Darkstalkers.

It's possible. It could also be that there are just only so many ways to do a catgirl design.
š: 0 ā©: 1
XD That's true, too. Like, I tried to make them unique in some ways, but here you are already finding parallels to other catgirls.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Well, if the design is unique to you, it still counts for something. There isn't much to work with but a gradient or checklist of parts to make more feline.

Thanks. That makes me feel better about it. And hey, it's not like their physical traits are the only things that can set them apart. There's also social traits, too. You can read about those in my gallery, I think the article for snow leopard nekos is in there somewhere. If you're interested, that is.

Yeah, she looks like she's got a whole motif. And she actually has clothes.
š: 0 ā©: 1
A few of my other characters have clothes, too. Not to brag or nothin'. XD
š: 0 ā©: 1
But are they of species very seldom seen in more than a tank top and short shorts?
š: 0 ā©: 1
Let's see...Nekomurans? Check. Rosic Neko? Check. Young human girl? Check. Dridder? Check, but I don't have a bio for her yet.Ā

Well, then good for you for clothing your OCs. It's a bold step off the beaten path.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Thanks. But I should level with you, I think they're probably still the minority. XD I have a naked mermaid, a naked sea krait naga, a naked small naga, um....a half-naked porcupine demi-human (and a more well-clothed one I forgot to mention before), a naked fairy, a naked sand mermaid, a darkness elemental that tends to switch between clothed and naked at a whim, and probably several others I'm forgetting to mention.

Welp. At least you've got the bases covered.
Meanwhile here I am, a T-shirt and slacks even on an artificial humanoid who has every excuse to be naked in that test tube. The scientists are weird like that.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Hah! XD Sure, blame the in-universe sapient beings who don't really have any control over their actions.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Well, the actions have to fit the character design. Good characters write their own behaviour.
š: 0 ā©: 1
All too true, but that doesn't sound like the case with your weird scientists. XD I'll need to hear their reason for putting clothes on test tube people, not just you blaming them.
š: 0 ā©: 1
They don't care much for nudity. They're a very timid breed, and naked bodies tend to be more disturbing than clothed ones when you're exposed to certain chemical fumes, besides that.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Alright, that's reasonable.
...I don't really know what else to say.
š: 0 ā©: 1
To be fair, the shirt's also an experimental substance they might as well test on a nigh-invulnerable guy.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Cool. Good for them...?
š: 0 ā©: 1
Er...you don't have to reply if you're out of things to say, you know.
š: 0 ā©: 1
I just feel like that would be a really awkward end to the conversation.
š: 0 ā©: 1
I don't really know what to say to that.

Shes a snow leopard girl, not a catgirl.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Leopards are felines, though.
š: 0 ā©: 1
a cat is not a leopard.Ā
š: 0 ā©: 1
But a leopard is a cat. If you prefer, though, the statement could just compare her to catgirls without calling her one.

Good job on this. The outfit suits her well and the little details here and there add quite a bit to the general feel it. it's a nice portrait.
š: 0 ā©: 2
Glad you like her design. Amaroq added things like the gun, necklace, and boot dagger, but the rest was detailed to my mental image. He did all the hard work, though. ^_^
š: 0 ā©: 0
OHHHHHHHHH so THIS is how she's supposed to look. Thanks for drawing this, because my mental image was way off xD
She looks a little bit like Esdeath actually.
š: 0 ā©: 2
I'm interested to hear what your mental image was like. ^_^
š: 0 ā©: 0
Uhm... I kinda... disagree. ^^' Taihaku looks like Taihaku.
