lol davin, I hate cats.. (for pets that is) I spot these occasionally around here while hunting..(or they are hunting me?) when I take my boat out and hike into the cliffs. They are fascinating and scary. I can't wait to put a scope on one of these babies! ;) edit: I really woudn't shoot one unless I had to :)

lookin real good safar dba. cant wait to see it done :)

ooooo...these are BEAUTIFUL animals, I give them alot of respect. we have them in the mountains of NC. good start on this one DBA.

you're unfinished? weowie!

awesome. i love the.. eyebrows? i guess? makes him/her look really concentrated.

I like the eyes. Hurry and finish it.

ok good-no shooting baby mountain lions-this is very nice, like davinci said you got the predator stare down. That, I dont care what the hell you think cause I can rip you to friggin shreads, look. Hehe this one looks pissed, like when my cat Lance gets put outside for being bad. I love this-keep going

tis great how the whiskers go from dark to light

lol@ davinci... nuthin new to add except, nice job! very purdy, but i wouldnt want to run into it >.<

id like to say that:
1. im very pleased that hardly anyone else capitalizes the word at the beginning of a sentence..and use iffy punctuation. i feel much less like a retard now.
and
2. is it just me or do the ears look cupped upward? thats not how they are right? im asking because i honestly dont know. looks like when you play with your dogs ears ya know and you turn them inside out and laugh while they walk around all funny looking and stuff..ya know? haha? mkay.

lol optical illusion...if you stare at it..they do.. then if you look at the fur..they dont.. cool..

ok i think i figured out how it can be fixed if she wanted to..take the darker line out from the bottom part of each ear where the off white lip/edge meets the bronze colored part and instead just make it a transition from bronze to off white ...not necessarily a gradual one but just rather than that darker line-ish. maybe. but yeah sometimes it doesnt looked cupped.

They are exactly as they are supposed to be... they are able to cock their ears at that angle. It is something they do when they become predatory and aggressive. One of the fascinating things about them. In some photographs I have seen of them, one ear will even be cocked upward and the other outward. (In this one, his left ear is actually cocked up from the back of his head inward more than his right one... his right one is almost in between stages.) Strange, I know, but an accurate depiction.

I considered doing them the other way, but I thought it was more interesting like this... I couldn't decide if it would disturb ppl and take away from the essence of him.. perhaps it has, maybe I'll change it, I don't know. Does it bother anyone else? (It would be extremely easy to change if it is disturbing)

mountain lions are supposed to be disturbing! ;p;

wow...meow! This is neat. So real, I like the wiskers >:3
