Very threaten feline and very lovely at the same time. However, if he is caught in the head lights, his pupils should be closed not wide open. Felines have large pupils when they are excited or hunting in little light. In any case, the work is very well executed, as always.

Wow! This is so well digitally created that I thought it was a photograph! I wish I could award this one a six because it's fantastic and certainly deserving! Look at those hypnotic eyes and that glossy black fur! Beautiful face and facial detail, I can see his whiskers! I love how well he stands out from the dark background even though he is dark himself! Very well created and presented! I wish you the best in this contest!

Cleo,
A beautiful & very beautiful digital painting of this melanistic black wild cat it's eyes watching you closely as it crouches down as if trying to slither unseen past you. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful brushwork & digital techniques about which I have no knowledge. Beautiful choice blending & application of your colours.
Susan

This is a stunning piece. I never would've known it was unfinished if I didn't read the notes. It looks great unfinished. Very nice detail especially on the fur and eyes. The black always stands out. Thanks for sharing

A fine looking beast but I am not sure why you would want to post an unfinished work. I like the eyes and the way the black fur is highlighted.

Wow! What a look of the wild cat. He looks a bit fearful and aggressive at the same time. This is an excellent digital rendering! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

I adore black furred animals! You really gave this one a hypnotic stare. The expression is truly captivating. I like how well you created the light on his fur and the shading gives his body great definition.

P O W E R F U L !
This elicits so much emotion the very minute one lays eyes on it! It is sleek, beautiful, and ominous. I didn't realize it was unfinished until I read that. I thought it was left that way to look like he is about to climb through a closer layer or something. I'm glad you entered it! Your skills are amazing and I really enjoy your work!
