This was a commission for Riverlyn, a real life friend of mine. She's a clouded leopard/tiger hybrid. Such a pretty character! I worked hard and learned a lot of techniques in order to do my best to do her justice.
I learned how to make a nice hair and fur texture, to use two layers of shading for added depth, how to do some pretty stunning-looking eye shinies (if I do say so myself XD) and other things. I did have a fun game of Where's the Light Source but despite that, I'm quite pleased.
I may take commissions of this nature in the future!
