I have no idea what to title this.
Anyways, after shaod's (FA) and a few other friend's opinions, a common thread is that I should do a style sheet kind of thing for commissions. But I don't know that I really have a collection of imagery that I want to assemble into one right now -- there's the commissions I did for lauralien, but I don't want the sheet to be -just- that.
Then I decided, maybe I could re-do a few images from a while back, bring them up to par, use them! And then maybe one or two additional images. So the first one here is that cat detective-like guy that people on various sites seemed to like. I decided to re-paint him, give him a full body, make him a little less bulky, and so on. Even added the little cigarette a friend thought he needed so long ago. This is what I wound up with.
I started calling him "Roy" in my head while I was painting him, since I thought he needed a name. Critiques are welcome. Enjoy~

Yeah, hah, he doesn't read so much as a detective. At this point, I think of him more as some sort of ruffian. I kept "detective" in the description because the original black/white pencil sketch had that thought in it, but it's not super relevant anymore, perhaps.

Call him Detective Dickbutt.

Really wonderful! My only critique, or... Suggestion rather, would be to change the title from Athletic to something closer to the description that you've made for Roy. :3

Ahhh, I've been thinking about this since I uploaded it. You are right, it needs a better name. But all I can think to do is name it "Roy" for now. But that seems uninteresting. But maybe that's all it needs.

Oops. It seems I was a bit late with my comment, as others have already suggested. XD Though, how about naming him Private Eye Roy? Not entirely a detective per se. A little more rough and noire-like. :D

I really like the lighting and shading...that hint of yellow on the fur is very appealing for the lighting effects!
-
Hey, thanks! I was given the comment that I should try and look more for subtle color in white tigers, and a lot of the pictures I found had some soft yellow or blue in them. So I tried adding it -- I'm not sure if what I got was exactly what was critiqued, but I do enjoy the look. It's at least got a bit of life to it.

You're most welcome! It looks better than simply using a gray or off-gray for the small details like that on white fur!

I like the way he looks, he reminds me characters from 1960s movies.
-
(Oops, I almost missed this!) Thanks! That was the general idea, so I'm glad it comes through! I'm still not exactly sure he looks like how I want him to, but hey, at least it was good practice.
