Description So I decided to upload a non-teaser.
This is my first piece done in Painter X outside of work. OMG, I'm in love! Photoshop can go jog on. Haha. Nah, but seriously, it's such a great program despite its faults.

This jaguar was painted using mostly acrylics and airbrushes. I'm not entirely happy with the crown, but I'm leaving as is. Possible cover for my upcoming art book!

Limited edition Prints available soon!

The Impact and emotions the piece evokes Really stands out, and the colours really make those gorgeous eyes POP. the detail and textures are amazing as well and pull the piece together so fluidly that make this piece such a easy feel on the eyes. personally i would have made the individual hairs on the nose much evident being so close to the POV, but nonetheless it doesnt distract in any way, All in all it is such a wonderfull piece and would not be surprised at all if I were one day browsing DA and found this on the bottom of the page with the other Daily Deviations!

Hey this is very nicely done! I really love the composition and the way the eyes really go right through you e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" /> Your color choices are quite close to realism, and from a distance, I could swear this face was real! I have a few suggestions for you regarding technique. Right now, the piece as a whole seems sort of flat.. not flat as in not dimensional-- but more like texturally flat. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Corel when it comes to the different types of layering and such- But I think what may help this piece pop just a little more is perhaps a multiply layer with some light purples and blues (using an opaque brush) tapping some of the purple will warm up your cooler golds in this piece, and you might be able to get the crown to pop out more with it too. Also, I would suggest maybe finding a simple stock grunge texture- and layering it over top on a multiply layer and reducing the opacity to about 30% or so ALSO you could create your own fur texture with pencil, scan it in, and set it as a multiply layer at 30%--- that would add more dimension within the fur OR, you could continue working hair by hair to develop a fur texture. There are also fur textured brushes out there too e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod" /> But overall, this would make a fine cover! Beautiful, and keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks for my first critique, Kat!
I am just getting used to Painter, but most of those techniques I am familiar with in Photoshop. I think I may go back and work on it some more if I do intend to make it the cover.
Cheers.

haha you're welcome yeah I'm a Corel junkie- I'll take it anyday over photoshop... but when it comes to Vector, I think I'll stick with Adobe Good luck when you decide to tackle it some more I'd love to see it as a cover

: o Β This looks so amazing! I especially like the two toned eyes and the swirl of blue paint near the green eyes! This piece of art is awesome!

That is Amazing, those eyes are phenomenal, just a quick question, did you get inspiration from Magic TG? As Mirri in that is supposed to have different coloured eyes like that, that's not meant offensively btw so please don't take it the wrong way, just a question. Absolutely amazing piece though.

Nah, no offense taken. But no, I'm not familiar with the Magic TG. That's that rpg card game, right?

jboweruk In reply to Ashalind [2010-01-11 14:34:17 +0000 UTC]

Aye, it is, and there was a character from one of the backstories called Mirri, she had different colour eyes, and on the cover of one of the magazines way back when somebody had drawn her as sort of a leopard/Jaguar, which was why I asked. Looks cool anyhow. Thanks for not taking offense, it was just such a huge coincidence I had to ask. Love the pic.
