Final thumbnails

This is my fave composition thus far, just can't make my mind up over which cat to use!

Sketch and initial colour/light pass

Despite pretty much the entire of public opinion being to go for the right, I followed my gut instinct, after speaking to a friend who offered some great artistic insight into the composition of each, and why the left one felt a little less 'safe' than the one on the right. Bit of a gamble, but I'm hoping that this initial pass will convince others that I'm hopefully going in the right direction. Here the snow leopard feels like the focus of the image, undeniably the stronger of the two animals, which is exactly the sense I wanted. Plus the pose of this version actually makes more sense as being that moment just before the pounce, which I'm hoping adds to the tension.

facial closeup!

Just a quick closeup of the face as it stands... looking at this at about 60% of full size.
