Feral Kitty WIP

Ok, so still a work in progress, but I figure "what the heck" I'll post what I got. Background obviously needs work. I'm not 'inking' in the shadows so much on this one, and leaving the coloring to handle most of the light effects.

One cool thing to note, and I'm not sure on this but, this may be the first time we see Feral Kitty with her new I11 claws. Thanks to the screenshot provided by Katfood.

I'm thinking I may crop in a bit on the final version, I'm not sure she's...got enough attention on her.

Anyhow, here's the link:
Feral Ink (WIP)

Feedback is welcome.

Oh, and I almost forgot, after a lot of thinking I've decided to go ahead and drop "8Baller" as my art signature

Hey I love ol' 8, but thinking a little more long term, it just seemed to make the most sense. That should explain the little "TC" in the corner.

Ahhhhh 8, you will be missed

Everything is well proportioned, "stretch" effects placed in a fashion that isn't baggy but trying to be leather, and an inking with a real clean syalized look that I haven't seen in a while
Loving it, Tod!

sorry about that. It's late and my grammr depleates deeply with time, thank god for firefox spell check or I would be gibberish(oky maybe that's a problem for another time)

what I was trying to say is that the stress in the suit works right, I see a lot of people making "tight" suits but reeeeaaly over exadgerate the folds, and it looks like a tight fitting but baggy textured leather(not sure if that makes sense) which is rather ugly imo

Ahhh, ok. Gotcha (I think)

I agree, it's late.

Thanks again,
Todd

Awesome inking! Very "active" pose!

Oooh, wow! Great work! I also like the work on the leather. The hands and the facial expression are excellent also.

very very cool, man.

Looking good . I do see one proportion quirk - for the farther leg to have the knee so close in and a comparitively short thigh, it has to be pointed forward rather than out to produce foreshortening - all good there, but that means the foot under it should also be pointed more towards her forward direction rather than the sharply out direction it's pointing now. Not a big deal but you might want to look twice at it and see if it catches your eye.

Thanks all for the great feedback, I'll post the final color version when I can get it done.

Thanks,

Gorgeous work Todd! I can't wait to see the colored version.

Me either, can't wait to see the color, looks great so far!

Looks great! The right leg is a little wonky, though. Not in the right proportion.
