[Art] More sketches! Russian Trotter and Melanistic Jaguar as totems.

[moonvoice]

Horses are still a challenge, but a wonderful, patient client, and some great reference photos have helped with this one - a gorgeous breed of horse, the Russian trotter.
In addition, I am revisiting melanistic jaguar. This wonderful lady will have very visible rosettes and markings, instead of a solid black coat, and I'm looking forward to the inking / colouring process on both of these.
Although it does put the number of projects I'm *actively* working on at the moment up to eight! Hee.

Both of these are beautiful - the leopard's rosettes are really eye-catching - but I particularly love the little beard-y lines on the horse. Nose whiskers!

Nose whiskers! They were too distinct to leave out. :D

[ariestess]

Ooooers... They're both pretty!

[moonvoice]

Thankees!

[fadedwings]

Both are so lovely but I'm really loving the Jaguar...gorgeous!

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :D

These are both *super*, but I am absolutely mesmerized by the jaguar's gaze. It's not entirely a comfortable thing! ;D

No-o-o... She's a predator, and she knows it, and our hindbrains know it.

Ooooooohhhh.... the melanistic jaguar is so perfect. I'm so happy she commissioned it; I can't wait to see the final product when it's done!
