More gorgeous big kittehs!

[moonvoice]

And not the last either! There's one more melanistic jaguar coming, and then that tentatively may be it for now. :)

Sweet!

I... I think I might need a print of melanistic jaguar in my home. While I know this was a commission for someone else's spiritual connection, you've precisely depicted, down to the purple-silver energy, how Bast/Black Cat Woman has always appeared to me over the years. Which of the options available on deviant art do you feel best mirrors your original work in print format?

[moonvoice]

I've only ever gotten the photo prints (due to cost) myself, and I've been happy with the way that they've come out. So it just depends on what you prefer. I've heard great things about the art prints, but they cost significantly more. Unfortunately none of the prints show the iridescence / metallic paint as accurately as the original.

Oh wow... lovely!
I esp love your Melanistic Jaguar... what does Melanistic mean?

Black-furred! Panthers are technically melanistic jaguars or leopards. There are albino variations of cats too.

Oh cool, thanks for letting me know :-D!

The purples are so perfect for the melanistic jaguar. They really match well with the black, nicely done!

Thank you! The purple was the client's request, though I was already leaning in that direction, it was a great call since it blended well with the energy of this jaguar too. :D

Love them both. I especially like the choice of colors on the jaguar.

Thank you very much. :)
