The scimitars are patrolling.

------

So, here's my first take on pleistocene mammals - I actually really love recently extinct megafauna, although I don't usually draw them. Pictured is Homotherium serum, which is my favourite amongst the extinct felines for whatever reason, as well as some mammoths in the background and a conspicuous trail of smoke coming from somewhere behind the mountains.

I know I mentioned "mammal-on-mammal action" in my latest journal; that's because I intented to have some dead animal in front of the cat, like a deer or baby mammoth or whatever, but ultimately preferred this "crouch and hide 'cuz they are coming" theme.

I also made an experiment eliminating the top black frame, I think it looks nice.

Feedback is highly appreciated! :)

I'd say the end of the muzzle (vibrissae area) should be bigger, more rounded and puff. Like clouded leopard here [link]
And I think the eyes are bit too small.

Yes, the frame thing really does kill it sometimes :) and this looks lovely. A cute scimitar cat, actually

It's the blur! Mammoths are blurry, trees and smoke are not, that's what was distracting my eyes from believing the depth of the landscape! ;)
And now I will shut up! Love your work! ;)

I love how that cat is just deciding what to do next with the observer!
May I say that I find the trees in the background a little bit too prominent, composition-wise? There is a lot going on right in the centre of the image, it lumps together a little.
Anyway, great image! Megafauna rocks!

The landscape reminds me of Skyrim.
