Re: Birthday Leopard WIP
Snoball Thank you! I thought the crop would make a dramatic piece.

Harry Thank you very much! I am pleased with it so far.

Harold Thanks! I love creating the eyes. I am trying to decide if I want to add a bit of color to them or not.

Terry Thank you! I am not sure if the eyes are 100% done yet. I might get brave enough to add color if I have time.

Well, here's another small update. I am really starting to feel the time slip away from me. I need to have it completed and sprayed before the 30th. I think I will go with my mom to choose the frame, since I want her to feel like it matches her decor. (I am no good at that kind of stuff... lol)

Re: Birthday Leopard WIP
I know this was supposed to be finished by June 30th... but I had a dose of real life. My grooming business picked up, and I felt like I had no time to do art! Better late than never, right?

I hate my scanner. I can't get this to look true to the original. I am calling this finished. (Can a mod please change the title to Finished for me?) I do still see things I would like to fix, but I have already sprayed it to prevent myself from scratching at it until there's nothing left of the board... lol. I am giving this to my mother next week.

Any comments or critiques are appreciated!

I always welcome C & C. Even if I have finished it and applied fixative, I can always apply your thoughts to the next one.
