Working on one of the final characters for The Laqueus Amulet. I intended to make a Puma, but it's starting to look like a Mountain Lion. Or, maybe even something else. Just so you know, the color you see is NOT the final render color. It will appear more beige. Why? Don't know... reasons... I will post him finished so you can see.

Since I can't make a "poll" for voting, it seems you can't have an image in a poll for some strange, unknown reason. So, what do you all think? Puma, Mountain Lion, or something else.

The painting process is just a reference for me. There are no eyes, whiskers, eyebrows, pubic hair, nipples, veins, or even a belly button. These are all added in post using Photoshop. This is part of my process to make it less like 3D and more like something different. This is why MOST characters are not furry or fuzzy. It's so difficult to get it to look right. And there's no way I'm painting fur on top of hairy human characters. You'd be waiting months between pages! And I am much too impatient.

Let's hear your thoughts. And let's hear from those quiet people in the back. Get some new supporters sharing their opinion. You matter too!

It still looks like a puma to me. I mean, the two species are very closely related genetically, and in the world you've created, who's to say that pumas don't look like that?

From my artistic perspective I’m gonna be honest it says more canine to me than felidae. It’s perhaps the thickness of the head, my first thought went to „pitbull“. But that may also be a stylistic choice of yours. Sorry not judging just giving my honest thoughts

You can call it either and I wouldn’t know the difference.
