Big Cat (Wip)

Description

Made using J-Mac, an oil-based clay. I'm using reference from a couple of different felines but focusing on the leopard. The gesture is supposed to portray tension and power.

This is a very striking piece. You have done a great job portraying power through your piece by positioning your cougar with a wide-set stance and by stretching the body. The back legs, having one position in a half crouch, also brings in an element of danger, as if the cat is about to make a move. You have done a great job so far laying out the musculature and for the most part your proportions are very close. My only suggestion would be to correct the lower jaw. The jaw appears to hing too far forward on the skull, and thus the lower jaw is projected too far forward. If this were my piece I would elongate the cranium (which might solve your projecting hing problem) and either shorten the lower jaw or make the snout a little longer. Other than those minor tweeks I would like to say that this is a very nice piece. And oooh lala the curves in the tail are delicious!!
