#oparla

I'm working on these kitty designs again and getting closer to finalising them!

I really like Little Brother's design at the bottom, but I might port it to another cat as it doesn't look much like his mothers. More likely I alter Tairis' design to closer match his though as I'm less attached to hers.

For reasons known only to my hand they go in opposite order in size. Auryn at the top should be the largest, and Little Brother at the bottom, being a cub, is the smallest.

Character concepts from a while ago! I’ve picked up this project again and still playing around with her design.

Playing with watercolours and colour pallets. You can see this stuff early on my patreon!

I was only going to post these on my patreon, but I’ve run out of buffer so here are some concepts for my next mini comic. It will feature my snow leopard/golden cat kitties, the oparla. They live in high alpine/sub alpine forests and sleep in communal groups to help keep warm at night and I always imagine their habitat as some kind of weird impossible mix of cloud forest and snow covered mountains, which makes it hard to know what plants to draw. At the moment I'm looking at temperate rainforests for inspiration, but windswept coniferous trees like this are a definite and probably make good meeting places.
