This is a collaboration between myself and melo666 whom did the beautiful sketch I had the honor of coloring. Her original sketch can be seen at: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2201410/ . The piece has been in the works for a good while and eaten up a lot of my free hours, but in a good way of course!
This is yet another piece for the Pinup Portfolio organized by Sehkmet and Synnabar and will also be featured as the cover art. Please take a moment to check out the website and browse all the other great submissions that will make up this beautiful volume. The portfolio is scheduled to make it's debut at Anthrocon, after which it will be available for sale online as well!

Really really nice piece! Love the lighting....just...yeah :3!
I agree to that. The Lighting is most certainly the best part in this piece.
The light effect is perfect. A lovely piece.
Why are all the archers feline?
Why are all the archers feline?
Something to do with the dexterousness (excuse my spelling) of cats? In most games, Dexterity determines how good you are with a bow. That might be it...I'm speculating, but now someone is going to make a dog an archer just because you said that.
About art, ABOSLUTELY LOVELY!!!!! I love the use of lighting. It reminds me of Thomas Kincade. (sorry if I butchered his name)

Great work as always :D

This is stunning o.o * fav's instantly*
I knew it would look awesome in the sketch, but this has taken words away xD

thats why i hoped balaa would color it. She just kicks serious buttocks at rendering.
It's so great to finally see the finished version of this one (i'm watching sekhmet too)
You did such an awesome job.. She looks like a furry version of the goddess Artemis

I was kind of inspired by artemis to do her , yes. XD . Funny how that rubbed off without intentionally making her a goddess.
lol.. go me
Apparently her godliness translated very well
To me she looks both wise and confident, and so comfortable in her skin.. she is at home there, in her hunting gear.. so yeah, goddess

Well, it's a compliment from the dog. Personally I'm not so pleased when he finds a deer carcase and gets that ecstatic look as he gets ready to drop his shoulder into it. :)
LOL..
But it's so much fun, and it smells so good to your dog.. He just wants to keep that wonderful interesting smell

Yes, and I love him to bits and I'd gladly let him indulge himself if only I didn't want to (a) cuddle him, and (b) keep him in the house.
This is him, by the way (I'm so proud :) --

This was fun :) , I hope the collab was a good experience for you! I know you worked super hard, so thanks a lot for your patience with this!
8} Id love to do it again with you one day!
I really like how you lighted the piece, and how the light leads the eye to our focal point. She glows like a goddess! You really did a marvelous job :)

It makes me very happy to see you posting, even if you only contributed to the image.
The background and textures are splendid, the mountains in the back probably being my favorite part.
Really helps with the personality of the original sketch, it's lovely. 8>

Beautiful. Love the texture on the rocks, and the wonderful lighting effect on her body.
Wow, amazing work you two. Lynx are gorgeous cats, and the background! Just wow.
Holy macaroni!
This portfolio is going to contain some knockout talent, thanks in no small part to yourself.
I've gotta get me one of those. =3

The lighting in this piece is amaaaazing... it creates such a great atmosphere. I love how you captured even the tiny motes of dust in the light beams. You two did a fantastic job on this @.@ :attempts to stop drooling and remove jaw from the floor:
I was about to say the same thing Kacey! The Rocks, Fur and snow and the back lighting of the feline are very well done. I took a close look and I saw the speckles of dust from the back lit background and I thought that was impressive as well :)
My god you do beautiful work, these past two pics have been two of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen you do!
Wow, gorgeous piece of work! The lighting really makes everything looks so much more amazing.
This is absolutely stunning... great job, both of you! Loveee the lighting and the texturing.
Great Scott! How do you do mountains like that? So casual, a few swathes of blues and greys... how do you see like that?
Wonderful artwork :3 as usual :3 Kepp up the good work:3
wow that is brillant.the colouring and the detail is amazing. Excellent work
Thats incredible. The fur texture, the ground, the lighting. So much detail, so much awesome.
Wow! What a gorgeous picture! The level of detail in your work is always just incredible! Well, that and I happen to like kitties lots!
Holy crap! O_O
The lighting and details here are amazing. :D
Very nicely done!

Just looking at what so many great srtists have said above me, I don't feel I can give an accurate description of juat how incredible this piece is. All I can do is congratulate both of you from the highest plateau and add this to my list of favorites.
Incredible work, and just...damn.

More stunning work, so amazingly detailed! This sort of detail blows me away, the background is just lovely and the fur is perfect. She's so pretty!
I love this for two reasons.
1. It's a lynx :3 (Yes I'm biased haha)
2. It's some of the highest quality and most gorgeous furry artwork that I have run across. Drool worthy for the artistic quality alone.
Ty for drawing this. I can't state enough how impressed I am.

very, very nice lighting and fur texturing on this, the amount of detail amazes me. I love how it has a truely organic feel to it too, almost photo realistic. fave and watch
I actually like the rocks best in this photo. What layers are used here?
I have nooo recollection of the layer settings xD. I think one of the rock layers was set to overlay and one to multiply.
Just unbelievable. Every single element is so incredibly detailed, right down to the moss/grass on the rocks. Stunning work... you should be proud of it. *purr* :X)
Holy hell. This is beautiful! I wish I could get some awesome clothes like that.
Wow, I'm seriously out of words, this piece blows me away.

You two guys rock - erm - girls. Artists! Yes, artists, both of you, Sekhmet for sketching and you for colouring, though viceversa you'd still rock the same.
Wonderful lighting and I must say the rocks in the front look as realistic as a photo. How I'd love to take a glimpse over your shoulders while working. Both of you. *sigh in admiration*

wow....give me a second to rub my eyes of the awesome so i can see again.
okay, now that that's done. The detail in this piece is absolutely amazing. I'm afraid to ask what resolution you started in even XD the lighting, the dust IN the lighting. the pose, the fur. HOLY CRAP! i mean this is wonderful! you two did an excellent job from sketch to final product. And now that you've told me this collection will eventually be available online...heh, looks like i have a new goal of stuff to buy ^^;

Holy gosh this is beautiful. ;w; The lighting is superb and adds so much to the details of the fur and character that this gorgeous, sexy lynx has. Such an inspiration. <33
oh she is WELL worth watching..though that may spell trouble for your accounts ;P. But really, personally, Id much rather spend money on art and support artists than many other things most folks spend their money on. Good to see you lurking! I still need to make you a thank you badge for snagging up Simbelmyne at Califur last year C:. (Do you have a character reference by any chance?)
No, no real reference, just generalized char descriptions... some general guidelines, like, (mostly?) melanistic (black spots on black fur [not blue!]), green eyes, digitigrade, fur on head not hair, etc.
This is the last commission I got (Califur V badge) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....FORMATTED2.jpg not sure about the brown eyebrows, but I didn't really notice that until after the con. :P
Other commission years ago was from XianJaguar: http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/.....ar/BluStar.jpg
No other commissions really, a few badges but I don't have scans of them. I have several commission items from that Auction of Love thing I should really try to cash in on though - considering I have no money these days for art. I just never seem to get around to it. >_>

This is quite amazing. The details are exquisite and the lighting is just awe-inspiring. Every time I look at it I find something new.
I am curious about her feet. I so very (very) rarely see footwear on furry characters that look anything remotely like something that was actually designed by someone with paws. Though I'm not seeing anything that actually looks like protective surfaces on the undersides, just support straps. Either way it's one of those kinds of thoughtful details I can appreciate. And no, I am not a foot fetishist -- it's just one of those things that breaks the illusion for me in many pics.

Oh, I really like this piece of work. The lighting is pefect and so is the shadowing. Very nice job.
Oh! OH!! Wanna...Hug the fluff!! My she's the hottest peice of tail I've seen today ^^
Looks so nice.. and idd like I saw above.. I love the rock's and the green..
fav ^^
Whats so funny is that the snow only makes the rock look much more 3d.., it gives ya more a idea how much place there is you could stand on

Did you use watercolours and coloured pencil for this by any chance?
It's absolutely stunning!

Wow, take that back, on closer inspection, i's digital ^^;
STILL stunning!

Very nice pic but the title reminds me of a culture Club song I like quite a bit.
I agree with many others, that light/highlight is brilliant... Lynx girl is sweet too :)
An incredible piece of art, really quite magnificent.
However the head of brown hair seems incongruous to the rest of the piece; I think it's the realism that makes it seem strange.

Again a pretty nice picture of a lynx. It is also has a slight erotic attraction. The sketch and the coloring are perfect and both of you can be really proud of the outcome of the collab. The mountainscape in the far background and the vast landscape in between are just totally brilliant and I would love to visit that place myself. The design of the character and her accessoires are damn great too. I like these gauntlets at her paws and the clothes at all. ^^
Lovely pose. This looks like a photo from America's next top model!! :)
