Description All together now… “daww…”

Ok, so this might be a little late since Christmas is over but I still wanted to finish it. But since Christmas is the First day of Christmas technically it’s still over the Christmas period! (Let’s just change the second day of Christmas to “two cubs a kissing” and we’ll be alright? …ignoring of course that it’s actually the forth day!)

There’s no real story behind it, just an idea that popped into my head. Both Zi and Blade are of an indeterminate age between 0-1 years, though I think Zi is probably older otherwise Blade I’m sure would be much bigger. Oh an Zi’s spots were an experiment, I’ve wanted to try Zi with spots for a while now, and since her markings seem to disappear with age, a cub form seemed ideal.

I really need to practice more at babies, I tried using Thea as a model for Zi, but her she still didn’t come our right.

DAAAAAWWWW. *clicks tung*

I think you did fine. Zi's spots only add more to the babyness. But i relay do like the spots in general.
The pars are realy nice to look at, and reminds me of the example you showed me the other day.

Thanks, I'll pobably keep them on the young version, then her markings gradually dissapear over her life/death.

Oh what example was that? I don't recall any Zi and Blade pics. xDD

Nawwww
I think they're very cute!! Not sure but I think I preffer Zi without spots, looks more white and pure but you know me.. as the simple, plain, undetailed & boring artist I am
Love blade as puppy And Zi is starting to become one of the favs too! After Blade ofcourse

xD You aren't any of those things Filippa but I agree she's nicer plain. I just wanted to try it because I have this Zi look-a-like plush (well a white lynx, which is close enough for me ) and it has these cool fading spots that I wanted to try on Zi. I might keep them on cub Zi though, (but just on a really young cub version) because it sort of fits with the pattern of young animals. She's actually quite a complicated character though because she now has three forms: small, large and cub. I should try to explian it sometime.
Hehe, Blade is always a favorite, but Zi is a close second for me so I love making nosense pictures where they are together. ^^

"Daww" indeed!

And Zi's paws are adorably big. I love seeing cubs and their paws.

Thanks xD Ah! but now I'm looking at them and realising that Blade's paws look way too small.

Oh, hush. Only Zi gets to look cute and young. Blade can just be awkward. :]
