Hello, so I'm working on a line of custom decors called "Foreigner's Furs" which will have various different pelt-made apparel pieces. This first one will be a lynx(Once I finish the other ages/manes) I was wondering what people thought of is, and what/if they would pay for a copy?

Also, another interesting -but like, impossible- idea would be having each item of fur covering a different part of the body
So, if you get the whole set, your lion is almost completely covered in fur!
-Not suggested though.. That would be difficult.-
Looking forward to the cuffs!<3

I like the crookedness of the lynx's nose, it highlights the fact that the pelt is separate from the lioness's face.
The art is wonderful, and I would pay around 7 GB for one. I would like to see a cheetah (king cheetah!), Ethiopian wolf, and spotted hyena as other animals.
A bit of criticism:
- It looks like the lioness's ear is clipping through the ear of the lynx hood.
- It's difficult to tell what the strands on the chest are supposed to be. The lines are very thin.
- I can't really pinpoint why, but the bit of stitching in front of the ear looks strange to me. Perhaps you could try removing it.

Maple- Actually I had considered that, and have not completely ruled it out. :D

Silver- Hehe, I'm glad<33

Shetani-
Yes, I was having trouble with the stitching, I erased it several times before settling reluctantly. The problem I have with just removing it is that it wouldn't make sense then- The stitching holds up the entire bottom of the face, that heavy fur wouldn't stay up without it. I'll play around with it some more, but I'm not sure I'll be able to fix it.

The chest was another thing I was playing with quite a bit, I didn't want to put full-blown chains because of mutation girls, so I'm not quite sure how to deal with that either!

As for the lioness' ear it actually is going through the Lynx's, if that's what you were saying, the lynx ear is resting atop the lioness's, wrapping around it.

Thank you!

This is really really awesome. For me personally, I feel that the eye area looks a bit strange when it's actually on the lioness herself, but when it's just the decor itself on a white background, I can see what's going on with it. I think what makes it look a bit strange is that the lines aren't dark enough there, so it's a bit hard to distinguish the eyehole from the lioness's face. I also feel that maybe the straps holding it around her neck are not quite apparent enough. Still, this is super great! The way you've detailed it really makes it look like an official decor.

I'd pay 6-7 GB easy.

Thank you Thalath- Perhaps I should add shadows around the eye to help distinguish it better. I thought it might be difficult to really see the whole eye situation, beings it's not exactly how you would expect it, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix! I'll see what I can do about the chains, too, they aren't really an important part, so I honestly don't mind if no one really notices them, but if I just get rid of them it would feel off-balanced to me. If I can bring them out more without calling too much attention to them and messing with mutty linearts I'll do it.

Ohh yes I think this is absolutely amazing! I personally don't really buy custom decors but I would definitely buy this! As for how much I'd want to pay for it, like 3GB but hell, don't listen to me because I hate spending! Definitely worth around 7GB!

*grabby hands* yessss
I'd pay my soul for this. If I had one.

It's the thought that counts?

The whole thing looks gorgeous and really nicely executed. The fur texture and colors are really well-matched, and the whole thing looks really organic.

That said, the area around the eye, ear and cheek looks like it's not distinct from the lioness under it and, with certain pelt colors will be really confusing to look at. However, it's a really simple fix of getting in some more shading on the lioness from the pelt c: Mainly around the eye/ear/cheek, but a hint of it around the shoulders and muzzle would add some nice depth.

This is more of a preference thing, but I'd also add a bit of the pelt showing from the lionesses left/the far away shoulder. With the pose the lionesses take, the left shoulder is slightly twisted towards the viewer. Your décor partially conceals the fact, making it look like the lionesses have a super buff chest, when lions, as a species, don't have chests to begin with c: With the far off shoulder being visible, it should be a fairly simple edit of adding a small bit of hide on the other side, I believe, but totally your call if you want to edit that ^^

As a general idea, testing that these décors work with mane mutations may be a good idea, since a lot of people that own them try to deck 'em out in fancy décor ouo

Mau-
I intend to add shading around the eye and cheek, however I do like the effect of the pelt melding into the other fur. I also just realized the whiskers are covered! I'll certainly fix that as well.

As for the pelt showing on the far shoulder I had wanted to incorperate that, however I knew it wouldn't work out with mane mutations, and scrapped the idea, adding the chains which fade into the fur as to not interfere with them(mutations).

Sounds great, Virus! :D And I totally realized that about the far-off shoulder after I posted, but couldn't be arsed to edit out all that typing, haha.

This is coming along very nicely! Not sure if I'd be interested in this particular one, as I have a really big thing for lynx (80% of the time, random doodles end up lynx for me 0-o), but I'm sure others will! c: I love the concept of these, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out <3

I think 6-7 GB is a nice range, as this decor is well made and pleasing to look at! Personally, I wouldn't buy it though, as I usually am not a fan of decors that are a bit obtrusive or would hide the lion's marks, since I'd use it for pretty ones! I also think something looks a bit funny with the lionesses' eyes when its equipped, but that may just be me as I see that you did put some anatomical reference into it. Perhaps you could make one for males that sits on top of the mane somehow if this one is successful? I also think you would do very well with setting up custom decor deals if you haven't already; and I would love to see more decor from you, such as animal friends! I would even consider sketching some ideas and commissioning you for custom decors if I could afford it in the future!

However, please pm me if you create any more decors! I'd absolutely love to see them and would likely buy! I would especially love to see a live lynx decor from you as well, but anything from you would be very nice!
