"Concept Sketch: A Feline Woman"

I love cats and I love their larger cousins. This concept was a design experiment on what a cross between feline and human would be. Looking back at this now, I would add more feline structure to her face, but without making it cartoony. I would also give her more solid fur on the underside area and less stripes. I think I had used a mix of Bobcat and Leopard for the influence of the striping. The clothing (or lack thereof) would be pelts of different prey.
