Description
Join Africa-comic group!Okay, this picture has been roaming the internetz for a while, I drew it a couple weeks ago (as you can see from my signature, still indicating March '13) and uploaded it on Facebook first, but I liked it and thought I'd upload it here, too
When I submitted the test page for Africa I received loads of useful pieces of advice, one in particular, which many of you suggested, was to make Africa and Chui more different, because they looked too much alike.
Well, I've been working on that ever since. Can you tell Africa and Chui apart in this picture?
Please be frank, I don't get offended if you say you don't! XD It's very important for me that readers manage to distinguish characters, especially if the two main characters are so similar.
I also added a like of rounded spots on Africa's pelt, since I received the suggestion to vary her spot pattern a bit. How do you like it? ^_^
Once again, thank you SO much for your constant support and critique! It helps me a lot
And once again... again XD
Africa and Chui are LEOPARDS. Not Cheetahs. Not Jaguars.
I know that cheetahs aren't this bulky. Because these two AREN'T cheetahs! XD

Well, I can see Chui has Curved cheek-fur, A bit like A Lynx. And he has a darker stripe down his back. He's also Bulkier and Also, Chui looks evil. His tail and paws have sharp edges to them. Β Africa on the other Hand, Is More slender, and Has Green eyes instead of Amber. Her fur is smoother with less sharp edges to it. So yes, i can tell them apart.Β

he is overall bigger and bulkier, maybe a bigger tail would fit him betterΒ

ARVEN92 In reply to blackcat846 [2013-10-20 21:23:35 +0000 UTC]
That's correct You can also recognize a jaguar by the shape of its head, they have a peculiar "bump" at the base of the nape, bulging facial muscles and a big, round muzzle, while leopards are overall more square
Sadly, many people don't know this, and it's especially hard to tell from a drawing ;;
I love cats too! They are fantastic creatures <3
Thank you^^

I can tell them apart easily, Chui's ears, jaw, and tail are more based on angles while Africa has a much smoother, rounded anatomy form. Great work, by the way.

They look different enough for me. Chui is angular; Africa isn't.
Very nice picture, btw.

Super ! On les distingue très bien
Je pense que tu pourrais peut-Γͺtre rΓ©duire un peu la taille de leurs yeux, qui prennent un peu trop de place sur leur visage, je trouve x)

I really like the darker spot on Chui, and the end of his tail. They now have very nice variations!

Really amazing job I love the details which you have done and I think the round spots is a nice touch. Another wonderful job with these two. And for me, I can see them apart

You certainly made them look quite different. Like Africa is definately feminine looking and Chui is more masculine, and I like how you made their eyes a different colour. Can you do that with leopards in the wild? That's a good angle to draw them from- I couldn't do it. I wish you luck in your new comic.

Aww thank you so much! I'm happy you can tell them apart easily
And yes that's right, leopards' eyes range from amber to orange to green
