RELEASED Hivewire Big Cat Has Begun!

So Laurie, I have to ask... As I have been very curious about this for quite sometime........ Does the lion fur feel like the fur on domestic cats?
Hope you don't mind me asking!

LOL! I have to remember- that pic was from a pretty long time ago. The cub fur was pretty soft but not as fine as a domestic cat, more like a longer haired puppy? The male lion they had there, the body fur is more like say a dog's short hair and the mane was sort of like a big shaggy dog

I'm so glad you guys are making animal models, because there are so few of them out there--aside from dinosaurs, the odd dragon, and Ken's birds, animal models have pretty much been few and far between since the now very dated Millennium Cat/Dog/Big Cat/Horse/Dragon. This cat is looking great; as others have said, the attention to the musculature is gorgeous.
Thanks Zaarin. By the way look for the Baby Luna Expressions Product to hit our store shortly. I think you'll dig them. Will certainly help versatility.
I'm getting some stuff ready for Laurie Prindle today, then I'll get back to our Big Cat work.
Thanks for the information! I had always wondered if they were similar so now I know LOL!! Thanks for satisfying my child-like curiosity !!!LOL!

Great news! You know I can never have too many morphs.
I know in the first post it is Harry morphing into a cat but the 3rd image in looks like a good base for a Dog (kinda looks a bit like a start of a Bull Mastiff )
My wish list has always been a good Big Cat, Domestic Cat, Wolf and Dog (with a morph for each of the main dog shapes including those ankle biters I have a hard time thinking of as dogs) and always more textures for Harry

Quite a bit of different when you know what to look for Pendraia. Leopards and Jaguars are difficult to tell apart in photos if the location is unknown. The jaguar is generally a stouter animal with a proportionately rounder head, fuller cheeks and smaller eyes and ears (Jags can look fat even when they are not). If you study photos of the two animals with these differences in mind, you can learn to identify them relatively easily (the screen shots Chris has looks more Leopard to me as it looks like it has a longer head than what I'd associate with a Jag).
The smallest of the big cats, leopards are native to Africa and Asia. At 90 to 120 pounds, they are significantly smaller than lions and tigers, and occasionally even fall prey to them.
The jaguar is native to South and Central America, and once roamed the southern United States. Jaguars are quite a bit larger than leopards,averaging 200 to 265 pounds.
Confusingly both black leopards and black jaguars are both popularly called black panthers, although they are not a separate species, and black individuals will occur side by side in the same litter with normally colored cubs.

It's nice to see a more accurate big cat in the works.
Are there plans for a HW dragon?
