SciFi and Fantasy Art Storm Cats! by Crystal Gail Meere

This is a picture of my character Kochira Koso riding a friend's character, who is a cougar that shapeshifts. Giant cougar, mind you. I really like this picture, even if the cougar isn't very good at all. He's got more of a horse body and not very good feet, but this is another one like the Cute picture of Kochira, it's the actual subject that makes it such a cool picture... for this, the background.. which just took me FOREVER to do. Hope you like it, I sure do. Wish I could collar it in, the different between tree and sky isn't near so strong as it should be.

25 Jan 2002	Timmie	Loading... Love your kitty rider! I like the way you have her holding the shoulder fur. That seems the most logivcally way to ride a cat. I never thought that anyone could ride a feline or canine in an up right riding position. It seems you would have to lean forward to keep your balance and hold the side of the shoulders, gripping the fur like you show. Nicely done!
10 Feb 2002	The Stormwalker.	Loading... It's a rockin' picture, babe. You got the size right, even if it does look a little horse-ey. The action is there, and the background is awesome.
2 Dec 2002	Heather R. Davis	Loading... Interesting concept! This is always something I've wanted to do when I was younger, but somehow never got the opportunity. (Hmm..) I like the hair on the rider. I can also tell that you've put a lot of work into the leaves of the trees in the background, which not everyone may notice, but it's quite detailed when you look close. The only thing about it is that the cat, is that it's running a bit strangely. If it's going at the pace I think it is (based on the rider's hair), It's going to trip soon. (It actually almost looks like it's skipping!) My best suggestion is to try looking at a picture of a running lion or tiger, and notice the way in which the legs bend. Other than that, it is a very nice picture!
4 May 2003	Random	Loading... Cats don't run likes horses hun.
9 May 2005	Lithium Cloud Walker	Loading... This picture is really exciting to me. You can really imagine Kochira Koso riding the large tiger-cat barebacked, racing against the storm and time to save the lives of the innocent frog king and his people. Lightening crashing all around… the wind blowing through Kochira’s hair. How will she defeat the evil “Duke of Rat” and his evil band of “Mere-Cat Possums?” Before it is too late. You should write a whole story to go with this pictures. I really love the detail on Kochira's paws. This one is my favorite picture.
