Circle of life

This truly is an extremely astounding piece! I am in love with it myself!

The colors for the background, grass, and animals really contrast well with each other, and I really love how you added hidden hues of blues and greens.

Now I know I'm not really in a good place to critique because my art style is far from realism, but I hope you'll hear me out anyway <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

I found that the muzzle of the cheetah is a little longer than it should be, and the paws and hooves at the bottom of the page seem to meld into the background. Maybe this is what you were going for though, and if you intended to do that then you may disregard my criticism. The head angle is a little off, and one thing that gets me is the lack of teeth on the cheetah. Maybe the teeth are simply buried under the flesh of the antelope, but the jaw doesn't look fastened on there good enough for there not to be any show of fangs. Just a small detail I thought I might point out <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

A few things that I do really appreciate- the body position of the gazelle (I think it's a gazelle, if it's another animal, sorry XD) is quite good with fluid motion. The cheetah looks stiff and still like it's simply standing their though, it just looks like there could be more motion to it is all. I really love the colors you used, the expressions in the faces of both animals, and the paw on the back of the gazelle is very pronounced and well drawn <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>. Both animals are very well drawn, same with the grass and background.

Who am I to critique such a beautiful piece anyhow? Keep up the good work!
