ALT TITLE: Frosted Fun Times

A snowy return of Felicia, the Russian blue tigress! Here she stands along a balcony during a snowy night in a lacy new outfit.  Despite a full coat of fur, perhaps she'd like some additional warmth? The snowflakes are hand-drawn and it was extremely monotonous. The image is sized in such a way that it could fit on 11x17 or 22x34 posters later on.

Most of this work was Livestreamed. You should be watching em!

I really love her outfit (and was one of the primary reasons I focused my time on completing this first) so this might as well be regarded as her "canon" outfit when it comes to nightwear. It inherits attributes from outfits she has previously worn. Her hips seem wider and her thighs thicker compared to previous pictures of her; I need to make ref sheets to make my characters more standardized. However, given the gap of time between pictures, it could be assumed she's aged a couple of years since her previous completed pic (which was fittingly 2 years ago) so that could help explain it.

PSP7/SAI, 11 HOURS (a labor of love), Felicia is [c] to me

This is a very charming piece! It is well done overall, and it is both sensual and comical. This is made possible by the well-done facial and bodily expressions and the use of different perspectives. I particularly adore panel 6 and the panels that lead up to that climax, where both the expression and position of the lil' guy perfectly denote that he is now at an inescapable fate. I find this to be both macabre and pleasing. Also, panel 10 effectively shares with me, the reader, that feeling of claustrophobia. The flow continues very smoothly right through till the end, where I find myself very satisfied at having read this. :D
I find it difficult to point out places that this could improve. One thing that comes to mind after intense thought is that the end panels feel like some of the scale and dimensions are overly distorted a bit in favor of enlarging the little furry, and that maybe he is larger here than in other panels. However, this I understand may have been done for comedic effect. This gripe is really the only thing I can think of, and even then only for the sake of trying to find something sub-par about this piece at all.
I would give it less than five in originality only because a lot of this has been done before, however I can't resist giving it five because the dramatic opening panel and the satisfied jowls going "AH!" at panel 11 are both really unique here. It opens on both a literal and figurative cliffhanger, which drives the rest of this story well. And seeing the jowls sighing without any eyes or other bodily expression... that is just refreshing to me, especially as it is set directly after the dark throat panel, which perfectly contrasts it with the perfect timing.
This whole comic is superb, well polished with a variety of dynamic and dark perspectives. I totally love it. Keep making these, you are doing something you are obviously very skilled at.
