I had seen her move it and ignored it, I swear... for three seconds. Then she did it again and it was all over with for mew. Poor Dakota did nothing wrong and she took the full wrath of my kitty instincts. - Sierra
This is a continuation from the two of them out picking the flowers together. The first one was the setting of the scene. This one was the effect it had on her. There isn't another piece to this.
This is the first time I have used StrawberryNeko as an artist and had gone through KittyPrints art and saw they had a number from them. I tossed this follow up with the artist not knowing if they would take it as they have a number of prerequisites before taking a project on. It was great to have such a wonderful piece done with these two.
Both Dakota and Sierra are mountain lions, pumas, cougars and the list of names go on. Their markings are different in it was design choice. Dakota is true in her markings to her age. Where as Sierra uses the adult coat of a puma across all ages. Dakota has three different character sheets. Child/Teen/Adult. Each showing the progression of her coat change through her age brakett. I had though about this with Sierra when I first made her but decided I wanted a simple identifying feature of her no matter her age, and... well... I wanted to also avoid the complex character fee when it came to things like animations as I knew I wanted those done of her as well. Sierra is a simple generic design that still can be easily identified at any age and even in a thumbnail.
Grass-stained dresses and lots of yowling ahoy! Poor Dakota, that twitchy tail never stood a chance. But I'm sure she'll understand. She's a kitty, too, and I'd be surprised if she hasn't succumbed to the allure of the twitch at times, herself. Neko did a gorgeous job with this. She's been a favorite artist of mine for years now, and it's neat to see both of these girls in her style. The background looks amazing, too! And I very much approve of Dakota's rabbit hair clip!
As for the question of markings, I don't think most folks will bat an eye at your using adult markings for Sierra instead of the juvenile coat. I imagine most people couldn't tell you what a cougar kitten looked like if you asked them. Plus, having multiple different designs for different stages of a character's life can be pretty complicated. I have a character who's meant to have both a winter and summer coat, but I've only ever had one picture of her done with her winter coat because switching back and forth can get confusing for artists and viewers. Besides, if anyone asks, you can just say she's an early bloomer.

With the few predict ruined dresses when Dakota's twitching tail attracted sierra to pounce when Dakota is the few that is minding their own business when they are jumped and attacked. With questions about a cougar cub if they ever seen one to have Dakota in her juvenile coat markings when sierra is an adult cougar when more questions is in the fall when most mammals get their winter coat as in the spring they shed the winter coat.
