Wow I just wanted to step in here to say that is /gorgeous/. Yeah I'm not really sure but I think if you did show something like that it would be for show only, cuz I haven't seen anything like that be allowed on the galleries thus far, but it wouldn't hurt to show what you can do I would imagine. Just..yanno..make sure your other things are furry themed I guess

I'm not a reviewer Cheetah, but that is a nice still-life. Watercolor, right? It does show that you can do realistic/believable light and shadows to convey form. From what I've heard about the review process, you CAN include things in your application that wouldn't necessarily go in your AS gallery, like human figures to show that you can do anatomy. I don't think it's the -best- choice if you can do something more 'on-topic,' but I think as long as you also show that you can do anthros and whatnot, and you're just using this to show that you can also do lighting, you'll be okay. Don't take my word for it, though- that's just my opinion on it. You'll want to get an actual reviewer cheetah to confirm it- and like I said, it'd definitely be better for you if you could apply the same principles to an anthro or animal.

I painted this for my mom, and I wonder if it would be allowed as a portfolio piece? It's not anthropomorphic art, but I think it addresses something that was pointed out as missing in my last application. Most of the critique was about shading.
