I love the design! It looks like a force to reckon, but a mysterious character that could either be an enemy or an ally with her own agenda. I want to pet her hair, as dangerous as it looks!
Thank you for showing the process, it was fascinating to read!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also feel the ambiguity you feel. Her facial features could psychologically represent a kind character. But her eye shape, choice of colour, eyebrows, ... could seem alerting!
(Though I personally love cats too much to find the eyes threatening at all! XD)
