Okay, so I drew an herbivore creature...So now, I decided to draw a predator from the same environment. A nocturnal, feline, pack hunting predator. The Yelt is a small cat like creature that has 6 radial claws on the front paws, and 5 radial claws on the hind paws for easy climbing through dense jungle. The front paw has a rear talon, much like raptor or bird of prey. Yelts attack from the canopies gliding down with front paws, rear talon out. They have a small rounded tail that is a lighter color that the rest of their body, and is used for signaling the rest of the pack like a deer. Unlike a normal cat with the nose on the front of the snout, they have a larger nose the takes up a majority of the snout and is its main way to track its prey. Its eyes are hard and luminescent, more like ocular stones making it near impossible to blind. It relies on scent and sight more than hearing, and evolution has rendered it deaf, the ears are a defense making passers by assume it can hear them walking by. More drawings should be up soon, I hope to make a character sheet for it as well.
Special thanks to my friend Mer for the name

Some concept art for a scene I intend to work on. Done in photoshop 4/14/10 during some spare time in lab. I've been calling it the Atlantis Portal for lack of a better name.
