Description

My half of the art trade with :iconkatmomma:

It was actually very cool to try an antropomorphic character, definitely something I never tried before. I started from a pic of a siamese cat, and tried to get across some of the features and expressions from katmomma's awesome character... I don't feel very good at this sort of thing, but it was probably the best challenge of the batch of art trades I did, and I was very happy for it :)

I tried applying some inky looking effects to get the pic to feel like a painted illustration, I hope they work :)

Omgoodness! I love how this turned out! The inkiness is absolutely perfect for it, and I adore the expression. You did such a fantastic job of really capturing the animal as well as the character. And those whiskers are just dripping off of his face. It's a really fitting and wonderful effect. :D What settings did you use in order to get this brush stroke? It's so washy-looking, I love! haha

And I also just wanted to say, in general, I am so impressed at the amount of time you've spent on each of these trades. When people sign on for those, the pieces often are rushed, thrown together, used as practice, or altogether forgotten. There is such a visible amount of thought and effort behind each of these pieces (in the good way), that they've been wonderful, beautiful illustrations all in their own rights. It's really something, and like I said, very impressive. :D
