~X~

Firstly, sorry to hear of the lose of your mother's cat.....Right now that's out of the way I can criticise like I came here to do.

Very realistic, especially around the edges with the fur on top of the blue backdrop. It can not be improved as far as I can tell although it isn't really my style or in my taste when it comes to art. The only thing that stuck out to me was the closed eye. There is no visible eyelid, this may be the case with I'm guessing the photo you worked from but to please the eye of the viewer I would have put one in. Just a subtle little line to indicate that there is actually an eye under there.

All in all a good piece really, especially the flowing sheet (?) that the cat is lay on and the little details that you have put in with the fur and the open eye.

Keep it up.

If I didn't know this was a painting, it'd be easy to mistake for a photo with a filter. The fur on the cat is particularly realistic. It looks like you're using brushes for blotches of fur (?) rather than individual strands, but it works well, the colors blend together nicely as does the overall texture. Especially the back and top of head looks perfect, and the eye really glitters until you zoom in (looking closely that border around the eye gives it away) but the 'beard' feels unnaturally large or brushy when compared to the rest of the cat. The left eye is so hidden it almost seems forgotten, until you zoom in. I guess this might have something to do with how the fur on the eyelid floats together perfectly with the rest of the face. I wonder if it does this in reality too?

The covers and wall look good, but they aren't quite as realistic as the critter. Lines and shades are all fuzzy here, and it's clear that parts a painting. Looks good though, and sorry about the cat. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your review. The cat had only one eye in life as it was surgically removed due to a rather nasty infection that occurred before we found him. Yet I will keep your critique in mind when working with fur.
