This kitty's my first attempt at a spotted tabby. I'm happy with how they turned out on my first try. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Anyone with the proper MYO ticket has my permission to claim this cat.

Hi! ^^ I'm not a staff member, but I though I'd share that I noticed your cats' markings are a lot fuzzier than those of the main adopts'. It might be a better idea to use a cleaner brush setting for those.
Do you use a mouse to draw..? If so, then what I would do is make sure the brush is set to 'round hard' and, after I've roughly marked in the stripes on a separate layer, go back over them with the eraser tool to make sure the stripes taper to a curved point.
I wouldn't use too much blur or smudge either, if at all.
One other thing I've noticed is that many (though not all) have a gentle gradient base coat. So, for example with this kitty, I would keep the current tan as a base and use a very large airbrush to a a very slightly lighter tan to the chest, belly and underside of the tail, and a slightly darker tan along the top of the head, neck, along the spine and along the top of the tail, maybe not all the way to the end, though. Use your own observation on what feels like the right amount.
Those are all my thoughts. How you don't mind my having shared 'em. Otherwise, I think you have great ideas for cat designs ^^
