So I hope posting this works out. This is for booklover789's contest for a character named... Rocktalon!!! (who would've guessed by the title? ) Mostly I did this for practice for coloring natural cats, but entering something you can have a chance of winning doesn't hurt! I read over booklover789's do and don'ts and went with some characteristics from the breeds that were do's. I should have done a gray tabby, but the brown fit much better with the eyes. (which I'm very proud of!) The claw mark over the left eye is supposed to resemble the second half of the name: talon. Maybe this brave warrior got into a fight with a hawk or owl as a 'paw? I'm not sure, but thought some scars would build the backstory and (maybe) the name a bit better to the cat I created. Enjoy!

You're the first person to incorporate scars into their piece. I applaud you for that. I love his pattern as well. Well done.
