    Amazing Kite! I can not do water color to save my life, but the way you make those ink spot markings around it was amazing, and the skill level in using water colors is really very good! The iris is perfect. <3 The only thing I suggest is looking at pictures of real human eyes, or someone else's eye to practice the anatomy of the eye a little more. But you are very good!

    Really nice picture, I love the way you shade and highlight and make fur. What program do you use? ouo The only suggestion I have is trying to make the face a little angrier looking- the ears folded back, eyes squinting, folds on the bridge of the nose and forehead - and practicing big cat anatomy. As you can see in here and here the nose is farther away from the eyes with a longer muzzle, the eyes' inner corners are align to the top edges of the nose, and the ears are folded backwards. There also are more folds of the skin from the mouth pulling up, but you did a really nice job. :]

@SK:)
Thank you for the lovley compliment, I really appreciate it <3

@Kite
Oh my that watercolor painting is gorgeous <3 . I'm very jealous, I have a water color set and i'm not nearly as good as you c:
I love PixieCold's work, so I love this so much as well! I love the colors you used and the detail, it really makes is beautiful <3

@Black Sabbath
I really like this piece, very pretty and expressive. I love the shading and highlights and that fur, it looks so clean and nice <3
I'm not the best at big cat anatomy, so I wont critique much. It all seems well in place, but I agree with foreign.potato with some things as in the ears folded back more and to have the eyes squint a tad bit more in anger. I think it would add a lot more of any 'angry' look to it. Other then that, I really love this piece, its gorgeous <3
Plus thank you so much for the critique! Now looking back at my photos, I do realize the repetitive angle I use, probably since it sits up nicer and is easier to take pictures of. I will definitely try to do some more different angle shots to give it that more 'moving' and 'flying' look to it. I did recently try to do a different angle with the Pegasus figure I used in the last picture before. It was a harder shot to take, my camera did not want to focus on it correctly, which is usually why I give up on different angles. But, after monkeying with it for awhile, I managed to get a half-way decent shot. I do like this much better then the other one, it definitely gives it that more flowing and moving feel to go along with the fantasy theme. I will definitely try to get some different angles the next time I take photos c:

hope this picture and angle gives it a more true flying look P:

    Thank you both, however he is not a big cat. Amadeus is a housecat, and their noses do not tend to wrinkle as much as big cats but I can see why you thought that. I agree his ears could go back a little more so thank you both very much for that. Also, foreign.potato I use Sai, why do you ask?

    Cartie911: That looks less static than the other shots and I think it attracts more attention (not to say your other photos were bad) to the shot- keep it up.

Ah, I see now. Very nice picture, though. ^^ And I was just wondering because I really like your work and wanted to know what you used to make it! I use SAI, too. ouo

@Black Sabbath

The colours you choose were nice but the anatomy and metal earrings need some work

The cats eyes should be a bit closer together and the teeth need more singularity to them. The canines on the sides of the mouth are not that pointy and the middle teeth have more exact definition and size to them. The ears should be smaller if its a house cat (unless the design specifically calls for larger ears, than it looks fine).

The earrings need to be more contrasted to look more like metal. Usually metal has the bright spot where the light is shining on it, a very black shaded area and then a light reflected on the other side. @ is a example of this effect. Usually metal does some other crazy things but for the earring this should suffice. Also, the earring would probably have some weight to it (unless it was made of plastic or something of the sort) so if there was a little gap between the top of the piercing and the earring it might look a little better.

There are a couple other things but they are pretty much minimal, it looks wonderful and the angle and colouring is nice.

Overall good work

On an unrelated note, I did half of a running animation sketch

http://lillithsong.deviantart.com/art/A ... a_recent=1

Any critiques for what I have so far would be appreciated. I would like to have had more to present here but I'm much too tired to do the other half because that would involve changing the size of all the layers individually because of Photoshop's GIF options.
