Artist's Comments

Thank you for the features! ([link] [link])

Commission for :iconchrisabell:

It's her characters, Dawn (cat) and Hope (equine).
I have to say, it was really something else trying to draw a cat. I love cats so much... they're my favorite animal! But I never had much luck drawing them. But I think I got it :]

Originally I drew this in black and white, but I like the sepia tone better. I did throw on a slight red overlay, though, just to give a slight hint at their markings :)

I left out the wings too, because I thought it looked more artistically pleasing this way.

I keep intending to only spend an hour or so on these, being as they got a good deal, but just keep finishing them :XD: *Chrisabell deserves it; she's a loyal commissioner. Much love! :heart:

This. Looks. Amazing. The fur looks brilliant and they both look so contented!
:icondreamwhisper:
Oh wow, this is beautiful!!

The lighting and shading are gorgeous. The fur looks so soft, the hair shiny and god..it just looks realistic! I've never been good with cats either but Dawn looks wonderful, I just love the way you highlighted the face and fur. Hope looks amazing as well, I love how the hair looks.

Wonderful, wonderful piece. :heart::heart:

OMflippinG!!!!! :wow: This is incredibly gorgeous! I love how soulfull Hope's eye seems, so deep, like a years has passed through them in a matter of minutes, and Dawn, OMG Dawn looks so freaking loving here. The expression on her face reminds me of my own dear kittys when they show their affection. I love the rustic tone of this aswell. It suites them greatly.. *spazzes* The texture of the fur and mane is simple breathtaking O_O.. I'm so going to keep comissioning you. This really made my day! :heart: I LOVE YOU!!! MARRY ME!!! :faint:
