Mayhaps a good scanner is something that would be a worthy investment?
As far as aiming for the minimalist JPN style, now that you said you were aiming for that, it clicked for me, and you did quite well with that. Quite so, you did good with that style for sure.

This is another good'un from ye.
I love how the mane has a fiery look to it, further denoting anger. His expression is clearly "Fuck off", which I can't imagine is easy to pull off for animals.
There's a bit of a lack of proper background, but that's fine. The branches that are on there work for giving a sense of proportion for it, and still gives an idea of the surrounding.
All in all, another solid piece of work from you. Excellent stuff.

Thanks
I didn't do a whole lot of backround work, because I was trying out a new style, sort of a minimalist Japanese style that focuses more on the placement of certain objects to create balance and flow other than an actual detailed backround.
I just wish I'd touched this one up a bit more, the pic I took of it was so dark.

Some cropping and levels correction in photoshop would help this a little, but I love it just the same. The colours (golden tabby pattern) are beautiful, and I love the fierce pose. Great work!

Thanks, I don't have a scanner, so this is a photo,..I usually spiff them up a bit in photoshop, but my computer was taking forever to load it that day, so I went ahead and did the lazy ugly version, lol.
Thanks for the constructive crit.

Wow, that's not bad for a photo then. I complain a lot about how scanners completely eat the colour and texture from my work, but photos (or at least mine) are about ten times worse, even with tinkering in photoshop.

I don't have a scanner, everything of mine is photographed and then spiffed up in Corel Painter.
Its a hard way to work, especially cropping out edges where the paper curled and howed the floor underneath it, and the lighting has to be good outside so the colors don't get screwy.
And my stupid shadow gets in the way constantly...
Dang.
Oh well, its worked OK so far, if the photo is bad, I just retake it.
