Description So many black cats.... I'm gonna be so unlucky! Oh well, black cats are too cute not to love. I'll have to live with my unluckyness!

I can barely keep my eyes open, so I'm gonna have to hurry this description.
Since I spent pretty much my entire time after school studying for a bio test, I wasn't able to draw when I normally do. Being my stupid self, I decided at 9pm "I'm going to draw myself a desktop wallpaper instead of doing math practice or going to bed." So that's what I did.

This kitty was inspired by a myth I stumbled across on wikipedia somehow en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_s%C3… which I thought were pretty cool. Liking cats, old Irish myths and having the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack on repeat, I decided to draw this little bugger. I'm pretty proud of him, even though I'm not too fond of the background. I may change it later.

Anywho, I need to get some sleep. Nighty Night!

You did very well on the cat itself. It looks amazing. Although, I think it could use a tiny bit more texture. You know, like fur? x3

I often see cats with stars, but not quite like this. It amazes me how well it is.

I haven't seen many other people draw like you do, and some people don't even change their eye style. so, 5 star on that!

I can't really see anything that is actually wrong with it, except that I can't tell if those are bushes or trees. I love that river, though. Overall, it is very stunning.

Sorry if this doesn't turn out great, it's my first critique c:

First of all, the shading is just amazing. Maybe... Wait never mind, I don't see anything wrong with the shading, it's too perfect x3

I see a lot of drawings of cats sitting next to a beautiful background, but this just tops them off. Both the feline and the background have been drawn wonderfully.

I'm trying to find any thing to talk about, but there really isn't anything... wrong? (I dunno x3) in this awesome piece of art. ITS TOO PERFECT!

Anyway, it's very lovely, and everything is very well drawn!

Keep up the great work, my friend! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Don't worry about it! I discover art in your gallery all the time that somehow slip past my inbox

Thank you very much! It makes me glad to hear that the perspective looks good- that's what I find I struggle with the most! I tried a more realistic/gradient approach to the shading. Do you think I should shade like that from now on?

Oh wow Ribbon this is gorgeous! From the shading on the cat to the stars in the sky to the texture of the grass! This is a beautiful piece! The cat even looks a tad more realistic than what you usually draw, or maybe that's just me XD

Ribbon-Wren In reply to AgentCricket [2014-09-06 15:51:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I did aim to make the face look a little more realistic, you're right. I changed the eye and muzzle shape, as well as adding in thinner whiskers than I normally use.
