Description So, I decided to give realism a third real shot.. on the previous one, I had troubles with the 'individual tufts' around the neck of Autie, but I think I've improved on that with Afya's chest here. It wasn't as hard as I thought, and I feel really good now that I'm using Photoshop CS again (I've been using OC waaaay too much lately). The touch ups are made in OC3, of course, but 90% of the picture was done in PS.

So yes, another gift (My, I've been feeling rather generous lately O_o), this time for another 'net friend of mine; Clare, also known as Afya. This would be the latter, of course.. tis her character.

I don't generally reply to comments because they count as other comments too (as if other people commented), so.. but well, as far as popularity goes I don't really am popular.. so. I don't really expect people to comment and fav my art.. but I'm thankful of those who do, no doubt. o.- It's very kind of you to point my page to your friends.. I really don't know what to say.. but if you feel I deserve such, then go ahead.

It's so real and wonderfully done! The neck fur looks fantastic!

Your gallery is just bursting with talent, and you don't have nearly enough recognition. A fav on this and a watch for you!

I think you did a really great job. Especially with the chest and ear-fur.

Two little things I've noticed though...
- The upper snout (I hope it's the right word, if not - the place her whiskers come out of) seems less realistic than the rest of the picture as there aren't any visible fur strands...
- Her fur suddenly turns green on the lower left part of the picture, probably a coloring mistake?

Again, really nice work and compared to the previous one (Is it "Smiled Upon" or "Snowy Elegance"?), I think you've improved more than a lot.

Hmm, I don't know for sure what do you mean with the upper snout, but the fur turning green is not a mistake. XD You see, it's supposed to be leaves that are blurry since the picture is focussing on the cat and not on the leaves before it. But thanks for the nice comment.. I think I've improved a little bit from the last 2 works too, but there's still a long way to walk. <3

You are coming along nicely! Realism is a difficult thing to tackle not so much because of the amount of skill it requires...in fact I doubt that even applies much XD...but rather in the patience it takes to learn it and achieve it each and every time. YOU GO GIRL. The bg actually works quite nicely with the panther and keeps the focus nicely on the main subject. Keep it comin, I will have my face glued to the screen ^_^
