Description Art trade with =shatteredscar , of her fursona Shatter. I'm sorry this is so way overdue, me and Paint lately... x) But I hope you like it! I don't feel like I did the trees in the distance too well (there should be more trees too) but oh well!
Her part:

This was another very eventful Join.Me! No worries though, Glitch ;D

Hmm, it wasn't really supposed to be a sunset ;D It's the tree leaves and all, but it's not too clear honestly xD Should've added more tree-like shadows there.
And the character is female :3
Thanks a lot, and thank you for critiquing! I really appreciate it cx

This is the first time I've ever critiqued on something, so bare with me here...

---

There are A LOT of good things about this picture, by far! The scenery is quite stunning altogether, so I had to give vision a high set.
The only fault I can find in it is that the sky blends in a bit too much with the tree leaves.
Perhaps if you were to have dulled the sky a bit, it may give some better contrast.

As for originality, orange forests are rather common in art, although is does compliment the image of the brown on the cat better than other backgrounds could.

I've always loved the style of shading you use, and honestly, I don't find it used as often as it seems. The only few artists I know of that use this is you, and AgoraphobicBlue and a few other random artists I see here and there.

As for the impact, I had to give it five stars because the whole blowout of the picture is quite beautiful!

There has to be just ONE other things I could say and that would be the left hindleg.
It may just be me, but it looks a bit off. It just looks a little too curved.
(I shouldn't be complaining, my anatomy sucks anyway.)

Overall, it looks amazing, and I can't wait for you to draw more art. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/>

I wasn't sure about the sky either, so I just tried this :'D I don't really like how it looks on the full picture though cx You're probably right about that.
And your anatomy doesn't suck, it IS a bit too curved

Thanks a lot for critiquing! c: I really appreciate it!

Wow, dude ._. This blew me away ._. Damn your talents e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="XD"/>

Anyways, to the critiquing...

Pro's:
- The colours are very well done.
- The shadows are very realistic.
- Your cat... I dunno, it just looks realistic in a non-realistic way, ya know?
- The roots of the trees. Most people would go from leaves to branches to trunk... and stop there. But you did the roots!! Yay!!
- The cat's expression. Evilness. Malice. Love it.

Con's:
- Barely any.
- I don't really get the ribbon thing around the cats' head. I assume that serves a purpose though and am not really counting that as a con.

Excellent work! I hope to see more ^^

The structure is really good, and so is the background. I personally think you could use some more shading, just to make it POP. You know? The shading is needed for contrast. If you squint your eyes, can you really see a big difference?All you can really see if you squint is barely a cat with some trees. Although structure, and color really make this go "wow!", it could use shading. When you squint your eyes, all the colors blend together and don't make a standout piece. Overall, this drawing is very well done, nice job!!! Keep up the good work!!

Hmm, I can see what you mean, though the highlights do stand out a bit on the cat, which is what I was aiming for But I'll try to do some darker shading next time then!
Thank you for critiquing, I appreciate it

I totally missed watching you draw this on livestream, but I absolutely adore the colours you used. Hopefully I'll be able to catch you earlier on your next stream. The fact that you draw pictures like this in Paint is super amazing and you utilise the program very well. I especially love the way you did the trees.
