Wow, the new submission system is nice.

Anyway, this took 694 minutes. Which equals...11.56 hours. This was tough!

Reference: [link]

I loved this cat right away, and wanted to wait b/c it's fur looked so complicated. The way it was photographed gave the fur a blueish tint that I didn't feel like emulating, so I stuck with greys and tried to get the other colors fairly close. As for anatomy issues, the fur wasn't exact, and the head is too large/wide, but it couldn't really be helped.

After saving it so many times (I can't sit there for 3 hours easily, nevermind 11...), the compression was eh, you can see the white specs on it's face. Some of the black started turning green; I fixed some but it's really widespread. The eyes got dark, but that is just fine with me since it really turned into a different cat.

I love how the top of the lantern (last thing I did) looks real. I didn't know I could do that. :D

So whatever, I'm tired. This was mostly the result of typical teenage depression/apathy/stress anyway, but it was fun at certain parts.

Do you take pictures and draw over them or is that by looking at something and drawing it because its amazing either way to me

I don't know how I'd copy and paste the pic to trace over it in oekaki, so I have to sketch the proportions first. I suppose it would be ok to draw over certain ones and add stuff in, but I'd think that to be more photomanipulation.

fucken a XD this is sooo gorgeous... i really love all teht exture and work you put into doing the fur and clunkiness of the pages and everything @_@ its one of the things i admire the most in some pictures... since there is a small lantern, maybe you could do a bit more yellowish lighting on soome parts of the fur around that area if you do one like this next time... unless its like that in the ref?... (if its even there, since my computer wont let me view it for soome reason.) anyways.. gorgeous work all in all, so detailive. <3
