I'm a Tiger

I think this is my best cat picture so far. The ones with just the faces seem to turn out so well, I should do more of them.

I had a lot of layers going on this one for a while, and it took 2 days to do, a few hours each day. I'd say about 5-6 hours in all.

Bluestar - Maybe!

A very backlogged request. This one was in general, coming along badly and looked stark and dull till I added the cherry blossom like background. This could be the warrior cat Bluestar, leader of Thunderclan before Firestar took her place. Though the request was just someone who wanted a blue cat.

Black and white warrior cat

Made as a request. The request asked for white ears but it looked better this way so I just put some white on the insides of the ears. I have to consider the whole picture and how it comes together. I think this is one of my best cat portraits yet.

Tortoiseshell Warrior!

It's that tortie-coated Warrior she-cat...wait...IS there one in the canon? I can't actually recall if there is. I don't mean calico, I mean tortoiseshell--that brindled mix of black and orange/cream that is almost exclusively seen in female cats.

Well, our RPG has plenty of them and though this was not an easy one to draw, it was a lot of fun. I got back to the more painterly look. If Erin Hunter doesn't have a tortie in the Warriors series yet, she should put one in, because they're awesome.

American Curl Cat

This is my most recent one, a request done for someone on my own site. It is my most photorealistic cat portrait yet, but I actually don't want to go in that direction, I prefer a more painterly look, though this one has a lot of people liking it.

I hope to get another cat done some time this week...I got a lot of requests to fill!

Request for Emberheart: Red tabby she-cat

This was sure a change in mood from the one before. I had pretty poor photo references for this cat so it was mostly just me making up from memory and such what the cat looked like. Especially around the muzzle area I improvised. I think that is why it looks a little more cartoony than my others, but I like cartoony. I think it came out well. It looks more like a kitten than a cat but Emberheart really liked it.

Longhaired brown tabby cat

This was a request for a "brown longhaired cat" and I know this person likes Maine Coons so I did this one up to resemble one somewhat. I took longer on this than usual and did a little more play on the colours. I think it came out one of my best. He definitely looks like a warrior cat!
