Description

After about a million brush strokes, I think it's complete - talk about hand cramps. PS7 and Wacom 6x8 was used. Took approx. 10 hours. I layed out the landscape first and did cat last. Experimented with some custom brushes to do the fur. Thanks for any comments.....:o

That's great. From the thumbnail, I thought it was a photo or a manip. It has wonderful detail. I really can't think of anything to critique.

This is awesome. Sorry about the hand cramps, but I think you should work on the foreground grass a little more. Especially the grass near the bottom of the image. It's such a realistic image, the grass just doesn't look finished.

The fur on the cat look fantastic! +8

I have to post twice. This is better than anything Anry or kss have ever done!

In response to that last comment, Anry and kss have significantly different styles and subject matter, so it should not be compared like that.

Anyway, this is a very good piece. The textures look great, and I especially like the change in focus.

I'm going to assume you used photo references, only because you have in the past. If so, could you post a link?

I appreciate any comments and critiques that are given. I really don't care for being compared to others that way because eveyone here does such great and unique work. Honest constuctive critiques can only make you better as an artist. That said.....actually the only photo reference I used was from some different poses of tigers to get their stripes and colors correct. Sorry I dont have a link :(
I think my next post might be either something original or mabey a self portrait, I really like the one disenchanted did....Thanx as always..tbone

I do really like this but I'll have to agree with the previous comment, the grass in the foreground is too 2d and kind of lets the piece down as you can't afford but see it. The time you've put into the fur really shows - congrats on a good job.

Heh. I suppose the "ambush" theme with tigers was a good one if we both thought of it. :) Yours is just great! I love how he's hiding behind the log. Great colors and textures. :)
