Description This is my second entry for an art exhibition at my local art gallery/museum.

This was created using soft pastels on A2 canvas paper.
Took about 7-8 hours I think. It was really hard to get right at the beginning and made me really frustrated, but I think it worked in the end. But the flower drftgyhuji I dunno about the flower. Let's just say it's slightly less detailed to make you focus on the cat more, you know, depth of field? Yeah, let's say that xD

Like my other picture, I have to submit this on Thursday or Friday in the hopes that it'll be accepted. Fingers crossed!

Would anyone be willing to pay for a picture like this? If so, I could open commissions for these That's only if a lot of people are interested, though.

Special thanks to ~Kiara-Vestigium for allowing me to use her beautiful photograph as a reference for the cat! The cat's name is Kiki Such an awesome name, dayum.
Here's her photograph that I used as a reference:


And the reference for the flower/ yellow lily: [link]

Here's the other picture I plan to submit to the same exhibition:

No way! I have a cat OC called Kiki who was turned into a lioness from The Lion King permanently after visiting that realm! She can form portals to different locations, realms and dimensions

I've just come back from a long break from dA as soon as I saw what you've uploaded over the past month or so, I was blown away. Seriously, these traditional, colourful portraits you've been doing are absolutely stunning. They're so unique and have such a powerful impact!

This one, especially, caught my attention - I love how the limited colour scheme adds to the effect, and the reflection on the fur and in the eyes. <3
