If its alright I'll try to give some critisism. I may be a bit harsh but I just wanna help :'0 (I also have pretty bad grammar soo ya)

~~~

I really like the idea of this picture and freaking love the sun rays! I also feel that Tigerstar's ghost just add more to it! But there are a few things that could be worked on in order to make it a little better

First off, some of the anatomy is a bit off. I know you do not draw cats that often but its still worth being pointed out. Both the muzzles and Firestar's paw is what I feel is kinda off. Cat muzzles are a bit different from dogs because they are a lot smaller and closer to the face

 
as you see. Firestar's paw also seems a bit crooked. I know this was added for effect but it comes off as a bit odd since paws can't really bend like that. It could also be because it's a bit of an odd pose to take when you are jumping at someone. A suggestion is to have the arm maybe curled up to the side or also outstretched with the other arm.

Another thing that could be fixed is the background. I do feel that its really pretty and that you are improving a lot on them but I feel that the background and the background cats draw your attention away from where your eyes should be which is Scourge and Firestar. This is because there isn't enough contrast between the background and what you should be looking at due to both being lit in a similar way and how the background is in complete focus with the supper expressive cats in the back. Don't get me wrong, the expressions looks amazing, but it sort of distracting. A way that it could be fixed is to have it be slightly out of focus and, for this picture, might be better to sort of dim it and not the main characters because of it being dawn/dusk and the feeling the scene gives you. 

If my eyes are not focused on the background, its on only Firestar due to his bright orange pelt which stands out from the dark purple of the sky and green grass. This both can be good and bad. Good because you are looking at something you're spouse to and bad because you are only looking at Firestar. I feel that he is the only one that actually contrasting the scene because of the orange. The second I looked at the picture I was staring at Firestar didn't even notice Scourge till I followed Fire's gaze downwards and a few seconds later to see Tiger. This is because at a first glance Scourge pelt blends in with the trees and the cat behind him though this makes since due to his black fur but it is still possible to contrast it like for example, making the outline of the fur look lit by the sunlight and having a lighter border because of it. Another way is to have the colors be slightly different from him and the background but it can be hard to pull of because its a sunset/sunrise. And for Tiger I feel that he can actually stay the way it is because when you notice him you kinda start to feel bad for Scourge because of his past with him. If you want Tiger to actually be noticed the moment you look at the pic, you can maybe make him glow or have lighter colors (I was kinda thinking of having him as an "add" blending option).

And my last point is that I feel that the colors are a bit over the place. Not that its to the point of hurting my head but it doesn't feel like its connected in some way (its hard to explain.) There's like an odd mix of both warm and cool colors, mostly warm, with all the purple, orange, blue, and green. If used right, it would be fine but here its a bit off. For me the most distracting thing is Firestar's orange (which I already explained) and the green grass. The green of the grass just doesn't mix too well with the orange and purple of the scene and it doesn't help that it's a bit saturated. It would be best to maybe have it be like a darker green mixed with blue or purple so it can help make it feel that the grass sort of belongs there. It will also add on to the sort of sunrise/set scene. The background cat also might be better if they were shaded with something like red, orange, or purple because the blue adds to the way that your eyes are drawn to them and away from what you should look at because nothing in the scene is glowing with blue or reflecting blue on the cats. It's also a bit weird to use blue because its a warm purely orange scene though it could have been used to make them feel sort of other worldly or odd so it can be alright if the opacity was toned down or drawn in such a way that it stands out too much.


Also snce its a sunrise/set it would be best to just stick with almost to all warm to cool colors. Because of the context and how Firestar is orange, it would be best to stick with mostly warm colors and maybe a cool purple here and there.

Sooo that's it with my long as crap critique on the pic I hope I wasn't too harsh. The only problems I see and things you need to work on is really just the color choice and contrasting objects and characters. If you need any more input or something just ask :'0

Thank you so much for the criticism Griffin!!! I really appreciate it!! I noticed a lot of things were off with the drawing because I’m honestly not as proud of it as I would like to be, and your comment helped me figure out what I should work on c:

Thank you!! This is very useful ♥️♥️♥️
