EDIT: Changed some of the stuff mentioned in that really helpful critique ^^ Thanks a bunch

Excuse the weird anatomy...

In this one I tried a sketchier, fluffier lineart... I think I kinda like the way I outlined the muzzle.

Ignore the rating. I don't like using that system. :U

The lineart is gorgeous! *_* And I love all of your details!

The only gripes I have about the cat is that the face seems a bit flat. It's because even in a shadow, there is ambient light that would light other areas! Here's a tutorial because I can't explain it well. :'D [link] (It's in the light sources chapter) The sparkles in the eyes seem a bit to overstated and symmetrical, but it's not that major.

The real flaws are in the background. The silhouetted mountains contrast way too much with the cat. Try either darkening the cat or lightening the mountains! Try not to use pure white or pure black too much! It's too attention-grabbing in large areas, so save it for small spots! You might also add some faint mountains in the background more more depth!

The sky's colors are awesome, but the stars are a bit too evenly spread. Try making some parts of the sky more dense with stars, adding clusters, or even colored stars, for a more magical sky! Or even try making some stars have a faint glow! Kinda like here: [link]

But overall, fabulous work! Thanks for reading my critique and happy drawing! :la:

Hello. c:
Your art is amazing! I was wondering if I could use this on a website I frequently go on as a profile picture. The website is known as Kugyay. If so, I will be sure to credit you for the picture and put a link to your deviantArt. Thanks!
