Artist's Comments

A portrait of my parents' cat, Angel.

The image was inspired by both the cat's name, and by the Sailor Moon manga where Ami says something along the lines of "That cat suddenly fell out of the sky. I thought it might be an angel" (though in Japanese, of course).

I tried to give it a very ethereal look with the translucent blue wings and the ripples of shining, blue water.

The fur, especially around the head, was surprisingly easy to paint; much more so than drawing it would have been because I could do it in layers.

Really needs something in the upper right corner to balance it, though.

Thanks! ^-^ I'm so glad it turned out looking so realistic.

Such a pretty kitty - the wings are great. I love how they're semi-transparent - it's almost like they could just be a figment of one's imagination - or not. Maybe up in the corner where (she/he) is looking, you could put a bit of light, such as from a star or lamp or something? The face is just perfect! Very, very realistic. I think this is one of the best I've seen from you so far. =D

Comment, because you care.
Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.

Thanks ^-^ *hugs*

There is actually a bit of blue light in that corner of the actual painting, it just doesn't show up here. It's not enough, though. I think it needs to be some sort of object.
