oh my goodness, that's so lifelike and beautiful! Yet again, I am blown away by your sketching talent! the way you penciled in the stripes so they still look furry... I can't wait for more!
*stages a very well deserved parade*

oh wot the *********************************************************!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, i tend to swear when perpetually amazed!!!! *promptly faints*
You don't even wanna know about the fainting, either...
How, How How? How (i have a stammer) can u draw so amazingly well? This is like you've taken a real life cat, plonked it on the page and made it 2D. Though, like the drawing of Metatron, this drawing is anything but 2D !!! It is so painstakingly detailed and every single hair is done with precise care! The face is beautiful-hell, the whole things beautiful!!! u have captured the textures of the muzzle, fur, whiskers, eyes, etc exceptionally! The eyes are so beautiful- the're so mysterious and curious, and seem to hold a certain cat-like amusment! This masterpiece must have taken you hours to complete! u really are a true artist-keep it up!

beautiful shading-its really really good -keep it up! i can't believe how good this is!!!

It is so realistic that it looks like some old fashioned black and white photo!
U can see something of Will in her!

omg thats gorgeous!!!! it really is like a real life cat! and you really can see Will in her, i could only ever dream of drawing something that beatuiful. i really do hope we see more of your art!

Thanks guys. It is nice to see people appreciating my art. I hope to have some kind of exhibition soon as I do other stuff as well and I am having a really boring summer away from Uni so I got 'His Dark Materials' out of the library, read the entire thing in a week (lol - that's how little I have to do!) and then decided to share my visions of the characters with you guys. Another one is brewing in my imagination! Will start it tomorrow! I have a particular fondness for cats having two of my own and so I am used to drawing cats so am glad you like this one. :)

Lizzietiffon01 are you a budding artist? I notice your critiques are pretty sophisticated and you seem to know what you are talking about. Good to see people as enthusiastic about art as you.

cats are fun to draw arent they? i have a big fat cat named Titus,he all white with black spots.cant wait to see more of your art!

thanks! yeah, i'm really into art and drawing etc, and i'd like to think that i will become an artist (probably no) but right now its just a hobby thing.

Lol. Me too. Went to art college for a bit but then decided I was better off learning about other people's art and just doing my own on the side. Keep at it though :)

thanks

Lol nightshade. Titus is a fab name for a cat by the way. I'd like to think that my daemon would be a cat ( a siamese ), well I can pretend with my own, although they don't talk unfortunately!! Miaow like crazy but no actual words there..Lol.

omigosh! i wish i could draw cats like that! it is so awesome. how long did it take? i love the layers and the way the fur is fluffed in such a realistic way. believe me, i've seen it enough times on my own cat to say it looks like it could walk out of the computer screen and onto the keyboard!""grugesheougbgyjkioeyhtgbKUWERHGFWGUGuodwhggvue96437utg-like that.

Lol KittyKat. It did take me a couple of hours. I draw a lot of cats so I am getting a lot of practice. Thanks for the comment though! :)

That is soooooo amazingly lifelike!!!!! The fur is just brill and the way you've even shaded kind of messy bits in it, and the shape of the body is perfect, and the eyes are so real looking to!!! It's practically a photo it's that great!!!! :-D

simply---WOW!
you had patience to really recreate the fur.
And it's in a cat pose that one does not usually see.
amazing!

Someday------ I vow to draw like that (head bowed)

Love ur work.... def lookin forward to more characters ;)

Charlotte! This is the best cat sketch I've seen, anywhere. I adore cats. Let us see a witch by you, I think you'd do it admirably. Follow it up with Will, followed by Lyra.

wow I love what you've done with the fur. Very nice. The face is lovely. Well done

hey charlotte..... wow, i say it again wow... she looks so realistic ita amazing!!!!! its somethinng in its eyes that just catch the viewers attention, its lovely.... Lyra24

WOW!!! is this a drawing or a photo? i can see why Serifina didn't want to look her square in the eyes. really intense!

Charlotte, you are what would be called an 'artistic genius'.

Lol. I wouldn't go that far!!

WOW! So good! you should try it with colour!

amazing! i can almost see the color in Kirjava's eyes, even though it's pencil.
(that may sound weird, but that's what i thought when i saw it.)

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I'm crazy..... *runs around mad, falls over a coffee table, and lands on a hobo*

omgomgomgomgomgomgomg that is amazing

oh my gott it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG that is so amazing!!!!!! A cat is so hard to draw and .... WOW!!!! what can I say? the fur is so amazing, and SO realistic! That is more than perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wauw! It's absolutely beautiful!! I thought it was a picture when i saw it, and then realized it wasn't.
Seems fantastic to me if you can draw like that!

that looks exactly like my cat
Minerva , same expression too!!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP IT UP!!!!

Wow! That is so perfect. It really gets the cat personality, and the expression reminds me of Will. It's all perfect. I love it. It reminds me a bit of my cat, Cimorene, actually. You have an amazing talent, keep it up!

Ahhh!! (That was a good scream, by the way.) That is so so so awesome!! *faints in awe* It looks like a photograph only, er, onviously not a photograph, y'know? It's so realistic! Like if I tease it it'll leap right off the page and scratch me. You're my favourite artist on the whole site, I think. Keep up the awesome work!
