I have a tutorial floating aroudn in my main gallery folder called "Paint like me" - I intend to create a better one when I get time, but that one shows my process

Simply stripey...! (Interesting decision to name her Raven~)

But I really like the particles for bg; it's quite surreal when mixed with the Raven's pattern. Like a camouflage.

At first my sister got after me for using the leaf brush like that (it's the standard leaf from photoshop seven) but it works really nice on a lot of these to add texture when played with And I really don't know why her name was Raven - I should have asked! There might have been an interesting story there.

I noticed the leaf brush right after I hit comment, but it's used well, so why gripe. ¦>

The worst time to use leaf brush is of course when one is trying to pretty up a tree, when the subject matter is the landscape.

Thankfully I didn't know the kitty so for the most part it's a happy piece for me to work on because, like most of the memorial paintings I've been asked to do, the owner gets so excited to have it as a reminder that all I get is the positive emotions of it all

Then it sounds like a win-win for everyone.

A fluffy kitty
So sad that he passed away
I love how you did the stripes on this kitty (especially front paws )
I would only suggest that you could've maybe put it's head a bit more ''behind'', but he's pretty anyways

Thank you! What do you mean behind? Just curious She's a chubby kitty but I don't know if that effects what you're trying to tell me so I'll wait and see

haha.. i thought it'll be confusing XD anyway i meant a little bit up and a little bit more to the right... and i don't think it'll effect much to the chubbiness of the kitty

Well, I probably made it look screwy because I made her head a tiny bit bigger than it was in reality in an attempt to amp up cute and fat look but maybe I shouldn't have! She didn't seem to notice so I'll probably leave it alone, but I can see where you are coming from here. I forgot to do the canvas-flip trick to make sure thigns were okay!
