Hi Cleo, I saw this as a quick glimpse when I came back from my vacation. I loved it so much that when it disappeared from the "Welcome page" I went to your portfolio to find it! Love the look the cat's giving us and those long whiskers. Love what I think is a cat size witch's hat! I'm thinking this might be for Mark's witch's ball but I could be wrong! I love it no matter! It has nice Halloween flavor! Super Job My Friend! :o) Nancy

Outstanding digital art. The cat is so clearly done with realistic fashion and blended just as well. The hat looks Halloween-like. The Strokes in the background are so realistic of real paint strokes. Best wishes. Good photography of the work.

This is such an excellent digital rendition of this movie cat!
The cat is well created with accurate shape, structure and proportions, I love the hat it wears! Awesome show of the fur and I love the face and whiskers ! You bring this cat to life with your creation of its eyes!
This is worthy of a six Cleo, I'm sorry I don't have one left! This is impressive ! Well presented!

Beautiful Cleo!! This is lovely in every sense of the word - Gorgeous warm colors offset with fantastic whites and greens and one bold touch of purple as contrast. His textures and whiskers are finely crafted and that realistic look in his eyes is fascinating , he looks alive!

LOL! Besides having heard of that movie I don't know a damned thing about it,Cleo!
BUT having been a 'Cat Person' since I was a little kid I'm always happy to see artwork that depicts Felines and I think your digital presentation of this one looks Terrific!
'Good Show',my friend!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and full composition gives us a good luck at that cat. Got no idea of what the film is about. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely created!

You have indeed painted this cat well, and especially the eyes are well done. They are so full of life and light. You have also brought out fine textures both in the fur of the cat and the neutral colored background.

The cat is done paying such a good attention even to the smallest details, and with excellent use of high lights. I also like your bold but accurate brush work. Not to forget, the hat looks great.

The square format is perfect and the cat is well placed within the frame. This is a truly great looking and well done digital painting Cleo.

"Hot cat! Hot cat!" That is the line I remember... When he was released from the sack after hanging by the fire. Nice painting! Since I had children, I had to watch the movie a hundred times!
