Artist's Comments

A birthday present for Kribu.

Lots of learning. Black paper, a base of conte crayon and then detail with Daler Rowney white, black and sepia pencils. The cat's eye is a combination of blue conte crayon and white pencil.

The photo actually picks up more of the pigment than you can see under electric light. For once, I think it looks pretty good!

Oh, my goodness, this is absolutely superb. I'm speechless. This is going to be a major fave of mine for a long time - it's inspired. :hug: Beautifully done.



ps. :headbang:

I know I should be staring at Snape, but I keep staring at the cat! That is an absolute perfect kitten expression (and hey, he ain't too bad either).

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

And who is performing Legilimens upon whom?

My money is on the cat.

This is perfectly stunning, Camillo. Excellent.

Hello!

Wow, that's actually very cool to hear. I wanted to do a decent cat for Kribu, since she asked ;-) Thanks!

Gorgeous! My money's on the kitty to win the stare down.

As ever your artistic genius astounds me. I'm not a cat fan, but I love this one. And Severus- this is the closest to what's in my mind when I read. There is such depth, esp nose, cheekbones; not sure if this is the right word- but this is so realistic, I feel I could touch him.

Oh squee! This is my shot at how I see him too. Fine-drawn and stubbled.
