EDIT: Removed critique because i consider this older work now but you're still welcome to say things even though it might be useless since i have improved.

ha, this drawing was funny. Originally I had it be Rusty, from Warriors... but now it's just a random orange cat now. xD

Or, maybe it is Rusty.

you decide LOL

*Ahem* anyway, this was supposed to be a sketch because I was really awful at cat faces. And it turned into this. :P

Before critiquing! Make sure it is an -actual- critique when you submit it! Not just "hu its purrfect and this is what i like about it" because that is a comment, not a real critique. It's not rude, in face, artists want you to point out their mistakes during critique! I am no exception.

This drawing belongs to *Xurnam

This is my first critique so, before I make people think otherwise with whatever criticism I have, I love this picture.

When I saw this in my Deviantwatch, my reaction was just wow. The colours, the background and rusty's face were all perfect. I had looked at the picture before I saw the name and I was surprised that it was by Xurnam because it isn't recognisable as her work, which is a good thing. I had seen her other realisms as well and I think that this is one of her best.

But... when I clicked on the picture to get a closer look, I can't deny that I felt a slight bit disappointed. Let me explain, the background, the colours and Rusty's face were still perfect. I also noticed that I loved the smaller details like his nose, whiskers and collar but... I think the fur detail could be better.

Now, before you kill me, the fur detail is very nice and well done but I think it's a little too corse. I noticed this with some of Xurnam's other works as well and I remember that I thought it took away from the impact then.

Again, the fur detail is very well done so this could be a choice in style but I can't help but think that if the fur was a little softer it would look more realistic and the finished result would have a better impact. This is just my opinion, though, so please no hate if you completely disagree. I still love the picture and I look forward to other realisms by Xurnam.

As for any other criticisms, I have none. I noticed that some other people didn't like the trees or the grass so much but I disagree. I am in love with background along with the colours and the lighting.

This is very nicely done ?
I love the texture and the grass but I think the tree would look better if you put a bit more texture?
This is the most most beautiful artwork I have ever seen you got talent?
The light shinig to rusty or whoever the cat is, its beautiful.
The lighter texture on the fur is also very very beautiful.
The background needs a little realistic
Look though so as the grass too.
The eyes would look better if you did it a bit glowing.
This is a very beautiful picture...
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :D !

Everything in there is fine but I would remove or make the grass smaller because it stands out more. Overall the drawing is great butlike I sad before the grass. o3o
