I really like the way you’ve painted the water, however you’ve done it, it’s fantastic.
I don’t know if the background is done yet, but it looks very confusing, and maybe something more contrasting to the water would help.
Good work

Very beautiful! I specially like the pose of the cat. 
In my opinion, and I know it is early to say that, but maybe you should make the fin a bit up from the water (maybe would be cool to add some drops falling).
It is really nice! I will be watching it!

Jengeng: Haha, I’m glad u like the idea, and I agree with you. Somehting is preventing this painting to go to the next level, and a different cropping might just do the trick. I have considered cropping it right to the intimacies of them, but then my heart stopped me cause i didn’t want to lose all the other elements, but I think i’m gonna try out a bunch of different croppping and see which one ppl like. Thanks for your suggestion!
Ahem: haha no apologies needed! I’m glad you brought this up, cause when I was doing it. I was hoping that different ppl will have different interpretations of what the cat is thinking, and straddling was one of them… haha I was thinking of a pose that is both agressive (straddling, in control), and defensive (scared) at the same time.
Dissipation: Thank you!! I appreciate it!
Walrus: hahah I’m glad u brought this up, now i know what you’re thinking! haha just joking, I’m sure ur just one that is brave enough to bring it up. I like your idea of changing the cat’s colors. I will try that out and see what sort of feeling it conjures up! thank you!
WIL: haha, I think which ever way you look at it, it’s just fine. Since I want the viewer to project their own characters and situation into this painting. So I guess it’s ‘you see what you want to see’! haha
Killer-instinct93: Thank you! I’m quite happy with how the water turned out as well. I basically just grabbed tons of water pictures off the net and layered a bunch of different paint on, and trying to keep it loose at the same time. Yeah I will start to brain storm some ideas of the bg soon, as it has been brought up many times that it’s the weakest part of the painting at the moment.
Anatomista: Thank you! I’m glad u like it. I think ur idea is great, I think if it’s done right, it would add to the WOW factor to this painting! I’ll definitely work on that some more! thanks!
