Kei-Acedera: what shall I say, it`s an honor to hear this from you; especially your work and Bobby Chius pictures inspired me for this scene
your characters always show so much personality and life, I guess I borrowed some of the magic from you 
Jassar: haha man I had the hole day this picture in my head of you and your cat fighting^^
guess the kitten knows not to mess with an orc
karko: thats a big compliment, thank you...Im not sure if I deserve it yet but I`ll work on my skills until I do^^

), only a comment. Again, awesome work my friend!! Cheers!!

Wow! this is an incredible work! I like everything about it, especially your dramatic
lighting, softness of your brush and color palette!
Excellent piece of work, Mathias!

Hey nice work so far, i would say the light on the sugarcup is a bit off, the pink sweets don’t work so well with the rest, and the bunny still needs perspective ajustment.
Any ways you’re going ftw.

I come very late in here and so I just discovered your piece. That’s so so funny !
Personally, I like the light and the orc’s faces ! The best thing of the picture (for me) is the way the one on the right is holding his cup ! So delicately… 
I must confess that I’m not disturbed by the pink sweets, 'cause it remind the games of little girls… We are almost at tea time between Alice and the madhatter in Alice in Wonderland. Visually, I don’t see anything wrong with it but it is only my feeling !
I look forward seing the final piece, with the way you will handled the soft toys and dolls on the corners !

hey Ferx, thx for your comment
I also like the old cookie plate quite much, but this new one symbolizes this petty bourgeois (awefull term, if someone knows a better one please tell me^^) lifestyle/teaparty thing much better imo
varma, olive2d, mosena, Nemesix: thx guys, this pushes me over the last meters in this race
Chrysale: thx man, Im glad you like it (even its not the only teaparty in the competition as far as I`ve seen…well, teapartys4ever^^)
I also like what these pinkish “Punschkrapferl” stand for
kazziu: thx for your crits man, Im always open for that but could you prezise your point a bit, you have to keep in mind that Im looking at this piece far too long already
especially the perspective problem with the bunny…
at least I can just say things are going well, the next update I`ll do will be the finished pic…should come in the next days I hope
cheers,
Mathias

Looks great, Mathias! Congratulations on finishing! All of the areas that I was still wondering about have been very nicely refined… tha armor, the hands, the ceramic, the paws and other details on that lower kitten… And lots of really nice other details too, like the kitten playing with the hair, the daisies in the upper left, nice metallic texture accents on the servingware… I still miss the original doll from the lower right with her happy eyes - you said you’d put her back in! - but aside from that, no complaints here. Didn’t you say you were off to Japan now or somehting like that? Welll have a great trip, and rest easy knowing you’ve finished a great piece!
