This is a gift for my good friend . I'm proud to say that while it has its mistakes (like the way the neck connects to the head), it's my best piece to date. I hope you like it, Robert! Here's your Geoffroy's Cat girl.

I think my scanner knew that this piece was special to me. For once, this is darned near true to the original. I'd say, the only real differences are that the shading of the moss she's sitting on and the farthest trees is less smooth. The scanner didn't like the Warm Grey 90%, I take it. Some of the other shading isn't quite as smooth as it is in person but still looks alright.

I'm not really sure what else to say, other than that I learned some new tricks, and I'm really pleased with the result. One of the tricks I learned is kind of a "color floating" thing, where I can tweak values to be lighter (rather than just blending things from the next lightest color) and also fill in for dying markers without altering the color. I can use a healthy marker in place of a half-dead one yet still get the dying one's color at full saturation. It's really hard to explain but trust me, it works. The scanner saw through my trick on some of the greens, though, so the substitute color shows in some places. Just means some transitions are a bit less subtle as you guys see this.

Now that I have a new trick or two up my sleeve, who knows what I'll do next! Man, I love being a marker artist.
