Well done! This is a beautiful painting. Having the black cat against the dark background is an interesting move, but it works perfectly for this painting. You highlighted the cat well and the details are amazing, and the entire composition is just very well done. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work :)

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
You really have become an outstanding artist, this is a stunning work nearly black in black with such an accuracy of letting the animal stand out in perfection, even shining in its active position
fantastic detail work, the way he is entering the frame create the perfect movement so it seems he might run out of the frame
excellent contrast and lighting, super expressive portrait - fine work with a super initial impression even of not 100% finished
great job,

Cleo, this is a beautiful digital painting of the wonderful Melanistic cat caught in the headlights. I don't know how you do these digital paintings but your portrayal of light and shade is excellent and those eyes really pull the viewer in.
Excellent composition. Suzanne

Thank you very much for encouraging comments and your golden rating. I do those digital paintings in a special program which resembles the traditional tools. I paint similar to what I would do on a canvas, just that move those tools with my fingers on a pad. I don't think I could do it without my experience in oil painting.

Yes, I'm sure you need to have a sound knowledge of painting, which you do. Suzanne
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Aptly captured for the comp theme with fine feline features & textures.
Superb eye clarity.
Compact framing.
Okay, just leave it that way...
Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

Hi Cleo,
Love the beautiful sheen on the cat you created in this artwork. It looks totally natural. The intense look in the cat's eye make you wonder what caught the cat's eye. The detail of the fur is super! Very lifelike!
Fantastic job creating this fellow in stealth mode! :o) Helvi

The cat is caught in the headlight of a car. That causes the shine and the look of the eyes.
Comment from Joelgraphuchin
Wow...this is very expressive! Contrast of light and shade builds beautiful shape and dimension of the black cat. His eyes are excellently done.
Well done and thanks for sharing. ( I may be mistaken but you may check if this contest accepts digital painting)
