Thank you so much for your generous review of my work. You're right. I used certain colors and blending techniques to achieve a realistic effect and capture the personality of the subject. Thanks again for your review.

I give this points for capturing a lot of "kitty soul"!
I also think the quilt and ball of yarn are very realistic. I like the colors and careful detail. My admiration! Thanks for sharing... Daphne Oberon

Very nice intriguing presentation you have created of a portrait of your friend's beloved cat. I like the overall effort you have put into it with a realistic drawing and coloring of it. The shading is excellent, depth is great and coloring is excellent. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for your great review of my work. I put in a considerable amount of time and effort into creating this portrait. My choice of colors to offset the cat's black fur helped to give the portrait a dynamic and realistic feel. Thanks again for your review.

Thank you so much for your generous review of my work. I took great care to render the texture of subject's fur and other objects in the portrait just right. It took a while but it was worth it. Thanks again for your review and well wishes in the competition.

Salem is a cute little kitten and you made a wonderful piece of art depicting him. I like the black cat in contrast to some varied and bright colors and patterns around the cat. The green eyes are telling. Great job showing the creased parts of blanket where cat is sitting.

Salem looks to reside in the lap of luxury. Great title by the way. Great rendering too of the silk fur expressive eyes. The lounge looks plush with that comfy bed. Very well done!

When I saw this cat I knew I had to do her portrait. It took some time to achieve a realistic look to the piece. Thank you for noticing. I agree the name is quite catchy. Thanks for your great review of my work.
