My latest pet portrait. This is Alexander, a plump ball of fur that has a propensity for running into glass doors.

Very nice! This caught my attention in the recent uploads page. The shading and strokes of the fur is very realistic. The only problem I have is the top of the right eye... perhaps you could smooth it out a bit so its not so flat compared to the eye 'n fur. Or maybe add a little bit of darker or lighter color if it exists there. Otherwise I like this a lot.

Yeh, mebbe a li'l shadow (just below the eyelid/brow) on the eye'd help it not be such a sharp edge.

Beautiful, beautiful colors...so soft and fluffy! (Huggle)

It's not often I see acrylics manage fur so soft. :O
