Description I was doing this around the same time as this one but I think midterms happened and I got distracted. I've been a little down lately and wanted to finish older art that I never completed - always makes me feel good.

I definitely have not drawn a flat-faced cat before and that was just a really crazy adjustment. XD Especially since it's such a tiny difference. Means I need to draw different things I guess. :v Grey is a hard colour to get when you have no black or white.

Probably one of my favourite characters. ^_^

Thank! Glad we see her similarly. That's always satisfying as an artist.

I'm not sure I've seen a cat with quite that eye-to-nose ratio and placement before, it seems subtly off... and yet.. it looks so RIGHT too.. can I see the reference if you used one?

It was a while ago, but I think I used something similar to this: [link] or this [link]

Looking at them again I think I drew the nose too low actually. o_O Haven't seen many flat-faced cats in real life, to be honest.

if the nose was any higher it'd be right between the eyes XD
*looks at pics* oh wow... flat-faced cats are hilarious-looking. the nose IS higher.

But yeah the nose is probably still too wide, and the ears too far from the eyes..
I only criticize because this looks SO GOOD.. little things like that sort of stand out.. but clearly there's a WIDE range of cat-features.

Lol cats definitely vary like crazy. Her head is meant to be tilted down slightly, but the forehead is a bit too high even so. Her character is a bit gross so I tried to capture that too. Thanks for the feedback of course - can't get better without it. :>
