Description This is for the winner of my Pokemon Guessing Contest, ~raincloudriot . The Pokemon Clues were as follows:

So here are the clues:
It is in the first generation
Not only is it common, but its one of the most popular Pokemon in the series.
Its just over 1 foot tall
And last clue, its based off a common Japanese legend who's statues are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers fortune and good luck.

~raincloudriot was able to guess that the Pokemon was Meowth!!! Good job!

For her sketch commission, she asked me to do a very emotional picture of her with her kitty Angel, who has passed away. As most of you know, I have recently lost my beloved pet hamster, so I really felt for the pain that ~raincloudriot 's feeling. I wanted to depict a moment she and Angel would have shared in his lifetime. A tender one where she holds him, and by just that one action, he brightens her entire day. I also wanted to depict the love that a someone and their pet can have for each other.
In a way, this helped me with my grieving process. Even though both Angel and Winnie are gone, those simple memories that we shared with them, and the love that we had for them, makes it all worth it in the end. We'll always have those memories, and no matter what happens, no one or nothing can take that away from us.
So rest in Peace to Angel. He will always be remembered and loved.

~raincloudriot , I have edited the sketch three ways as you can see above. If you could choose your favorite, I'll make that the only one shown. Thanks! I really hope you like it.

I like your more realistic work, and I love how this is sort of cartoony but still realistic. Looks lovely, the cat looks so cute!!

Ps: I'm just wondering if you'd be able to draw a portrait of me? If not, totally fine!! I'm just interested in what people see me as. (and your portraits are gorgeous!!)

Awww, this is so cute. I'm such a sucker for cats. =^w^=

One thing you might want to watch out for is pressing too hard on the paper (or the one on top). Here, you can see the indents near the cat's tail and her left arm. Start light and go darker when you're sure about the line.

I love this scene it's so precious, aww but this makes me miss my own little kitties....

Still I love the tender expression on her expression and the delicate, yet firm way she is holding on to her cat. I also love how fluffy the cat is!

Its a very touching picture and certainly shows an owners love for their cat. I love the left arm and how its in proportion but the right hand does look a little off aside from that awesome pic

I love how you've drawn the cat here - the fur actually looks, well, furry, but without relying on any kind of photorealism. I love the look in the girl's eyes.

I like this but it could use a lot more shading. Some contrast in the shading would really make this stand out too.

This is so cute! <3 I just love the little kitten.~
But when I read the story..I almost cried. D: I just lost my dog recently..T___T Otis..I miss him so much.~

The moment you captured here made me smile.. The emotion in her eyes is really great.

Yeah, me too. Especially now that I've moved out. Winnie was supposed to be the only one I could take with me. But I know that she's with me in spirit, as tacky as that sounds.

Very nice picture, you really get a sense of emotion and understanding in the picture.

Considering the nature and message behind the piece I don't want to come across as nit picky but I can see a few anatomy mistakes. The arm underneath the cat seems to be bent at an awkward angle. Like the wrist is the elbow.

I like the shading of the work, especially the hair

Thank you! I agree with what you said. Thanks for being specific! I actually appreciate it, unlike some people on deviantart! [link]
The only thing I don't like is when people tell me its not right but don't tell me why.
"This is not very good."
"Oh, okay. Would you mind telling me how I can improve?"
"Idk. It just looks weird."
"Oh. Thanks......
