Thanks! Fur seems to be one of those things that you can never fully learn how to draw. Light hitting small strands is hard to reproduce.

Thank you! I do like how the fur turned out, but like someone said earlier, the eyes were a bother for me. - I need a better tablet with pressure sensitivity to achieve greater detail.

That's how I like dogs. I think they are great as long as they belong to someone else. It's too much work for me personally; like having a little kid who never grows up.

Yeah, I'm a cat and horse person, but have found myself working at dog daycares with 40+ dogs barking and jumping and eating each other... glad it was part time and I could just walk away from them all at the end of my shift. I do own an Irish Wolfhound cross that practically takes care of himself though. I love him because he causes me no grief.
You just have to get the right dog. I like the lazy dogs, lazy like mee.

Yeah I saw your gallery. I have had a Manx cat before. My favorite cat i ever had was a persian, but you really shouldn't let them outside. They have some really cool breeds now that weren't around when I was a kid; like the rag doll. I was around horses also from time to time when I was growing up. As far as art is concerned I like the short haired eastern breeds of cats and the small slender breed of horses. The most beautiful painting I ever saw was of a Chinese woman sitting on a chair outside in a garden. She had huge eyes out of proportion to her face and flawless skin and a slender cat sitting up in her lap and his eyes were equally out sized. The limited edition print sold for 5 figures and the original sold for 6 figures. That's when I decided to try and depict an altered reality in my future art; sort of an enhanced beauty. After all, a camera can capture what we see, but what about what we would like to see?
