Oil Painting. I did this in college as part of my Senior project.Used a real cat skull as a reference.
The painting is approximately 6 ft by 4 ft.

Exactly the angle I've been looking for! This will be the perfect reference for a commission I'm doing! Thanks!

I'm genuinely confused--if you don't have access to a real cat skull, why wouldn't you use a photo reference (you can always check out my stock account for at least one) or a resource like Digimorph (a website that contains interactive 3-d scans of animal skulls)?
Either a photo or a 3-d scan would be much more accurate as a reference.
Also, I'm not comfortable with someone using my painting as a reference for their own commissioned work. I'm really not trying to be mean--it's just that there are better resources out there, for a number of reasons.

Great job with the colours!
I love me some skulls 
I also have 2 (and a half) deer skulls, and a closet full of bones that I've found. I have a habit of finding bones so frequently that I scare people ;o;

Hey have I commented on your work before? hmmmmmmm. Anyway you have an interesting gallery and I have been popping in to see your gallery every now and again....but for some reason (don't know why) haven't devwatched you so I will.
This is an excellent painting, I just love the blue background, it contrasts so nicely with the skull and makes it really jump out at you.
Anyone that does not view this painting in full-view is doing themselves a huge diservice. This must be seen in all it's glory. the different shades and tones on the skull are phenomenal and give me the impression of a freshly decayed skull (or skinned...lol 
I am also very impressed with the teeth, although the whole skull looks pretty real, the teeth are perfect.
Gorgeous work!
