Description
In this world you triedNot leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
Now I know why.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're ok.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go on.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.
Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I will love you
Until the end of time.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.
All of my memories....

This is my first critique ever, so please don't take me too seriously. ^_^
First off, I'd like to say that I really love this cat's eyes! They are very expressive and look realistic enough to fit the character, but not too much so that they look out of place. I could say the same for the tears, the fact that I don't think cats can cry notwithstanding. It adds nice emotion to the picture.
I also really like the shading on the cat; the texture gives it an almost semi-realistic sort of effect, making you sense that fur is visible, but also that this should have more a cartoon-y effect. I think the shading was done very nicely and in all the right places.
However, there are always things to be improved upon. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
First, I think the back leg could have been lightened up a bit at the top depending on the light source. Also, I think it's twilight, right? I think the sky could have been darkened a little and could have used a few more shades, possibly orange, some yellow, maybe even red or a richer purple. Taking this into consideration, I would have added just a touch more color into the hues used for the cat's shading, as well done as it is. As long as I'm going here, the grass might have used a bit more variance and shading too, along with the soil. Perhaps you could have added a few stray clumps of grass in the soil too? It looks like the tall grass just stops right in a ring, but I like how you added some grass blades in the foreground to make it look like you're peering through.
As far as anatomy goes, I think you did a pretty good job on making it both realistic and cartoon-y. The paws looks fine and I love the tail and face, though it looks like the muzzle is turned to the right slightly while the face is turned to the left more. Maybe it's just me being nit-picky, though.
I think the back and back leg are a little disproportionate. It looks like the cat has hunched its shoulders, but if so, the shoulder blades would be visible up behind the neck. The cat's backbone will curve up more towards the middle of the back, providing a smooth curve; it looks like yours goes up at the shoulders, comes down a little, and rises at the back legs. Sorry if this bit is a little less comprehensible, here's a link so you see what I mean: [link]
Lastly, the only other flaw I can see is the hind leg. It just looks too pointy to me, because if you can see, it looks triangular. Cats legs are more round, like [link]
That's really it, sorry if this is really long Rouge. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a⦠" width="19" height="19" alt="

Thanks so much for the crit! I see what you mean about the back + legs, I'll be sure to fix that next time C8
I'll try darkening the sky abit, it does look a tad bit light C:
It was supposed to be pink-ish, or atleast that's how the sky was described in the story XD
Thanks so much for the critique, it'll definitely help me! 8D

Well this is cool xD
Ok, my first critique! Before I start I woul like to clear up something. I have dealt with issues in the past with critiques, some saying I have no idea how to, which I do. So, either ignore this or accept it ^^

-I love the colouring first of all, its pastey, which makes it look very nice.
-The expression sends a lot of sadness through this picture, along with the enviorment, well done with that.
_I like how the focus is on the cat, and everything in the front, the grass, in this case, is all blurry. Very nice effect
.:Negitive:.
-Im not too sure what time of day this is, but if its around twilight or around when the sun sets, I think it should maybe be a light tint of oranges and reds, and maybe make the sky more darker. You can look at some pictures on google images to see what I mean.
- The grass seems like its all just one colour, maybe make some darker brown grass blades, and more highlights/shadows.
-Add a bit more texture in the soil the cat is lyying on, just to make it look more attracting and realistic ^^
Ok, I think thats enough picking on you xd
I love this picture so much, and you did an excellent job on it ^^

Ooh thanks for the critique!
It's supposed to be just after dusk, so I tinged the bottom pink... but I see what you mean about it looking a bit light.
I also see what you mean about the grass, but I don't htink I'll be able to fix it because I merged all the grass to one layer... XD (Why the heck I did that, I don't remember...)
Texture sounds like it'd really make the soil look cool! C8
Thanks so much!

I can't critique officially, but just a little note:
It looks amazing with the coloring! The only thing that looks a bit off is the whole body look a bit.. slanted and awkward. I'm not sure what pose you were trying to aim for, whether it be "curled in" or just lying there, but depending on what way, you might of want to make the body a bit longer. Also, the head is a little slanted. I'm not sure if I'm perceiving this right though..
Also, the front leg looks a little high. You've made the bone look kind of pointed. I would guess it would be a little more rounded c:
Otherwise, wonderful job :3

Thank you! Oh geez... I didn't realize her leg was so pointy until you pointed it out XD It looks a bit like her leg is broken... XD
I hope it looks a bit more rounded now XD
I couldn't go much further without ruining the shading, but it looks a bit better now c:
I see what you mean by her body looks a bit short... I was going for a half-curled pose but I made her body too short for the pose XD I don't think that's fixable with how I have the shading + colors, but i'll keep that in mind ofr next time I do a similar pose C;
Thanks so much for the crit! It'll really help me out C8

It looks fine now :3 very nice~
And it's fine. xD Minor detail, not that bad. It's a harder pose so.. but still, great job~
