Whoah. Veeery nice!
I'm lovin the pose, and the overall look of the char is wonderful.
I love the feral looking paws. I can never seem to get em to look like that when I want to, they either look too lanky, or too wierd.
And your watercolor technique is awsome. I still would like to learn, and I'm in a good position to do so. Any pointers?

Hmmm, pointers on watercolor. Well, for this, and the other pieces I uploaded, I was using a very unusual method. The old women at the watercolor association might have a stroke if they saw XD Cardstock does not hold up to pooling of the paint, and soaks in water quickly, so I used a small brush with a minimal amount of paint and would lay down little strokes. It came out looking and behaving a lot like marker.
I had to do it that way because of the paper, but I like traditional watercoloring technique, too. Watercolor is such an unusual, nonintuitive way of painting, it's probably good to get a book on it. Just picking up a brush and going at it won't give very good results, and can be very discouraging.

"Cardstock does not hold up to pooling of the paint, and soaks in water quickly, so I used a small brush with a minimal amount of paint and would lay down little strokes.

Though it would probably be a lot cheaper to just use the markers I already have to achieve the same results. If I want to use watercolors, I'd like it to look as... er, watercolory as possible. X3;
"it's probably good to get a book on it. Just picking up a brush and going at it won't give very good results, and can be very discouraging." ~ Ahah! Good. That's what a lot of people at my work told me. They have voiced their own opinions and many have said that a guide will do ya wonders. But it's always good to get the thoughts of others as well.
I do appreciate you taking the time to answer my kawestions :3
