Toby

Yay, it's finally finished! This took something like 14 hours... I'm not entirely sure, I really don't keep track of the time I spend on it. Basically, two entire evenings and nights. Anyone interested in a WIP shot of this can see it here with a difference of about six hours worth of work.

I'm pretty happy with this one, there are still some elements which I just don't know enough to know how to fix. But overall, it looks very much like my Toby-kitty. I was worried that it would come out looking cheesy, but it didn't, so life is good. It was a bit of a challenge to do, since Toby wouldn't sit still for that long, and the only good quality photo I had of him was on the computer. So I had to keep looking back and forth between my computer screen, my easel and the cat.

My mother comes home tomorrow, I finished it just in time!

Edit: Sorry, the original upload just didn't look enough like the original. Did some cleanup and it's now looking much better.
