This is not my favorite of yours, but I'll comment here. Looking at all your work, I can see you know what you're doing. For the most part the ISOs look right and they're very cute and charming. I am just not a fan of all this texture. It is like you used a brush in opacity or dodge/burn! I don't think you need to worry too much about giving everything a texture, because then it all blends in like there is a carpet over it all. I know you mentioned you're working on reducing colors... so I look forward to seeing some newer work from you :)

I like certain elements of this, but not necesserily together. Some of the styles clash. Hope the castle is updated for real, because that stands out the most.. But I'd say it's between the smoothly shaded sand, to the highly visible dithering in the sky, and the clouds that just look pasted on. I wish they'd feel like more a part of the sky. I like the feel of were it's heading though.

I think this is def one of my favorite works of yours. I'm enjoying your colors and shading style. Only comment, and yes I know you're done, is the one people made that it looks a bit bear-ish. I think it's due to the light yellow circle (his lighter fur) Many cats have that come up to a point instead of be circl-ish. Maybe it would have helped, maybe not. Doesn't stop me from loving it :)
