Hi all, Decided to attempt the weekly challenge for the first time! Its a combination of "Let the cat out of the bag" and "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" Comments & criticisms welcome!  |

@lollige: Thanks I've having trouble with this cat, the style doesn't fit, and he has no 'character' :S I'd like to make him mischievous instead of angry but the expression alludes me...  |

He definitely does have character! However, it is more of a wolf. all paws could be more catish, and he needs a chin

Scrapped the old cat, looked too much like a gremlin. Here's the new concept... Any suggestions? :)  |

| I think you should show some sort of indication that the cat threw the stone, like having his arm swooping down. Right now it just looks like a random cat. Nice art btw! |

| Maybe you can make his tail be what threw the rock? Would add to the effect and be easy to manage. :) |

Looks great! The animals are cool. But yes, I'm afraid it can't be understood that the cat threw the stone. You have a persp issue on the wall: it can't be seen from above, only either horizontally or from below, from the dog's p o v. The wall dithering is too even, try to find a more irregular pattern to make a nice texture. And the dog dithering too. |

Reworking the wall (unfinished!), and have modified most of the dithering. Added some action lines for the cat's tail too... Is this going in the right direction? :)  |

I think I like the other cat better. It's more mischievious looking, plus it looks more like it's throwing stones...lol ------------- |
