my only critique would be to create some contrast or feeling with a different back ground color besides the all the grey... something maybe in greens and mossy yellows.. or some cold stonish blues...

and also... you can add layers of soft hair like texture as well. Don't be afraid to take the detail and texture to the next level.

overall great painting!

Thanks everybody, I agree about the background been almost the same color as the cat, in fact I photoshop the image from two cat images since the main image didn´t had one ear , and add the background later for the reference image. I first though of using a pink color or something to give more contrast but was afraid of getting a more "artificial" feeling and after trying several colors I choose that one which came in one of the original images. Anyway, I´ll take that more into account in my next painting. Still need a lot of practice and learn how to give a realistic texture.

wanna sell it
Not really interested in selling since It is my 3rd oil painting and want to collect it and use it for showing in my studio. Thanks for the interest. I started learning oil as a back up in fast mixing color in the palette for helping me when tattooing but I discover a new passion, I hope I´ll keep progressing since this one is a step forward from my 2nd painting and my first painting.

amazing oil painting, u killed it !!

id have to disagree with crabink 100% and say this thing is near perfect. if he did a different color background it would destroy the balance of this painting. in this type of art, picking a background color comes from the colors used on the subject. usually its a midtone from the shadows casted on the subject. or a neutral color mixed from the colors u painted the subject with. the old masters and many amazing modern realism oil painters do this.read up on color balance and unity and also color gamuts. limiting ur color palate does wonders.

as far as tattoos go we throw some of these rules out the window so we can make things "pop" or stand the test of time better.
