Cats are wonderful creatures both adorable, mysterious and naturally inquisitive. I'd not featured a cat in a piece of work as yet and thought it was about time. Initially I wasn't sure whether I was going to do a standard piece of photography or some digital art. In the end digital art won the day and this is the end result. The crop is deliberate. Too many photos of cats go for the whole body or whole face. Here I've focussed tightly on the cats eyes. The ears would have been a distraction and because I've not given them prominence I feel the cat's eyes really stand out. The cat was naturally grey/silver and I wanted to use another colour that complimented this. I liked purple and think this gave the cat an air of mystery. I then appiled a range of artistic techniques to complete the image.
