Oh, GREAT! So good to see you keep posting here again! I love this one. Especially the 'forest-feel' about it... A very nice atmosphere. And the slightly cartoonic look of you... Well, everything is just great. +10

So that was you! Or someone from your sisterhood .... Once I was lost in the forest - it was early morning and I lost the path. Then I have seen someone .... ... it was hard to describe, because I haven't seen the face. Neither I wasn't sure if it was big cat or bear or something else. I didn't have good view and was scared. Only thing I am sure is that raider looks similar, but wear different suit and longer hear than on the picture. Yes, I was quick enough and have taken photo , but I won't show it to you because I am affraid. .... d....d ... does Azrael eat photographers ?

Very Alice in wonderland amazing

kate  09/01/05 @456

It's impossible not be in love with this piece. I saw it in dA and it's one of my favourite works around there. Well, first of all I love cats, then you're with such an happy and funny expression, and all together the result is great! The magic about this work make us dream... 9/9

zanzibar  09/01/05 @471

nice details, beautiful feeling... quite big foot...

curlyhair  09/01/05 @488

I' m fond of this one Btw I've spent a lot of time in your site.Very interesting place 10+

trevorm  09/01/05 @492

Another great piece. Love the exaggerated proportions, simulated DOF, beautiful color choice...and are those daisys (and other flowers?) that appear very faintly throughout the painting? Anyway, super duper terrific fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

j4m3sb0nd  09/01/05 @495

Hey yeah, another fantastic painting by Enayla! I saw this one deviantart, i am glad you posted it here now, it is truly great. & the close ups are just delightful! You can really see the sense of expression in the characters, it really shows the joy you have felt magnificently. I cannot really critique anything, even if it is less complex than your other works, i am lost dreamingly in it. & tha you have conveyed your expressions well in it, even if i did have something to critique, it would be null considering the success of expression the picture. Well done!

Enayla  09/01/05 @498

Thank you, guys It's so difficult for me to just let go of what things are SUPPOSED to look like and just paint them like I feel like painting them, but I had so much fun doing it. I'm doubly thrilled to hear that this piece is appreciated as it's very personal to me, a lot of 'me' in it. And yea, those are flowers overlapping the forest Not a lot of people manage to actually spot them, but they're visible in some places. Most visibly around the cat's tail and also further up, above the dragonfly. I've overlapped a crappy flower-sketch I had done previously and decided to throw away, for added texture and 'feel' to it and I liked the faint glimpses of it showing through so much I decided not to decrease opacity like I might otherwise have had. The overlapping paintings tecnique is awesome for texture work. I learned it from Craig Mullins (also known as 'God', haha) back in the days.

CalinnVojnngat  09/01/05 @505

In this one Azrael is too cute ! Wonderful eye I like so much the reality of the shadow on your skin and the upper part of the picture. Your expression is fantastic too happy ! Great work again +9/10

vprivat  09/01/05 @528

OMG.... AMAZING! +10

LuxemburgrQueen  09/01/05 @531

strange work from you Linda ^^ But I like Azrael, your gothic garfield cat Nice one. +9/9, of course

Dax  09/01/05 @620

Simply unique!

bellas  09/01/05 @621

colors look well and idea are cool, i love flowers but right woods add noise to composition i think. I miss depth as always turn like a puzzle for this reason.

ARTOONATOR  09/01/05 @638

It's actually crucial for your developement as an artiste to let go sometimes. In this case, a lot of parts show new possibilities for next artworks. Am I right, did you use a stamping technique for the leaves, and photo manipulation for the background? Or is your technique just 'that complex'? Anyway, great work, fun piece.

acida  09/01/05 @657

i really liked this one, because it was really different from your usual and it's funny/cute. the girl looks really happy with her cat, both seem happy.

slaphapy5  09/01/05 @668

wow that's such a fun portrait. awesome work as usual. +10 ~slap

Fooxoo  09/01/05 @676

I love that cat. He s got the coolest eyes. Nice, loose painting, fun to look at, I really like the colour scheme. The cartoonish you looks very cute. I bet you had fun in the woods. One of the funniest self-portraits I think I d like a little bit more of roundness for the cat, and a little bit of heviness for you, so you would be sitting more firmly on the cat, well in case you re floating above the cat a bit. Very cool textures. Can I borrow your wings? They re adorable. Good job. +8

blackholes  09/01/05 @712

how the hell i missed this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn! and yeah stop being modest!!! YOU ARE A KILLER ON THIS DEPT, INFACT ON THE WHOLE GFX DEPT !!!!!!!!!! I think ON THE WHOLE WORLD if that's possible!!!

Taintra  09/02/05 @426

impressive.

Pixelbrush  09/02/05 @730

Your skill to use colors amazes me every time. I already faved this at da. Full points. That's pretty much all I can say.

travelin  09/03/05 @230

this is fantastic. it's great!! I love it.

cypherx  09/03/05 @267

it's a great painting, but in the upper righthand corner, you did manage to forget a clip of the photo you used for the bg. Even though you do photo manips for the bgs and whatnot, you're still a rockin good artist also, there's something wrong with the left arm. Where it meets the right arm and goes behind it, something weird happens

Diane  09/03/05 @397

Excellent as always, no more to say! +10 Thanks for posting here

BaronImpossible  09/03/05 @662

This is great. I actually like it better than "Spoiled". It's more spontaneous and conveys real emotion even though it's a fantasy setting. The strange proportions of the cat work brilliantly and the texturing just adds to the effect. I won't comment on your own proportions as for all I know you might have flipper-feet and I don't want to offend +10

siffert  09/04/05 @055

Great work!

Fizzii  09/04/05 @276

Love the emotion. The atmosphere and mood is beautifully captured

sLy  09/04/05 @698

Yvaine  09/04/05 @778

OH LINDA!!! This is so cute!!! I love Azrael....or how you draw him to be, very sweet! I really like the dragonfly as well though, it looks so....ethereal if you know what I mean. Well done!

Foster  09/04/05 @926

RANCHDUDE  09/22/05 @819

Fantastic, gotta love people who love cats. Mine makes me wish I could ride around on him like your piece!

dancinwthmyse1f  09/22/05 @939

I'd have to say that this is one of my favs of the work I've seen you do, it just has so much personality to it, the way the kitty has its paw up, it reminds me of one of the creatures from "Where the Wild Things Are"...

Nova  09/30/05 @370

I think this is your best. You must do some more works a little different from what you usually do (maybe too monotematic, anyway you have unique and superb skills). Good work

JeeCie  09/30/05 @892

well, there isn't a 'drool' smiley available, but it would fit perfectly here... man i really, really, REALLY like this one!!! i like the left-front foot of azrael, it;s somekind of funny way of moving, stepping at a cartoonish (almost like the elephants in disney's jungle book, if you know what I mean) kind of way!!! respect for this one!!! -J-

Hklevjer  10/06/05 @019

I'm not going to sleep tonight (9/9)

MagnifiChe  10/10/05 @016

The sparkling in your eyes reveals the whole emotional bagage of the piece. Kind of a fairy-tale-snapshot. If you know what I mean. Great work.

mirkomkb  10/11/05 @285

wonderful work, tones and mood is perfect for the idea

PtitBen  10/27/05 @552

Linda, this is utterly splendid! It is so magical and feels so alive! It is clear that you have strong feeling involvment in this picture! But for now, I'll stay silent as there are no words to explaine the pleasure I feel by watching this picture

bluewaterkidd  01/07/06 @184

I love the large wide eyes of the cat and the expression on your face and the toes! I have the same monkey feet I feel like you've captured a moment and epressed it beautifully and clearly... i grew up with 13 cats and i think i know what you as well as your cat were feeling those summer days. For a moment you feel live in a different world... anyhow ... this is awesome... my hat is off to you.

mitwo  02/16/06 @275

dopepope  03/09/06 @981

Your entire body of work is mesmerising. Inspirational to say the least. I caught some of these on CGnetowrks. It's great to see more.

shambler  03/13/06 @220

you know people will contradict me on this one but I think that from all your works this is the best thing I've seen from you. I like that loose style that you have given to the characters.
