Wizards Cat

A wizardly feline intended for a book cover, but also just another experiment with pet portraiture. Every piece of fur gives the cat it's personality, and overall it's a homage to pulp fantasy of the 80's.

Part of a series of dragons with bird-like influences, this one taking the most direct inspiration from a barn owl. It was a challenge to configure a saurian snout to an owl's head. Manages an impressive blend of being cute but slightly threatening too.
