I painted this promised a painting to a friend a long time ago. It's funny with artists like me. The longer you wait, the better the painting you get will be. I would have never been able to paint like this at the time I did promise the painting. But waiting forever is probably still a bad idea. d:

Aw I really like this ;w; The little details especially. The glasses pressing the hair down, the piercings, the details in the claws and nose, and the collar's charm sinking into the fur. All amazing <3
For critique, perhaps the shading's contrast on the cream markings on the nose is a bit too drastic? And it seems the glasses on the farthest side are tilted a little too far down to be lined up properly, even though the head is tilted. I hope that makes sense ;w; I really love this piece and there's not much else I could contribute to critique, and only hope that what little critique I've provided can help you in the future <3
