Desmond Kitty Art

"Desmond" ( above )
Desmond Maggie Layout Sketch ( below)

I really like Desmond's artwork. When I first saw the kitty photo I was not sure he would have enough personality to be a good portrait, but with those intense eyes and that freckled nose how could I miss. There is nothing wrong with cute after all. You can see from the layout sketch of Maggie & Desmond that I have a long way to go before I figure out how they will work together.

    Hi,
    I'm Desmond's mommy and I wanted to let you know how awesome I think your work is so far. I was floored when I saw it, Desmond looks so real. I think you captured her adorableness perfectly. You have great talent.

    P.S.-- Desmond is actually a girl. Weird, I know! When we first found her we thought she was male, so thus the name. Then when we learned she was female,the name had already stuck and we kept it.

    I love your artwork. As a Pit Bull owner myself, I was really excited to hear "Maggie" won the contest for Petsmart. I came to look at your work. Very nice.

    I did want to comment that it looks like Maggie is "starring" down the cat with her downward eyebrows. She looks a little scary.

    Keep up the great work. We're excited to show off your artwork with our pit bull community once you're all done.
