I uploaded the similar picture long time ago but my girlfriend forced me to remaster my work (it is her cat so I can understand her ). It is one of my very first cat-picture I´ve ever made and honestly it is one of my most powerful works... (So powerful that it was repainted very often by a strange Chinese guy named "Wang Long" and a German gallery owner sold it on ebay... I informed the gallery owner, that this picture is MY work and now it will be never sold on ebay again *hopefully...*!).
This picture is NO photo manipulation (I just masked the background and take a little color correction)! Shirley (the model) has her own sofa which looks similar to the families sofa and she loves it and sleeps on it as often as she can . So I was able to take that "snapshot". If there is any interest in the original picture let me know and I´ll put it in my scraps.
The raw Picture in my Scrapbook:
Infos Name: Shirley Location: My girlfriends family (Livingroom) Gender: Princess
