I've always loved this picture--especially since the cougar is one of my animal totems
I didn't know if you knew or not, but someone got an image very similar to this one as a tattoo: [link]
I absolutely adore this. It shows Cougars infinate wisdom and guidence. I love your work. The attention to detail is phenominal! Cougar seems to say...Now.....have you learned what was needful? Cougar is just one of my spirit guides. along with Heron, Dragonfly and Redtail. You are truly blessed with talent, kyote!
The eye is what really draws me in. I like how you portrayed the roundness and realness of what that angle would appear like. I also like the perfectly round feel of the paws.
This is really nice. You should think about designing some medicine cards, or try to sell some of your artwork like this one to be used on medicine cards. It would look really nice. the cougar, I believe, symbolizes leadership in native american traditions. very cool!
Ah! Cougars are very beautiful, to me. On most "what animal are you?" quizzes that's what I get. Also, according to another online quiz, the tarot card that represents me is "The Moon" card. Heh, enough about my obsession with online quizes! This is beautiful! I love the powerful paw and tail and the eye looks perfect! I can even see little swirlies in the sky! Those give it a lovely, yet subtle effect. You are so great at drawing this stuff!

I really like your art. This picture is no exception. The effect with the moon is awesome and of course I love the kitty. I'm adding it to my slowly growing collection of favorites.
Just wondering.. I love the way you did the 'transparency' effect, if I may call it so, but I don't get how, (or why) you put that range of colors on the cape. Simply to add to the effect, or some other reason?
Really lovely. The soft colors, the magical atmosphere, the interesting composistion and the realistic detail make this one of my favorites. I really love this sort of folklorish, fantasy art.
- another glorious piece of work, you're always well worth taking time over and having a close study of the full-view, to see the degree of detail you've worked into these pictures - astounding art...
this is a beautiful illustration. very interesting in it's use of symbolism, such as the feathers or the phases of the moon. nice touches to the piece as well. the textures and colors are amazing. very nice work. this would make an excellent print.
Amazing! The shading, the night colors, the figure, the pose! And the thousands of tiny circles and crosshatch-like lines in the sky!! I have see nobody who spends as much time on detail as you. It really pays off!

Great job, I like the effects of the moon and the transparent tapestry, how you can still see the horizon through it.
Love it!
