Wow. Great colours, composition and mood. I don't fully understand the subject matter so I can't really comment on that, but it seems to have an interesting story behind it. Maybe it would be nice if you included a bit of description with these types of pictures? Or not. Up to you. Good job nonetheless.

Awesome. You really dish out the moody stuff lately. Love this one a lot. I do however have a few crits.

First off, lose the thick black border. It's distracting me as it is right now, especially since the "black" of the grassy hill in the foreground isn't as black as the border.
Second crit is that the drawn cats in the background shouldn't be so sharp and black but more like the music in the foreground. The cats simply look a bit too solidly drawn and due to that force my eyes onto them a bit too much.
Last crit is that the elongated brush shape works generally well in the image, but in the part of the topmost cat-drawing the yellowish big brush strokes just pop out too much, maybe soften those edges a bit more. So that's it with my nitpickery for today.

Apart from what I mentioned above the image is very very nice. I especially love the colors, the guy in the back and his chair and the bluish backlighting on the cat works very well for me. Great work, keep it up like this and I'll come back to your threads forever and ever.

Pete: Hey thanks man glad you like it. Yes it does have a story behind it, but I think it also works well enough on a simpler level... Just a kid and his cat or whatever abstract thing the cat is, separated by oceans or something, while he draws pictures of her and she sings to him. I hoped it would be a little more visually narrative, dont know if I put enough into it. Thanks much for the comments

Glitter: I updated the pic with those things fixed I hope. Thanks infinitely for the tips as always.

Thanks much eyewoo. Dunno if I see the humor but I'm glad you like it anyway.

I'm a cat person, so I see it as extremely sweet and charming.

I caught the visual narrative just fine without the explanation.

I agree about the black border, but only in its thickness. I think it gives a good edge to the work, but should be much thinner, more of a hint than a dominant object.

Really lovely sky colors.

Hey thanks a lot for the input sweetums. It's great to hear that people are liking this and my last one, they both mean a lot to me. I pared down the border a little, hopefully this is less distracting. Thanks again for the help.

In my opinion all the changes really helped. But on another note, am I the only one who gets a sad and melancholic vibe off this?
