With a picture instead of a scan, and with a slightly fancier base (a lot of CMoN folks don't like the 'broccoli' bases), I think this would be scoring a point or so higher. I think your painting here is so naturalistic that it's being underrated. The cat looks great, her skin is very nice, and that's one of the most natural looking blondes I've seen on a mini. It looks like there's a sort of subtle texture to the dress, I'm wondering how you did that?
