When I was born, an old witch tried to make me into a vessel for an old cat demon.
Over time these marks have slowly appeared and become bared to the world. My family disowned me for them.
This mark on my back, these whiskers, this tail, it's my burden. It is my cross to bear. What's yours?

I was unsure of whatever or not I should put text on the final image. I like the effect, but, I'm not sure if it's a good idea. So there are two versions. This one and the one without text.

SO! I was trying to do something without lines. Because sometimes I look at my art and for kicks I make the lines go away. Then I'm like, "OH! If only I spent a few more hours fixing this up, I could do it without the lines!" but since I'm already tired of the image, I don't do so. I'm not one to complain about length of time to complete a work, but my laziness always kicks in an I get tired of looking at it. This time, with some ideas from painting at my summer internship, I thought to start coloring with the idea of not including lines in the final product.

For a first time (okay, well, second. But I discount the first because it looked...for lack of a better and less offensive term, horrible) I think it came out well. BUT feel free to disagree. I can't stop you from having your own opinion about the matter.

When looking at the last WIP you can tell that I added the tail.

Oh, and many thanks to [link] for his wonderful tutorial on water, which allowed me to make the background I envisioned.

Look at the version without the text for less technical and more fantasy explanation.

My Watermark is there. I would suggest no stealing. It would look silly when you get caught.
