Feral Cat as Totem

(full view, of course)

Phew! I have wanted to redo this illustration for such a long time, and I must say I'm finally happy with the results. I ended up using my own cat (who was actually bred from feral parents) as a reference, and changed the colouring to the more standard brown tabby.

So, domestic cats! I love them. Anyway, in the deck they represent personal power, standing up for yourself, and self-worth and self-importance, among other things. The link is here:

I like the curl mark behind its ear. That catches my attention the most.

yeah i thought about colours with this one for a while, but eventually I settled on this colour scheme and really like it. pale-olivey greens FTW!
