Deviousness `ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More

Vision: It looks really nicely put together, with the foreground, backgrond and middle ground. Dunno what the middleground is called.
Originality: Gave you a lower score for this because I've seen a lot of art similar to this.
Technique: First, the water. Like I said before, it should be flat, or the reflection should be rippled. To ripple it, I would have used the little hand blender tool, and drag it over the reflection until it looks rippled enough.
Secondly, the shading. The sun is behind the cat, we should see some backlighting. Unless there is some random human lightbulb lighting up the front of the cat, there should be no light on the part of the cat we see. You've shaded it like the light was from above left. Also, since you linearted the cat, I would have linearted (is that a verb? lol) the trees, and the grass, and the river and the sun too.
Like I said before, add more sunsetty colors! And the color of the entire thing should be a bit darker, as the sun is half gone. So that means half the light or something around there.
And for the grass, where it meets the horizon, maybe have it blend into the grass better? What I mean is you probably put in a solid color the grass, then added the little uppy downy things (the individual grass). On the horizon, it looks a bit odd.
The sky should be blended a bit more too. it looks like a vector, while everything else is blended so nicely.
Impact: Very nice impact. I love the scars on the cat
I hope this will help you to improve!
