This is another redo of an older drawing from 2008/2009. The title comes from the black cat that is hidden in the image - even though the cat has almost nothing to do with either the subject itself or the story it illustrates. For a while I used to hide Milton, my black cat (see user icon) in all my drawings. He's hidden on various pages in the story prologue as well. The gimmick was that clicking him would bring up a "Secret Life of Milton" cartoon.

Lol, I love your cat's name, it seems so..hmm..distinguished! As for the drawing itself I like it! Only thing I'd point out is the mountains seem a little too soft imo and the hand further away seems to be attached wrong..BUT that could be my eyes. XD..Either way I like the drawing. =P

Thanks :D I think you may be right about the mountains... perhaps a bit more crispness. I'm trying to get the fade into the distance effect.

I am pretty sure the hand is attached correctly. Her arm is swung back, and her wrist further so. Her thumb, therefore, it on the "outside" as opposed to closer to her body. Now that I actually stood in the pose, my wrist is sore :P Perhaps it's not a natural pose... but it looked right in my head.
