Hi friends!
Happy New Year all of you!
Yule cat - one of the mystical symbols of the pagan holiday Yule (Winter Solstice)
I always wanted to portray this magic crerature.

Sketch
(started to drawing in Paint Tool SAI 2)

Color palette

Steps
Base colors

Figure of Yule Cat

Housed, trees and a moon

A clouds and a drop shadows

Cat clouse-up

Light in a windows

Hoarfrost on a branches


Some holiday mood of course

Adding a winter forest on a foreground and stars in the sky

Finally I opened a file in Paintstom Studio and added festive lights in the village

And highlights in the cat's eyes.

The picture is almost ready, color correction is remains.

It's ready!

Have a nice and creative day!

Thanks for support!
The Yule cat seems interesting and there are cottages too, it resembles a wonderful home with much love and it reminds me of my own home there, and we had many wonderful memories there. A nice family with a nice background can be a strong foundation for your children that's why make sure to give this to your children so that whatever trials come their way, they are emotionally and psychologically healthy and strong as well.
@sexycarmen, thanks a lot!
Talk about magical. And Yule-Cat is one damn cool cat. The quaint village looks silky all drenched in moonlight. Fantastic, @daring-celt!
@litguru, thanks a lot!)
That's a fantastic piece, right down to the details in each window. Too awesome! I absolutely love the expression on the cat.
