EARLY ACCESS // moka

I spent the last two weeks of June on vacation in the south of France, in a remote area called the Cevennes. We had booked a little house on a property that was teeming with animals. There were chickens, pigeons, ducks, dogs, horses, and a few cats too. One of the cats, Moka, instantly stole our hearts. He was the sweetest little kitty. He loved to be cuddled and held, and always came to greet us in the morning. He would hang out with us and fall asleep in our arms. We had such a hard time saying goodbye to him, although I’m sure he’s stolen the hearts of the new guests too! Here’s a little portrait of this precious little dude, plus some photos. I miss little Moka so much!

Thanks for your reply. Good to know. I'm afraid we won't have time for a holiday after all with our siberian cat we need looking after and we're going to move at the end of the summer. Hope traveling becomes a bit easier in the future, I miss it.

Omg how sweet. Looks like a lovely trip!

Ravyn Mitts

south of france is the perfect spot to take a break!! we loved staying here but there were some issues with it which made us decide not to return in the future. If you want to know more just send over a DM :)

Loish

Pushed enter by mistake. Wanted to say aswell: lovely drawing and lovely textures, nice to see your progress with trying out the brushes!

Julia Jager

Would it be really weird if I asked which house you rented? Because I’ve been wondering about taking a small break and was wondering about the South of France for a change and my boyfriend loves animals (his future image of our house sounds like a farm). So that’s kind of a coincidence. Could you recommend the place?

Julia Jager

thank you so much tanja <3

Loish

These colors are so wonderful! Makes me think of summer for sure 🌸

Liesbeth Tatjana

definitely! I'll be editing & rendering that one this week :)

Loish

Will we be getting the time-lapse for this beautiful piece?

Pricella

same, I've been to the cevennes like 7 times now and have plans to return many more times :) we were near St Jean du Gard. I would love to hear more about the cottages you know about, we want to visit a new place next time we go! if it's an easier way to communicate, you could email me at loishh@gmail.com :)

Loish

thanks so much sabrina :)

Loish

i used a mix of lasso tool and textured brushes to get the effect! I tried out a few different ones since I don't really have a go-to textured brush just yet.

Loish

thank you! I've been enjoying making the environments more, too.

Loish

thanks! from a distance his eyes always looked darker. i think because he had quite a heavy brow!

Loish

What a precious furball🥺🥺

Sasalele

what a cutie!! 🥺

Justine Flores

I've never seen such blue eyes on a cat! Lucky guy has been immortalized on this beautiful portrait, good for him :) ❤️

Piotr Kostecki

Glad you got a vacation. Specially glad to see you continue to branch out. I agree with Tina, above.

Greg Schultz

Those blue eyes! So why did you choose dark eyes in the sketch? Glad you had a great vacay with new furr friends!

David Woods

What a cutie! I can totaly understand why you fell in love with him 😊 Sounds like a very enjoyable vacation. The illustration is divine and it invites me to enjoy the enviroment you captured. I have to admit lately I've been enjoying your environment pieces more than girl illustrations. They always kinda invite me to imagine myself in the scene and make me wanna explore the worlds you portray.

Tina Kavčič

This looks sooo cozy and it makes me miss travelling so so much! Been in lockdown for almost two months now here in Malaysia ;-; Moka is so adorbs, those baby blues omg! I'm surprised you didn't paint his eyes a bright blue :D

Heartwarming ❤

I can’t figure out how you made this wall texture. The render is so accurate, and yet the pencil strokes seem so random overlapping thingies… Duh. Hello from (west) France, btw.

Lanza

Oh so cute! That's such a loving cat! 💕

Niquey

Okay first, Moka is ADORABLE. Those blue eyes in that last picture....wow! And secondly, that's a gorgeous piece! I love the looseness of it, it's so calming.

Alicia

Unfassbar gut! Unbelievably good! I said that several times and I think I shouldn‘t show this picture to my husband over and over again. 😅 But I love it! I‘m so curious to see the things you explore. I like your characters a lot, but these other things, animals, environments you draw a lot lately are a really fascinating mix of colors, reduction, intent, and things I can‘t properly name. Really cool! 💕

Sabrina Schmeing

That's impossible to not love him instantly 😍 so cute !

Amélie

I am a French fan and the Cévennes is a bit like my second home! I'm really glad you like this place. Which village did you go to? I know many cottages there which offer splendid landscapes if that interests you!

Héloïse Peaucelle

Beautiful artwork and lovely Moka! 💜😃💜 It looks like you spent some enjoyable days there. I think it's so important to enjoy free time and relax. Thanks Loish for sharing these impressions with us and have a great day! 🙃

Moritz Vahrmeyer

definitely! I always enjoy the cevennes. the solitude and nature is just amazing :)

Loish

Oh wow, he has the most beautiful blue eyes 💕
