EARLY ACCESS // moka
Added 2021-07-09 08:51:41 +0000 UTCI 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.

2021-07-15 17:40:13 +0000 UTCWould 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?

2021-07-12 16:00:05 +0000 UTCsame, 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
2021-07-12 07:30:13 +0000 UTCi 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
2021-07-12 07:29:48 +0000 UTCthank you! I've been enjoying making the environments more, too.
Loish
2021-07-12 07:28:41 +0000 UTCthanks! from a distance his eyes always looked darker. i think because he had quite a heavy brow!

2021-07-12 07:28:22 +0000 UTCWhat a precious furball🥺🥺

2021-07-10 06:34:55 +0000 UTCI've never seen such blue eyes on a cat! Lucky guy has been immortalized on this beautiful portrait, good for him :) ❤️

2021-07-10 05:16:04 +0000 UTCGlad you got a vacation. Specially glad to see you continue to branch out. I agree with Tina, above.
Greg Schultz
2021-07-09 22:29:18 +0000 UTCThose blue eyes! So why did you choose dark eyes in the sketch? Glad you had a great vacay with new furr friends!
David Woods
2021-07-09 16:41:11 +0000 UTCWhat 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.

2021-07-09 15:37:16 +0000 UTCThis 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

2021-07-09 13:50:26 +0000 UTCI 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.

2021-07-09 11:28:04 +0000 UTCOkay 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.

2021-07-09 11:26:20 +0000 UTCUnfassbar 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! 💕

2021-07-09 11:21:31 +0000 UTCI 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!
