[commissions] First take on my brother's former cat, Rico. Something's wrong but I haven't put my finger on it yet...

He's a partner to the one I did last year of his new cat, Luna:

Needs a warmer gray

I've been messing with it but it needs to match the color palate argh

palette

Which grey?

I used the same darker shade from Luna for the middle tone of Rico, and extrapolated from there, but yeah

His forebody. He looks more brown in the pic? The way a lot of black cats go rusty. Also missing that white patch below his chin.

Yeah I just need to to match the green/purple so I'm struggling with a warmer grey that goes with that. hrm.

I added the white but yeah I can't get a brownish that goes with the palette I chose for the Luna pic.

So I either need to abandon them being a pair, or fudge Rico's coloring.

I'm running it by the gal who commissioned it for him..

I think also with the color, like...it"s not getting the sorta bib shape Siamese have

also his face is angled slightly differently from the picture. it's not wrong by any means, but it might be throwing you off. but it's also like...comparing it to the pic I can see the angle is a little different but it's just like he turned his face a tiny bit in yours

can you explain the bib comment more?

I'll have to look hard at the angle since I traced it lol

I think I need to come back to this tomorrow...
