Description
Mavka has an important message to deliver - and it doesn't look like good news... (Yes, it is the same region of forest where the Trackers were sighted, which may account for her concern...)
I've been wanting to play with the cat saddle for ages - the impossibility of the contraption and the concept really appeals to me. Have you ever tried to train a cat, let alone ride one?

PS Last week's run was a monster. I got half way, then had a blinding flash of common sense, and stopped. Even so, I felt a great sense of achievement - more than half the field didn't even run that far. And I finished right next to the desserts (thanks to Savage_dragon for those :o)
Many thanks for all your encouragement and good wishes for the run. Next year...!!!
And now it's on to the cycling season...

cool character, scene and pov - great lighting!
I learned, as a small child, if you put your cat in the dryer for a few turns, they will do just about anything you want. Much easier to train that way. ;)
Cute one! Excellent done!
Well done. Great idea with the cat:-)
OMG @ Savage Dragon...though it may be in humane to do such a thing..I once tied a bag of cat nip to a cat I had once..damn thing ran in circles got tired,disorientated,and quite buzzed...he got right back up and did it again...lol... Love what you created here..Great use of design and imagination!..Well Done! -Will-
I've trained my cat to give me kisses before she gets to go outside but other than that no they are hard to train in my opinion they just look at you with a bored expression and walk away.. cute work
stopped and stared and then smiled wonderful work, Craig warm hugs, Linda
i like it ...especially pov ..
Yes, a cat saddle is quite a remarkable idea! Great image with it!!
Lovely
Very cute!! Cat saddle,,hmmm..interesting concept:-)Imagine riding a cat when it is spotted by some dog and it takes off like a rocket and goes up a tree... Haha.. I think that would be something to see:-)
such an wonderful scene!
Excellent work! wonderful lighting.
Like this little Story and the Background with Vue
Excellent results, great image
Super Image:)
mignon!!
A wonderful forest with great character trees and lighting. Perfect for a cat ride. Mavka rides very well. She picked a pretty wild mount, a siamese, to deliver her message on hope she makes it. Great scene, very creative.
I like her worry expression, danger lurking here... Train a cat is impossible...they train us.
Don't let my cat see this picture - he thinks people are for carrying cats not the other way around!! Awesome pic Craig - whimsical, dynamic (great lighting) appealing. Top job mate!
Fantastic composition. Great render!!
Fantastic scene and lighting.Wonderful work.
