Hullo everyone! Long time no see, as usual. XD
For Christmas this year, I decided to commission someone to paint Honey and Lemon as a gift for my Fiance, and the result is absolutely brilliant. He adores them (got them early as a Yule gift) just as much as I do, thankfully. XD The cats are the most important thing in our lives, so it seemed a great gift idea.

His illustrations are really vibrant and full of character, he also does some amazing Beatrix Potter-style illustrations. For someone so young (I believe he's younger than me and I'm 23) he is extremely talented. I met him at a convention and added him on Facebook afterwards, which is how I found out that he's an artist.
He was lovely to work with, prompt and gave great communication the entire time. The scans of the paintings really do not do them justice, they're stunning in person. Although he worked with lots of reference photos, the poses are entirely from his brain.
If any of you are interested, here is his Facebook page:

He does watercolour commissions, £5 for A5 and £10 for A4, and can provide frames for an extra cost. C:
