Crystal Alertness -- Drawing

Oh my goodness, this took FOREVER. But I'd say it was worth it! I started out drawing this on paper and was able to finish the eye, nose and base of the head, but I did the fur in Photoshop using a very handy fur brush (I believe they came from the Wildlife Texture pack by Sullivan) and some creative layering. Didn't come out too bad in the end, I'd say :3 So here's your kitty Rain, hope you like it!
