This is what I am starting with. I did this up quick and am looking for suggestion

I assume that the eyes are added via software! Now, If you have a cat picture, grab a nose and wiskers maybe a mouth area with teeth, or a beak from a raptor(brid of prey , hawk or owl). You kind of have owl eyes there to start. Try anything not human, to compliment the eye placement. The pumpkin kind of suggests a beak anyway. Bill

Good Idea thanks The eyes are actually cat eyes

Oooo... this is cute. You should look for this children's book with the title "How are you peeling lately?". I forgot the names of the artist and the author, but they used only produce (veggies and fruits) to portray human emotions. Maybe you could use a deeper shade of yellow for the shading around the eyes so they'd look deep-set. :)

Shrink the cat's pupils if you can to get the more knife edged lok. As for the concept, me like a lot, but don't just add a simple mouth face and ears and whatnot, go all fawking out man, cause I'm gonna for the contest!

wait til you see the mouth ryan I can not post pics from here so I will post it tonight
