Great! You might want to take the penguin layer and change the hue of all the black patches to match the molting fur color. I just think that would really kick the blending over the top. I think it's really cool you matched the cats color to the molting, but I'm just thinking more for visual coherence. It's so super all round right now, so no worries. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks, good idea. Appreciate the advice and kind words.

It looks really cute I love his eyes.
