Who knows MAYBE they will make a Beasts Book Vol.3, if so I will be submitting my work extra extra early instead of super last minute.
This first image if the original idea I had, the cat doesn't look that sinister as I'd have liked and the little ginger tom doesn't really have a place being there really, but I do like the speak bubbles.. but then again I would say that as I put them in everything ^_^
This is the revised image, it still needs a lot of tweaking, the solid white areas are just ideas of placement for the legs of the dead person and the spirit that the cat is stealing. I'm happy with the more solid black cat and this thinner outline/outer glow but I think it still needs a lot of work to tie it all together nicely.

Good stuff kate:D The revised version works well in the way it empahsises the dark nature of cait sith stealing souls.
The glow of the cat and the menacing eyes work against the darker background, plus the idea of the soul floating out the man is a nce one too which gives it a bit more narrative compared to the previous.
perhaps you could scan in bits of brown paper and place them on a layer beneath the cat and the man?
Like it!
I reminds me of the stuff by Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy (the original comic, not the mediocre film). The comic has a lot of mythological references which I think work rather well with his distinctive style.
