Siren's Yawn

I wanted to create a sticker based on my black cat Siren, so I chose a picture of her with a big yawn taking over her face and sketched different versions ranging from realistic to cartoony. I wanted to convey the idea of light and colors showing up on her black fur, even giving the illusion of tiger stripes through parted leaves. Had a lot of fun testing colors and layer effects on my PC. I then printed and tested different types of laminate (glossy, matte, and holographics) for fun and to see what would compliment the art the best. Lastly, I used a Cricut machine to die cut each individual sticker.

I have a couple favorite types, do you prefer a certain type?
