Training Portal Graduation Cat

I designed a graduation cat that contributed to Contrast Security collections of cat's. It was a side project my lead designer gave me the option to do or not do, was totally up to me, I was like "oh God, I don't have any experience with designing this sort of thang, but I know Illustrator and I'll try my best". The brief was they needed a graduation cat for their software security training portal. And this bad boy I ended up with. I believe, with an open mindset and hard work anything can be achieved!

Feedback is always welcome :)
