Why are they so popular?
This is why:

They paint the most ridiculously cute cats EVER!
Using mainly digital media including Paint Tool Sai and Photoshop, their work is characterised by soft colours and even softer brush strokes to create a warm, cosy atmostphere in their paintings.
They do a lot of work by commission through deviantart for many different customers and they have also uploaded tutorials to help other artists hone their digital skills!

In this commission to the left you can see the similarities in style with the above image. The commission was for another deviantart user and is one of their most popular works on their page.
Apofiss also paints a range of other subjects other than cats, from humans to other animals and popular characters and even still life.

In these other works Apofiss also shows a higher technical ability than in the previous images- in this portrait especially they have done well to capture lighting effects and the features of the subject well- while still keeping their style firmly in place. The soft waves of this subject's hair is similar in the way they paint fur, and the background shares the same subtle effect his other works do.

Apofiss also uses characters from popular franchises as subjects, such as this Pikachu from Pokémon.
Although this painting does not look like their typical style, there are still some staple similarities between this and their previous images. These can be noticed in the way the face and expression of the subject have been drawn (a cute expression is reminicent of the cat paintings) and the brush strokes throughout the piece and in the background have been seen consistently in their works.
