I painted one of my cats today for an IFX q&a. Her name is Lydia; her nickname is The Pest. She is obnoxiously affectionate and always looks a tiny bit annoyed at the world.
It makes me want to do a series of all of them. I try not to discuss my cat horde that often, but truth be told--we've got 15 of them. (Indoors only, big house, clean, all in pristine health and spoiled rotten; don't worry.) My family went on a rescue/adoption spree when I was a kid and they are obviously a big part of my life. It'd be fun to immortalize them all.
I also finished up a personal character work a few weeks ago.
The portrait bug always bites me when I'm juggling a lot of small commissions. I'm working on some more complicated images now, mostly sample pieces--and glad for it! Stay tuned....
The portrait is beautiful. (For some reason, I imagine him on a swing!)
ReplyDelete*insert incoherent sounds here* Your cat looks adorably cranky! Good rendering there, too.
Wonderful art as always! I adore cats too, but I have only one (can't handle more than one little beast in my apartment)... And she's one of my best friends. I should make a portrait of her too some time.
