YESSSSSS

Love it. I'm a little crunched for time this week though so I may have to go traditional media rather than digital...

Ok, I always say that I'm going to get in but I never do... this time I am in no matter what - mid-terms be damned! Here's a super quickie - I just got done reading some Solomon Kane stories and thought that Puss as Kane might be fun - I didn't know about adding a human headed staff for him though - maybe

So hoping a little anthro is going to be acceptable.

I know any all-out cat I might try is gonna end up like Puss from Shrek. So I'm going in this direction instead... LOL!
The coat design is completely wrong for the top hat... so ones gonna have to change.

Yeah, that would be a great point for clarification. I was going for a sphinx cat look. How much anthro are we allowed? Or just as long as we go for "realism" as opposed to cartoon?

I hope cartoon isn't out.... otherwise I'm hosed. LOL!

I did notice yours looked like an Egyptian cat... so good job there.

Of course cartoon isn't out! What better round for a cartoon style than puss in boots? :]

Yeah, anthro is okay, but keep at least some reference to being a cat.

Keep in mind some stories have the Puss in Boots as female, too!


Also, I totally forgot about Shrek. Woops.

Oh crap... this combo could be bad. Cat Girls with nothing but boots on... I see a parade of them already. LOL!

Troubadour I kinda like it - it reminds me of some stuff that Dave McKean did for this book Varjak Paw - I think your sketch has some real wild feral energy. Cool!

Shannanigan yeah - my pervy brain thought of the female version first but like you said - I can anticipate a parade of them. I like how rakeish your sketch is.

Ostrander I like the happy cat! I can't do happy or upside down. You make me jealous on so many levels!

Ain't that the truth. This brings back memories of the Plague Doctor round where the doctor had to be covered because, you know, she was around people with the Bubonic Plague. Next thing you know you see two pages of topless women with masks and black capes. :p

(sorry, it's late, I get goofy when I'm exhausted. I'm sure I'll regret this post in the morning.)

Added update, seems like the proper way on this forum is to extend original post. please correct me if Im wrong.
Thanks



Hello everyone, this is my first time posting to this site. After seeing all the creative work going on here and the skill to aspire for I thought I'd give it a go. I usually do contests over at imagine fx, but love the character and creature creation subjects especially.

Please post crits and comments as I am trying to really improve involving color ,composition etc. Just drawing doesnt cut it anymore, I want to focus on what I usually dont.

Thanks and Im glad to be here. Worked this up in painter and would love to hear your crits and or comments, Thanks

Tom
