85% cat - Arlycat!

@bearone requested an 85% cat and sent a ref of “Cat 2” aka Fluffy. So here’s a short haired Arlycat leapfrogging a ball with the face of Arlybear (which was the first thing I drew her as back in the steemwars days so many moons ago XP).

Also I think this one is a bit closer to 90% cat but who’s counting XD

85% cat - KubbyElizabeth

@kubbyelizabeth wanted a cat with more pink so I made one with more pink and for some reason a pose I am utterly unfamiliar with o_O Another 85% cat with insanely long tail XD

85% cat

Today I learned that my last “acceptable jpg” settings in Krita needed to be completely flipped to be acceptable now, and @goldenarms learned what happens when fyn gets triggered by random things in chat. Both the hard way of course XD

So I did this super quick sketch:

Art therapy

My cat Graymalkin died recently. She was 17 years old, and went peacefully curled up in the sun in one of her favourite sunning spots.

From when she was a kitten she would snooze or just sit and chill on my lap whenever I was at my computer. She got me through uni and a bad breakup which had me running home to Christmas Island for a little while. If not for her I wouldn’t have gone back to Perth and would have ended up living a completely different life. Her weight (what there was of it, she was a teeny tiny cat) and purring and soft fur got me through all the things that required focus and concentration while sitting still.

Redrew @stsl’s lead image in the style of MrSquiggle and Creativebot doing a happy dance by request I guess :)

Mrsquiggle and creativebot doing happy dance

Another steem sketchy. The trigger was along the lines of seeing someone saying something like “he’s got his pencil pointed at msp-creativebot”. I needed to scroll up to see who “he” was before my brain did terrible things. Apparently the @mrsquiggle bot is helping out @msp-creativebot. How cute XD

Still counting this as a sketch because the shading was quick as and I haven’t done lineart in the better part of 15 years. And there’s no background.

Creativebot cannon

Once again, because odd things stick in my mind. 5-10min sketchy because of this.

I’m so behind on steemlords comics XD

Thursday stream - more High artbombed by Surf's Upgoat

Last Thursday stream as I’m switching to Fridays next week or so (whether I’ll manage next Friday is another thing as Sprat is up on holiday so we’ve been hanging). Decided to stream despite not having backup as I was going to be busy doing other things on the Friday when I did have backup so decided to continue working on @jedau and @randomli’s engagement present.

I usually pay at least some attention to my chat clients while working and people were talking about surfing in the TeamAus channel on Discord. @scooter77 had once asked if I could draw an upgoat on a surfboard, so that got well stuck in my brain. I know how this kind of thing works by now so new document was opened up and surfing upgoat was knocked out in a relatively short amount of time so I could get back to it. I’m thoroughly pleased with how the engagement present is turning out.

Surf's upgoat

@scooter77 is one of the people that started the upgoat thing. He and some other people were in he TeamAus channel talking about surfing. I was streaming and working on the engagement present for @jedau and @randomli.

Surfing upgoats got stuck in my head, and we know what happens when something gets stuck in my head (for those that don’t, if an idea gets stuck in my head, I have to draw/write it to evict it otherwise it’s ridiculously hard to do anything else). Now there is a surfing upgoat on the idea of a wave.

Upgoat on an upboat

Because some of the people on the TeamAus Discord chat keep calling upvotes upboats and recently along came upgoats.
