My Cats - Paintings, Photography and Drawings



Soooo, What do YOU call a pregnant goldfish?


...oh man. Just checked Lolcats and look at the latest picture


Yin and yang, white and black.
Low and high, light and dark, male and female...

Cold and damp and dark, peaceful birthing, the feminine night
Hot and dry and bright and fierce, determined aggression, the masculine day.


The lineart... well, I drew the animals first, used stencils to make the circles...

Cat is referenced from a photo of the same cat as I used in Autumn Colours
and from Can You Fly?


Fish is a betta fish.

Tried to make it look like they're floating within a bubble.

Painted in ArtRage 2.5 ; time... three-four hours.
P.S. Help! What category?

I really love the new version, but a beta fish is usually red or blue and nowhere near as fat This looks more like a goldfish.

Flynn-the-cat In reply to RiseofDarkFire [2009-11-27 02:10:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh, this is actually the original version I just fixed up a couple of issues with the PNG.
(I then had to carefully paint it black and white <.<

Really, hmm. I think I actually used my own colours for both animals, but I can't remember anymore... ^_^

Just google "Siamese fighting fish" and you'll see what a beta looks like They're the same thing..

Wonderfully cool! I need a shirt with that on it.

But, in the meantime, if the mood strikes you, perhaps one where the cat and the fish are eying each other?

*mutters* that's right, distract me onto Zazzle. I'm meant to be cleaning the house, not making shirts!

I might Been thinking about doing another like this.

Followed your link and was impressed with the Zazzle site. But googled "review zazzle" and found some horror stories about quality of print on t-shirt, and also on top ten reviews found it was fifth, with someplace called UberPrints being first. Certainly seems like a lot of stuff going on in that arena. Are they working well for you?

Flynn-the-cat In reply to redwoodtwig [2009-11-30 00:05:34 +0000 UTC]

Really? The print quality is usually one of the best things - oh, yes, there are a few horror stories, actually, but they do refund. But the usual quality is fine. And no, they aren't THE best - but they're replacing Cafepress and offer a lot more than just t-shirts, which I always forget are an option anyway >.> And their Art prints/paper printing is supposed to be really good - which, actually, is what I was interested in initially. I'll have to have a look at other sites more seriously, if I start making more t-shirts
