I'm terrible at drawing the human form, so no fan art of MOTU or POP characters even though I'd love to be able to do them. However, I do dollhouse miniatures and now in quarantine I've started painting pictures of feline companions here and past, because in February I lost a dearly beloved furbaby. I hope it's okay to share that art here.

Patch And Scratch (And Baby Kat, Too)
Thank you for sharing.
I've never had a cat, but both of my parents when they were young would keep cats.
What do you paint with (e.g. acrylics)? The separation of colours appears to be very clean, which would require a steady hand.
All three are acrylic on canvas.
Nice. I've been told acrylics is pretty forgiving compared with something like oil, but truth be told I've never painted traditionally ... I tried using oil pastels before (strictly speaking not really "paint"), but it just didn't do it for me. Perhaps lack of skill is the reason, hahah.
It takes a lot of practice whatever medium you use, and I had to get used to the canvas, too. I have more pictures on my deviantart account: lauragill. I do all my own book covers and maps.
Thanks for talking to me. It's easy for a newbie like me to get lost.
This is probably the primary reason for my lack of skill in general. I am just too lazy and the only thing I am keen on is procrastination...Quote:

New cat picture in progress. Only halfway complete. Still a lot of details to be worked out, but taking a photograph helps me see things my naked eye would otherwise miss.

The Christmas Angels painting is finished. Molly (right) was originally supposed to have angel wings to show that she's still around in spirit, but I thought the wings would take away from Ru (left).
Acrylic on canvas.

I like how the cats' tails are pointing towards each other. :)Quote:

Starting next year's Halloween costume now? Par for the course. The Demeter headdress, still in progress.

Just finished Molly and the Sweetheart Quilt. This is the final memorial picture of Molly which I started last year. Below is the actual sweetheart quilt, still in progress.
