Cat face for a character that will be juggling mice on a unicycle. Hope to have this the first of a series for Carnival of the Animals. Hope you enjoy my slightly evil cat.
That is just nasty! Cats should not smile, ever!
some of them do, actually
Cool looking cat! I hope you make a scene with it!
Glad to see you are still here Bas.
Here is a sketch and study for my first Carnival pict. Comments, as always, very welcome.

This will be a nice scene!
I like it. I would be more inclined to use a more cat like body, rather than human looking. Unless of course this is your intention.
I Look forward to the final image.
I made the cat body anthropomorphic on purpose, but I may rethink this since the other animals will be more natural in shape. My interest was in placing the leotard textures on the body and a smooth surface worked well, but I think I can still retain the funky clothes and make his body more cat like. Thanks for the input
I realized when trying to render the head in projection master that the mesh was very twisted. I redid the head and this is a study.
I have also been playing with the carnival background but it needs more work before I post anything. Thanks for the input
This is great, hawkline13! I love SideShow Art! Perhaps some inspiration here:
Thanks for the link Kid! What a great site with lots of inspiration.
You’re welcome,…I’ll be watching for your updates. 50.
Just to show you that I’m still working on my little project. I created the unicycle in Maya and painted it in Z.
Funny cycle! Once I tried to ride one like that for one second, big bump on my head
Hawki
Can you tell how you painted the fur on cat ?
using material fibers, or fiber brush? or you rendered in maya?
Hawki I was trying to create my own model of cat
But I am not able to get as detailed model as you created ?
Can you provide a tutorial on how to create those details ?
Any particular alphas you used ?
I have my own pet cats wanna create a model of them

This is a great thread Hawk. Very unique and well worth watching :) Wicked, the middle kitty and the kitty on the left remind me of daughters another cat of mine had. I would like to see you succeed in this!

This quiet little thread has really surprised me! Those cats are fabulous,Sunny and the model is great, Vic. I will put together something showing how I arrived at my cat models. I used both Zspheres and latter box modeling all in Zbrush. The fur is a combination of alphas and Fiberbrush. I use the Fiberbrush in Projection Master, but only for preliminary effects. I have to drop it and apply it on a baked canvas for the best fur. The highlight,smear, and darken tools I also use extensively. I will post my files (alphas, Fiberbrush settings, and models) as soon as I can. Thank you for your wonderful feedback!
