Cartoon Cat Face WIP

I’ve got to stop doing these Mice…this is supposed to be a cat WIP :rolleyes:

That whole cheese thing got me started.

Have been playing with the cat:

Hope this is a little less stilted.

Here is the finalized scene.

I think the lighting on this one might be a little better.

This is much better. The contrast helps a lot to read the scene.
All I, and that’s purely a matter of taste, would do is to create some segments on the disk behind the cat. Just faint color differences. Ir a spiral. Same color, just a tick darker. So the poor thing doesn’t look empty. Or knifes and blood splatter but I guess that doesn’t really fit… Except it’s a special version for Ron hahaha.

Sample of what I am writing about (cloud pattern, masked in with PS):

Please forgive the mod…

PS:I love the frame!!! Maybe you try the gradient material on it. It looks like wood then…

Thx lemonnado, I’ll give it a try. The stars I had originally were too distracting but I do like the cloud effect :smiley:

How about this instead, looks a bit like stretched cloth.

Nice! Takes the flatness away. Great. Imho… it’s a wrap!

Tomorrow is Thursday. That’s receycling day here in my Neighborhood.

Thx lemonnado,
I’ll see what I can find in my recycle bin! :wink:

You should add the cheeze juggling mouse into the bottom right…

Trying to upstage the cat :slight_smile:

Hi Elixir,
Funny you should mention that. I had planned on doing that at one point. Might put him in, since they are both juggling food. :wink:

Now it is looking better and better :+1:

Funny :cool:

Hawkline: I like your sense of humor. I think it would certainly add something to the mix. Very understated though, don’t make the juggling mouse too prominent.

I love your comment on “Food”.

The whole peice is a wonderful, whimsickle ironic juxtaposition. :slight_smile:

Great work.

Here is where I see him. Hope you don’t mind my crude paintover.

Thx Elixir,
I will probably revisit this and I think you are right about the mice in front, I might not take them out but make them smaller or place them differently. I was wondering for the sake of composition if the juggling mouse might not go better on the other side? (altho where you placed it works)
Anyway, I am into modeling my fire breathing alligator, so that will have to wait for at least a few days :wink:
Thx again guys for all the good comments. What I really feel I need to do is work on the depth. Still to flat for my taste.

Here is my Alligator, will have to put him in a scene for continuity but for now thought I would post him.

As always comments welcome :wink:
