Re: A Prickly Landing


Those balloon cats better be careful how they land or it's going to be a sad day. There's so much to worried about when you're a balloon.

On a cream shirt! Whooooooh.

Version 2 on a baby blue shirt:

LOL! Thank god, indeed. My friend suggested making a prickly pear cactus in the shape of a pear that was also a cat. =D

This is really cute! Love the cacti and cat balloons and your style. I wish the sky wasn't quite so blocky though. Other than that, it's great... I was very attracted to the thumbnail.

Vote!

I meant that there were none in the design. ;)

I have bumped into a few saguaro in my day but I have, fortunately, avoided cholla and fishhook barrels. For a native Arizonan, cactus thorns are more of a childhood rite than anything else. :P

Yay, for once I didn't mess up the thumbnail. LOL, I was thinking I should have dry brushed the border around the image to make it less blocky. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

heh, I know what you mean I'm always wondering if I chose the wrong thumbnail. Just to clarify - I don't think the red border was totally necessary, but you did pick the right part of the design - definitely attracted me!

Ouch, that's harsh, Bass.
(See, it's funny because I have different taste in music. I'm sooo hilarious.)

I'm a sucker for cats, and this is using kitties in a fun and different way... Nice job!

This is really fun!
I had no idea whatsoever that it was your design, until I noticed you responding to comments about it

Good job, I love seeing something new from artists week after week.

Aw yay, I'm glad you checked it out. I'm not trying to be sneaky but I tend to get that a lot... =D

This is cool because it's so simple, yet very expressive. I love the line weights you have going on.

Thank you so much, I use a brush pen for all of the thick lines. Very useful for getting line weights minus some of the problems regular brushes have. No ink bottles to spill over. =P

Heh, she's making fun of my taste in music... it's actually a reference to a Miley song. (too much references!)

Heh heh, I loves weird kitties... for example here's an image I drew of a cat puking kittens. I also did an image of a mouse that lives inside of a cat.

LOL, actually it's an inside joke, the artist is a friend of mine. We had been hearing this one Miley Cyrus song (Party in the USA) like every 10 minutes... If you listen to the song you'll get it, hahaha.
