Description About the title: yes I know it isn't Jabba-the-hut but it is so fat... and this was the most lovely and funny comment about this picture!

I have done this for the only purpose to sell this picture… My grandfather said to me that I have to do “normal” picture and so he can sell them… I like to do what I want with my colors but sometimes I need also of money (I work also in a pizzeria… but the life is very hard if you want to satisfy all your hobbies… I think I spent too much money in colors and paper… and with my mobile-phone and comics and book… O my God T_T I’m really stupid… sorry…)… And so I have done something “normal” but anyway something that I like: a cat! I have looked at a B/W picture and then tried to imagine it in colours. I have used the Winsor & Newton aquarelle (a really old set that my mother buy for me as a present….) I really don’t like to use aquarelle… I’m not so good because I’m dirty… with the acrylics I can cover the errors but I can’t do the same with this transparent colours T_T and overall I’m not so patience… I don’t like to wait that the water came out and so on… Anyway this is the result of (more or less) 30 minutes in the afternoon before to go at work in pizzeria… I hope you enjoy this really fatty cat!

That title is funny.
I've always had a thing for white cats with blue eyes, that's why I own two of them.
Your kitty is cute, I love the colors. The ear, eyes, and nose are all well done.

Hehehe... I've never seen a fat cat. XD
Maybe you don't like watercolors, but this turned out pretty good. I like the colors you chose (the yellow background is prrrfect!). I like how you did the fur : 3

Grazie, ma un paio di persone non lo hanno voluto comprare perchè dicono che i gatti portano male ... nella foto che ho preso come referenza era di gran lunga più magro, ma un po' per il colore... un po' che me ne sono passata col pelo... ecco... è diventato un gatto grasso e soddisfatto ^^

Ah ah... la gente e' proprio strana. Pensa che io ho un gatto (grasso) tatuato su una spalla... per me sono sempre stati dei portafortuna!

infatti e poi io sapevo (storie di nonni) che in una casa dove c'è un gatto "il demonio non entra" e (altra credenza popolare) che fossero state le streghe a mandare in giro la storia che i gatti neri portavano male così la gente li cacciava via e loro potevano fare quello che volevano perchè in realtà il gatto nero era pericoloso solo per loro quante se ne dicono in un paesello ^^

SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is such a beautiful picture! what a great technique you have!
I admire anyone who can handle watercolors like this, why do you say you're not good at it??? you should see MY attempts... but you never will lol And anyway, I love cats too, so I really love this picture

Betta-Fly In reply to MaxRogue [2004-10-11 02:49:53 +0000 UTC]

thank you my friend you make me happy!... yes it can be good but this is not my first attemt ^^ you don't have to be sad (water colours are not educated and really wilde colours... you needs of a clear and light sketch and a really good brush) my first attempt was really terrible and then I decided to use water colours only with other kind of traditional media... :/ only after long time I tried again.
