Description
Heeey guys. I know I haven't uploaded any art in forever. I've been insanely busy/exhausted due to work.I've been dabbling in some photography lately, including self-portrait photography, which is kinda fun. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but it's a good way for me to practice some photo touch-up skills.
The cat is named Apollo. He's a 7-month-old lynx point siamese whom I adopted a few months ago from a shelter. He's quite insane.
Would anyone be interested in seeing more stuff like this? I know it's very different from my usual uploads. I don't want to inundate people with silly photos of me when they're here to see my drawings.

Beautiful picture of the 2 of you. Β Did you touch up your cat's eyes? I don't think I've ever seen blue eyes on a cat...unless my monitor need adjusted

Thanks!
Yup I played around with the saturation levels a tiny bit to give his eyes some more pop. They're still naturally pretty blue but not quite so saturated in reality:Β scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hpβ¦

Still, while you did give them a little more pop, I still gotta say those are still the bluest eyes I've ever seen on a cat. Β It's so cool! Β They definitely give him more personality, if that isn't too strange to say, since cats are full of personality. Β

Yeah I guess he does have pretty vivid eyes! We're pretty sure he's part siamese, so I think that's where he gets it.
I actually have another blue-eyed siamese mix too: scontent-a-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hp⦠Hers are a bit paler though.

Haha! That picture is equally hilarious and cute! I gotta say that both of your cats must make great photo and (with this picture) character reference for you. I'm really glad I followed Claire / shoomlah's link to you, and got to see your artwork all the while learning about feline eye color! Keep up the great work and funning it up with your cats!

A little bit! I studied it throughout school but my vocabulary and grammar aren't fantastic. I live in California so knowing some Spanish is a big part of the culture here.
The name autogatos refers to this kitty actually. When my husband and I were trying to name him, we thought it'd be funny to name him Gato (since a cat named Cat amused us) and came up with AutoGato as an even sillier name. We ended up naming him Apollo instead, but Autogato, or Gato is his nickname that we use more than his real name.
And thanks!

I'd love to see both more of the cat, and more of you - maybe even in the form of stock poses? You've got such a great look, it'd be nice to see some simple poses with a white / dark sheet up for contrast, for references and whatever. Obviously, only if you're comfortable with that.
And lol kitty does look a little... spazzy...
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much!
Hmm, what sort of poses do you think would be useful? I admit I'm actually quite terrible at thinking up poses (and have used my fair share of stock while drawing).

Well what I like to see because I do a LOT of manips that involve unusual body features like extra limbs and such, would be things like, trying to keep your body as still as possible, with different arm postures, then different leg moves, etc. Anything from sitting in a chair, standing, pretending to fight, etc - though I have been working on a four armed girl I found that's just an adorable natural pose looking around with her hair in the wind.
Stuff with both close-cut clothing, and like, drapes - a lot of people need to use references for shadow and rippled materials.
Anyway, just my suggestion - I suspect it'd be fun to put a few extra arms or ... >_> make you into a cat-taur with your cat lol...
