Description Ta-daaaa!  This is for the January Autodesk Sketchbook Hero Challenge, which is to design your perfect pet.  I have a kitty that I love a ton, so what could be any better than that?  Well, I love snakes as well, but can't have one since my hubby doesn't like reptiles, and I'd be afraid of a cat and snake eating each other.  Why not smish the two creatures into one?  Best of both worlds!  The Cat-Snake can purr like a regular cat, has the fun rough tongue, a normal set of cat teeth and then a second row of snake teeth (because snakes have two sets of teeth).  It can slither, or run/slither.  The coat pattern is based off a Red-tailed Boa Constrictor, so this pet isn't venomous.  It can coil up in a pile next to you or curl around your neck (a thing I love when snakes do it).  Cuddly, curious, and playful.  The perfect companion for an animal lover torn between reptiles and mammals.

You could also get a hairless version that would just have scales, if you're allergic to cats or prefer scales to fur.

Drawn and colored in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro.  This is my very first ever Autodesk Sketchbook drawing.  I'm falling it love with that program.

Critter & art (c) to me!

The coat design, anatomy, and fuzziness are great, when will you get to creating one? When can I put my order in?

Good question.  Let me set up a Kickstarter and I'll let you know.

Kickstarter to begin the process of creating one?
Or do you actually have one hiding in your room you're trying to figure out how to get to multiply? Lol!

It reminds me of Chinese dragons, which is probably why I love it so much^^

Dragons in general are the coolest (ahem, *hottest*) but Chinese ones are in a league all their own ^^

What are your thoughts on ferrets?

DreaGryphon In reply to PureMissa [2015-02-02 03:45:14 +0000 UTC]

Ferrets are cute, but they smell (even with the scent glands removed) and are a bit too floopy in how they walk.  I'd love to play with one, though!  But you're right, they kinda are like cat-snake things.

PureMissa In reply to DreaGryphon [2015-02-02 06:36:49 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know they smelled. Are they a relative to skunks? (Need to do some research now.)

I agree, a cat/snake is the perfect pet o.o I love cats and snakes so much, and find cat-snake creatures amazing.
