Description
Happy belated birthday, ! Here's a kitty, just for you! x)Aha. I'm bad with birthdays. This is why I do gifts early!
I worked on this non-stop for a few hours tonight. Yes, there may be some mistakes, but I am still... very pleased with the end result, especially since this was my first time drawing Tugger. A bit inspired by the birthday girl's tendency (that makes it sound bad, haha) to add her own personal touch to the designs RUG gave to the characters, I ... didn't make him look exactly like he should. (Who does, though? XD) I had quite a bit of fun coloring. But uh, you can see where I got lazy with the studs. *cough*
My mom watched me color this after she got home, which I actually didn't mind. However, I'm still baffled as to why she wants to print it out and hang it up at the shop. (She did that with a picture of Mitsuru, too. Ihatethatpicturenow.)
... I sketched this in OpenCanvas, inked it in SAI, and colored in Photoshop. XD; How do I have patience?
SO ANYWAY! I hope you like it, Mu! I couldn't choose out of all your pretty babies, and I couldn't really remember if I ever figured out your favorite (if there is one!) CATS character... so it was a semi-random choosing. XD

sgdhdkiyytgrf Rum Tum Tuggerrrrr. <3 I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite Cat, but I definitely have a great fondness for him.
He's exceptionally well drawn. Your time and effort clearly paid off here, since everything looks brilliant. I can only imagine what a pain in the ass all that fur must have been to draw and color in, but it all looks so goooood.
His expression is excellent, too, and I really like all the small details, like the cat-shape of his eyes, the shine on the spikes of his collar, and the shadow behind him. Nicely done, Franky. :]

I think there's a bit of Tugger love in every CATS fan. :3 I'd be very shocked to hear someone doesn't like him!
Thank you so much. His fur was more of a pain when I was sketching. It was actually really fun to ink and color! I don't know why, but I like having to change colors every couple minutes (or less). And I am very glad the time I put into this shows. ;_;
And thank you again. <3

My own Tugger! Oh wow, you're much too kind Franky, thank you so much 
This is so wonderful, great take on the design *admires* and I love his expression; relaxed with a kind face is just the way I like the boys the most. He's so pretty ~♥
Ahn, your style suits CATS so nicely, now I know for sure what a pity it is you're not posting CATS pics 24/7 - but that's okay 'cuz I'd miss your boys and girls if you did 
Also, shading studs, just how much patience do you got bottled up inside you? I'd die halfway through *laughs*
Again, thank you!

Hehe, well, someone has suggested I draw Munkustrap, so don't think this is the last time I'll be drawing someone from the cast! ;D
A separate layer set as a clipping mask above the layer with the studs' flat color...
And you're welcome, again!

Ah, thanks for the tip! Now I only need to figure out what a "clipping mask" is and I guess studs will be a whole deal easier, haha. And yeah, I saw that. Am not going to protest *go go*

:3 You're welcome. Aha. (In Photoshop... when you just want to color over one layer's colors, create a new layer and select "create clipping mask" or whatever. XD Right below the layer name.)
: D;; Guess I have to do it now!

Aah, so that's how the magic's done. I need to learn 'masks'... and a billion other things *nods* and yupp, I think you do
