Description Yup, went and did another one of these, this time for my dad for Father's Day. This is my dad's cat, Puss-Face the Precious (yeah, my dad has always had a talent for naming animals) who passed away some months ago after being struck by a car. I don't think he had her very long as I never got a chance to meet her, but he asked me to draw her and I figured this would make a good gift.

I learned my lesson from the last plaque I did , and took photos before putting on the glaze coat. Even so, the pictures still came out absolutely terrible. I eventually gave up and stuck the painting in my scanner, which produced the best result! This looks as close to the original as I could hope to get it.

This wooden plaque was painted on with acrylic paint and glazed with acrylic glaze. It took significantly less time to paint than my last one, around 6 or 7 hours.
I wouldn't mind taking commissions for these or something, they're pretty fun. Note me for details if you're interested.

These are pretty nifty. For those who want something special to remember their lost pets.

Yeah I've gotten some interest, I think it'd be really fun and good practice. I dunno why I find it easy to draw realistically with traditional media but struggle so hard with digital

Lovely Kir! Traditional anything never shines to its full potential in photos or scans, but that's almost part of it's charm. <3

You know, now that you may be offering them as commissions, I may need to have you paint some of my cats xD

Thanks! :3 Have you tried with a different variety of paints? Personally, I love acrylic. Watercolor on the other hand... I can't do watercolor to save my life.

I guess I could experiment a little, when I get more money d:
Thing is, I really suck at making colour shades, or however they are called XD

I'm glad youre offering them as commissions, I kinda want one. But I'm totally money hurting at the moment. Do you think you'll stay open for them for a while? And can I ask how much you would charge? or would you prefer if i asked you in a note?
