Portrait of Dinkyby ~mollygrue

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals

made in photoshop
textures from cgtextures.com

I'm living with several cats at the moment and this one is the most adorable and friendly of the bunch. Her name is Dinky (so named because she was so small and frail as a kitten). Her favorite pastimes are hiding/sleeping under the sofa, rolling on the floor, showing off her fancy tail and generally acting like a princess.

I find her terribly amusing.

one of the most beautiful drawing of a cat i have seen. you manage to avoid this "ultra_cutness" which is usually present in cat portraits. great colours!

~mollygrue Dec 16, 2010

Thanks! I don't have anything against cute cat pictures (and I'll fawn over them as much as the next person), but cats have a wide range of personalities and moods. I think it's nice to see them portrayed in a variety of ways.

Is this from life or a photograph? The light is gorgeous, and the brush strokes are too, the expression and pose are extremley cute.

~mollygrue Nov 15, 2010

I took a photograph of her for reference. Cats are great for gesture studies, not so much for longer poses

I love this image! The way you got the light through the fur is amazing

Oh yes, she's very sweet

This is really playful with really great lighting. I especially love the brushwork in this, makes me want to ruffle Dinky's fur!

I saw this in someone's favourites and couldn't resist fave-ing it myself! So lovely! The lighting is so bold and beautiful and I fell hard for the silly-rollling-kitty pose <3
