i was not ready for the fall

OK.

So recently, several people have been asking Kitty for art pointers.  Kitty surprised, and flattered, since Kitty not really consider himself any good at this art thing, mew...

But at the same time, if Kitty's limited skills, or his mistakes can help anyone, mew, ^^; then that's a good thing, mew.

So Kitty sketched this picture, this morning on openCanvas 1.1 b72.  This is the oC version everyone uses for "network collaboration," aka, oC'ing. ^^  Another advantage of this version is support for event files.

Just in case you don't know what an event file is... well... when you open the event file in oC 1.1, you will see every step, and every action, in the making of that picture, from begining to end.  You'll see how the picture is made, every brushstroke, and everything, mew, so that should be helpful.  There is one final correction Kitty did with SAI, which involves resizing of the eyes, but mew, oC doesn't allow for resizing.

Again, you will need oC 1.1 to view the event file -- a great program to have, and easily available from the internets.  You will also need the event file, so click here to download it, it's about 762 kb. ^^

Once you do, 1. open oC;  2. from the "File" option at the top, select "Import Event File";  3. select the file;  4. click OK on the window that appears, (the button with the green check) and enjoy the show. ^^  It should run for less than 10 minutes, mew.

Again, Kitty wish he were more skilled at this... but like I said, if anyone is looking for a quick pointers on what not to do, ^^; this might be helpful.

every time i think of you v 1.0

Ao Neko Amaru. *^^*  Kitty using his kitten as a test subject to improve his "chibi" style. ^^;


Sorry about that, honey.  But it did turn out cute, which is why Kitty posting it.

Also, thanks to the FurAffinity coder ninjas for all their hard work.  No one congratulates them for the 99%+ uptime, but everyone blames them for the outages, and they are becoming rarer and rarer.  Still, Kitty wish they hurried it up a bit. ^^;

In health news... Kitty taking a bit of a downturn. >>;  Gall bladder problems, I'm afraid, mew. TT  Will ask the doctor about it tomorrow or Friday.

all the roads that lead you there

A quickly cleaned quick sketch of Fawn.  Something very quick, so... mew.


In health news, Kitty feel better. ^^  Still under doctor's orders to rest, though, and will probably will be for at least a week.

close the blinds and shut the door

So my kitten had been sick, last week. TT  Of course, it made Kitty wish he were over there to make my kitten feel better...


I posted on FA that Kitty gonna start asking pplz not to get all sick when Kitty himself is not feeling too well... <<;  Kitty is the one who needs all the care, and luffings and stuffs, lately. >>;  Plus, how can Kitty care for his favorite people, if Kitty all sick? TT

Speaking of, yay, health report behind this link..

Kitty sorry to be bringing icky details on his personal life on his website, mew. TT  However, Kitty also know a few people worry, and it's probably a good idea to keep everyone informed, just in case, mew.

So... yeah... ulcer gone, or mostly gone... not bothering Kitty much, which is good.  The bad news is that Kitty think that the treatment was overkill. Oo  Liver... mew... feeling resentful and stuffs, with all the meds and stuffs. TT

And... it gets worse, of course. <<;  Seems Kitty has now developed a kidney problem -- yay. >>;  It might be a kidney stone... TT not sure yet...

Kitty has been to doctors to look for patches, mew.  A cortisone shot, if you will -- a boost, a quick fix to keep Kitty running.  Unfortunately... well... that has consequences.  Kitty simply NOT taking care of himself.  That's the underlying problem, mew...

I believed this whole icky series of events was a wake up call.  Now, I believe it was a desperate cry from Kitty's body to simply stop being so mean to himself.  And it's interesting, you know... how it takes a bit of a minor crisis, for Kitty to consider implementing lifestyle changes...

tl;dr, take care of yourself.  SRSLY.  In my case, I will make those changes I've been wanting to avoid for years.  Partly... that's why I'm shying away from "plump" and "chubby"...  Mew, that serious...  It does appear that there is no such thing as "healthy" fat.  Mew... take it from me... ulcers, stomach problems, kidney problems, liver and pancreas problems, back pain...

Kitty will live.  Kitty will take care of himself, from now on... Kitty no want to go through this ickyness ever again...

Kitty will miss a lot of things, though. TT  And strangely... the thought of such things now is a bit nauseating. oO  Funny how we're bound by our bodies like that...

put another dime in the jukebox baby

The oC session with PK and Amy is live, on FA!  Need to have the mature filters turned off, though.


Regarding my "Maverick" McCain avatar: Some furries found it objectionable, (go fig...) but the point remains that OMFG Y DO THEY INSIST ON BEING MAVERICKS? >>;;;  Even the hopelessly un-funny SNL pplz noticed this much. <<;

This Maverick very displeased. >>;  Kitty need ice cream. <<;

if the sky can crack v 1.0

Thyme, space kitten.


First of the "level two" artworks.  Again, you may not "see it," but it's there.

Kitty starting to feel less ashamed of his work. ^^

i think it's time v.1.0

Ginger.


Although I'm leaning towards making my girls... leaner, >>; I've also decided it would be a crime to make Ginger into a skinny girl.

It's probably clear why. ^^

all in your innerspace

Fawn, probably my favorite picture of her, and a crowd favorite, in both sides of the Pacific. ^^  Title from a song by Underworld.

Funny how I never actually posted the finished version of this picture, on my site.  Verily, I had neglected to update my site for too long.

(I just wanted to use "verily" on a sentence) ^^;

Ooh!  Before I forget... there's this online comic (yeah, Kitty know...) that is a parody of superhero comics, (again...) but in one of the episodes: a few of the heroes are paying their last tribute to Captain America, and amongst them, is Thor, who keeps saying "verily," until the last panel, when someone tells him to stop saying "verily," and I just thought it was funny. ^^

If anyone has seen that comic, let Kitty know, kthx.

can't remember my name

Ginger.  Who apparently, has lost a bit of weight. ^^;

Posted last night on FA, corrected twice -- first version at my VCL page, second version at my Pixiv page.  Barring any other whim, I'd say this is the final version of this picture.  What's with me and soft colors, lately?
