Tiddles’, the ship’s cat of HMS VICTORIOUS, at his favorite station on the after capstan, 10 July 1942

Tiddles was born on HMS Argus and later joined HMS Victorious. In 1940 became the official Captain’s Cat on HMS Victorious. In his years in service, he travelled over 30, 000 miles. He was often seen at his favourite station, on the aft capstan, where he would play with the bell-rope.

...I taught my cat to roll dice lol

Naming a cat ‘Tiddles’ is like asking god to bestow the soul of a demon unto the cat

The resident ginger ninja (Tiddles) went to the vets for a check up to see how his mouth is healing up. He had to have 15 teeth taken out! He's doing well! They gave him a small shot to help him heal up more and he's back to the vets in 2 weeks time for the final checkup! 🐾❤️

Plot marker: Tiddles The Rat is getting old and in the last couple years of her life.

Note: I've already artificially extended her life, since she had a real world inspiration.

i love the CLINTs being sensetive to the space because it implies that rolphus tiddle is sensetive to the space and i think he would hate that with every bone in his body

my sister after the ad in 316: I love hearing what the Tiddles are up to. Zyxx doesn't have Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it has Checking In With The Tiddles

Hello, hope your having a great day!!

Do you have any tips regarding stylising slugcats in different ways?

HI thanks, i am indeed having a good day thanks for asking!

as for your question, im not entirely sure how to go about answering it, however i can give some tips for developing a style, just in general

do you have any artists you like? im sure a lot of you guys have heard the "take what you like about your favorite artist" speil, but i find its a little more that that.., a lot of times what i find myself doing is taking an image that i like, and well, trace it (its not just tracing work with me here lmao)

alternatively i draw against it, if that makes sense, like use a reference, which is also really helpful because im not relying on the image that much (especially because i cant focus on looking at the drawing and the picture at the same time, so usualy i just look at it and draw from memory, would suggest, sorry for the tangent tldr use reference sometimes too! dont just trace lol back to tracing though ig lmao)

for this im going to be using this image

and the program i will be using is firealpaca (its a nice free software i like using for digital art, but thats not important right now)

i start off with this generally, as you can see, the image is lower opacity, on a separate layer, and although its not rainworld, its the first thing i saw mildly interesting on pinterest lol

alright now i have the iddy biddy bits done, i traced over the general pose, and now im ready to move on.

here is where its a little more than tracing

i turn the original picture off, and lower the opacity of the traced version, and then just, draw over it i guess.

i like to try to think about how the body would, idk, fit there, like if i was there how would i look? would i be stiff? relaxed? so on and all that. the goal here is to learn from tracing it, not just trace mindlessly if you get what i mean. be mindful about what your drawing

anyway heres the next stage, as you can see i wanted to deviate from the original image, that way im not making a carbon copy of the image. i do think the image is pretty good for practice though, as its a pretty dificult pose (at least for me) and i can use the (albeit very little) knowledge i have on foreshortening on the arm, idk man its a really cool image and i like how challenging it is, i really had to struggle to make it look right.

i wont be adding any more detail to this, but its generaly how i go about learning and tracing art

side note, im sure you've heard of this before, but dont post art you traced as yours, and if you do, add the original image before your drawing, and give a disclamer

awf man i lost my point, but i put too much effort into this to delete all of it

anyway im gonna be making something else to make up for this im sorry lmao

I went to the mall and like. Why is it so big?

Also shout-out to the hot topic employee who saw my dilemma that I didn't want to go between two wheel chairs because I didn't want to impede in their space even though people were already passing between them. They was very nice and waited with me.

As you can see the anxiety is attacking me. So now I am nesting.

Does anyone else have THE GIANT FUCKIGN URGE TO BABY ALL OF YOUR STUFFIES

I don't know what that urge is but it's a thing I guess. They must be fed, watered, and tucked in. And sometimes they cry but that's okay because it's okay for them to cry. Because crying is a natural body response.

ALSO DID YOU KNOW THAT STORES HAVE SALES AS A BUSINESS TACTIC TO GET PEOPLR TO BUY MORE THINGS. ITS SO CRAZY

I ALSO GOT A CUBE DUCK LOOK AT HIM HES SO YELLOW AND CUTE

I ALSO ATE PANCAKES FOR DINNER BEST SPRING BREAK SO FAR
