It has been a long time and a lot has changed since I made this, but I'd like to share it again because it was the last big animation project I worked on and I'd really like people to see it.
I could have done something more experimental for my final student film, and from some of the reactions I got I maybe should have, but I really wanted to create something with levity and just have fun with it. I think I gave some people the impression I see animation as "just cartoons" but honestly I feel quite the opposite - that "just cartoons" are as deserving of artistic acclaim as serious films. Part of art is stirring emotions in the viewer, and joy and laughter are emotional responses. I don't like that we treat them as cheap in the art world.
Unfortunately, though, this... Failed on all fronts haha. Still, I hope someone out there enjoys it.
A gift portrait painting of a cat named Caramel ( Melly ) for one of my long term patrons! I enjoyed painting her rather complex fur pattern which does remind me of an actual caramel (=`ω´=)
mom and i met Caramel! along with Brownie and the other foster kitties :]
his fur is much longer now! i don't think he's actually a domestic shorthair like how he was listed LOL
he's also very sweet! he was pretty sleepy when we got there because he was playing with Brownie in the crate and im sure being around so many strangers tires a little guy like him out
he was very interested in chewing on my jacket and fingers and then he started falling asleep in my arms i wanted to cry i was so happy
ANYWAY this is why i've been really slow on the pet paints these past few days! i've been researching literally everything about owning cats, kittens specifically, and making sure i have enough knowledge to care for him (and possibly Brownie if we convince my step dad!)
we're gonna, hopefully, be filling out adoption forms for this little cheeto! i'm so excited
My friend sent me this dangerously delicious and addictive popcorn today as an early holiday gift. 🎁 Guys…they are seriously delicious and I just can’t stop eating…😱
Cheddar cheese and caramel flavor…
Kitty is happy that he got a new box 📦 but I’m going to give away bunch to some friends so that I won’t eat them all by myself!!!
