Dear Santa, Thank you for bringing me a hooman of my own. I promise to take very good care of him and not let him do too much stoopid. There will be milk and cookies made with the very best Nip -- but no bad stinky Nog! -- when you come to visit again. Love and Merry Meowmas, Binky ******* PRODUCTION NOTES: Mixed media work made with Photoshop, Corel Paintshop Pro and some other apps that I am trying out/experimenting with. Inspired by some excellent paintings I saw when looking up a couple of artists mentioned in somebody else's credits at another site. Also thanks to GillB, who while helping me to sort out a fur problem in a very early draft turned Binky's eyes blue. So I took her suggestion and ran with it. Probably ran right on past it, since I'm pretty sure she never meant they oughta be *this* blue. ;-) CREDITS: Adam Wright's Photoshop Actions Megapack, formerly available from the Renderosity Marketplace. Catchlights Brushes for Photoshop, Elements & Gimp (used here for eye reflection painting on the character, not the cat -- though they probably have those too) are freeware with credit when using but a paid license is required for commercial work. You can get them, and a whole lot more cool stuff, at obsidiandawn.com OTHER NOTES: Whatever you celebrate, if you celebrate, may your Holidays be joyful. I wish all of you comfort, peace, good health and happiness. Because if one thing is certain in life, we could all use much more of that. :-) *******
