Passport - Ink drawing, 21 x 16cm, Inktober 2024

-And this is?
-Pūciņa-the-kitty-Hive-Kitty-Pass! Hive Kitty Pass! Hive Kitty Pass! Hiiiive kitty paaaass!

I have completed the entire week of Inktober! ^^ 7 freaking days of inking and posting! I can give myself a pat on the back as this was difficult.


Here is how my typical day went this week - wake up, drink a gallon of coffee (I am exaggerating, please, do not drink a gallon of coffee), drag my rusty corpse to the desk, sketch, ink, take photos, edit photos (mainly cutting and sometimes adjusting the brightness), add photos in post, compose post, post post, engage on Hive, drag my dead corpse to the bed, then repeat.

No, but really, I love it!

That said, starting tomorrow, I will post three prompts every three days. I hope this will make me less dead, and I will have some time to touch the grass. I have to harvest some last things from my garden too.

But let us get back to what this post is about. Today, the prompt was - passport. Whaaat? What the heck am I supposed to do with this? I am still salty at Inktober for trying to push some themes this year. I am not going to draw just a typical passport! Nope! At this point, I almost considered going off the beaten path and making up a prompt myself, or possibly prompts.

Then, I remembered the scene from The Fifth Element with Leeloo. So here is my recreation of the scene, but instead of Leeloo, we have Pūciņa!

The process. I was tinkering with the facial features for some time so that it is not some strange kitty but my kitty Pūciņa. I think I got pretty close at the end. Adding ink into the mix changed things dramatically at times. That meant going back to some details and making adjustments. I had to resist my impulse to scratch the whole thing and to start over completely. But I pushed through. I am glad I did. I can be way too critical of myself.

Aaaalieeeen! Please, come and play with me! I am here, not on the paper!

Pūciņa is the cutest! How could anyone resist the cuteness of this magnitude?! >^.^<

Song of the day: Accept - Koolaid

Sort:  

I love the fact that it's recognizably Pūciņa and not 'just a cat'. This is SOOO epic! ^^

edit: and it DOES look like she's not amused with this authoritarian bullshit that requires her to show her ID.. xD

Really nice work.
The cat looks like it was forced to take the picture, she's kinda given the side eye😂.
Nicely done, well done 👍🏾.

Thank you @manuellambert!

Ahaha, yea she is probably side-eying the authorities that asked her for the pass.
