Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day 2013

Cat-erwaulers

These poor Pirate Cats have been sitting around half painted since before Christmas. Finally got around to finishing them.

 

Quit while you're a head

Just playing around with different shaps for Pirate Cat heads.

 

Pull up a stool, Matey...

I'm working to flesh out some of my Pirate Cat designs. I posted a sketch of this guy over 2 years ago and thought he had such great personality that he was a natural cantidate to paint. The fun part was figuring out just what type of cat he should be. Here he is, in a shadowy corner of the Keelhauled Kitty Pub, regaling listeners with a tale of his adventures.

This reminds me of something Neil Gaiman said: “Anyone who believes what a cat tells him deserves all he gets.”

Expo Ahoy!

I'm going to the Creative Talent Network Animation Expo this weekend, so I threw together this postcard to promote my blog, and specifically my Pirate Cats.

 

Will you be at the Expo?

It's a baby! It's a cat! It's a pirate!

What more could you ask for?

Aarrrggg!

Yes, another Pirate Cat. And he likes to wrestle.

The spoils..

Sing a song of Pirate Cats

Oh sing us a song of cats on the sea
For though they are brigands, they're braver than we


For these lowlife felines, the sea holds allure
When staying ashore would mean jail time for sure

But life on the sea's not the parole you might think

'Cause in prison at least there's no chance that you'll sink.

A Pirate Cat's Life For Me

Pirate Cats- Marooned

Feline Freebooters

That's right, more Pirate Cats

It's a bit hard to tell what's going on with the bearded guy on the above right sketch. I was going to have him heavily tattooed. The fish above his eye worked out ok, but the ship on his chest is pretty pathetic and the more I tried to cram some form in there to add some structure the worse it got. Oh well.

Aarggh- Color Ahoy!

It be Pirate Cats ye be seekin'?

Sure you've come to the proper place...

Meow! Aaarrg!

Mer-Kitty & a Pirate Cat

Even More Pirate Cats

For some reason, I gave this first one the big coat cuffs but forgot the rest of his coat. Oops! Even if you're a bloodthirsty Pirate Cat, your dog will still love you.

Revenge of the Pirate Cats!
