I love them, excuse me but are they actually drawn? Do you copy the cat from a photo? I would love one done of my cats.

Edited I need one done of my cats, do you do them for people and how much do you charge lol.

Lol. glad im remembered.

If I remember right. I spent many late nights doing these, but I really enjoyed doing all of them. Cats are so beautiful and expressive.

I got my inspiration back doing them.

So who are you cheeky? Have I missed something?
Title: Re: Cat portraits repost (previously on cat chat)
Post by: cheekee_munkee on August 24, 2007, 22:53:56 PM
Im not sure.

I have a passion for photo editing and have spent a lot of time mucking around with pics. Now got to the stage where I do the occasional wedding and do cat portraits.

I prefer doing the cat portraits to wedding photography as cats are more interesting and fun to photo. There is always a lot of pressure in wedding photography to get it right as you only have one chance.

Adobe photosh0p CS
Auto FX mystical lighting and dreamsuite plugins
Digital element aurora plug in
Andromeda red eye pro and shadow plugins

About £1500 worth of software

Took me a long time to buy them as they are all proper licensed copies

Wow I can't believe how much Bilbo has changed since that photo! I guess seeing him every day I don't notice him changing that much.

I think it's simply fab that you are able to do such things with the computer. I wish I had even a 20th of your know how!

Thank you all.

You have all been lovely.

I needed some niceness after what I have been through lately. Glad Tiffy is getting better though.

 :thanks:

 They are all still as wonderful aas before - I have my Beau & Zak portrait as my wallpaper at home, and I have printed them out real small and  slotted them in to my purse so I carry my babies round with me all the time.  ;D ;D
