This is an image I've made as part of an Art-Trade with cbalk193 ([link]), portraying her OC called "Frightful John". I've mostly used this image as a reference: [link]

Here's her part of the trade: [link]

It was a bit of a challenge finding the right gap between our styles, but I think I've found a way to draw him so he's both recognizable and drawn in a style which I can call my own. Getting out of my "comfort zone" is what doing these art trades is all about. :)

If you want to do an art-trade with me as well, let me know by sending me a note or check out my journal entry :).

That's it!
Hope you like it :)

I like his little tea lifting contraption.

Thanks!
I figured he'd need a little something to be able to drink his tea in a tree. No idea why I wanted him to drink tea in the tree in the first place, just came up with it and figured it would be a nice fit :)

I'd like to have tea with a view...lol
I just noticed his hat :XD:
Are you ever planning to write a book or tv series with your characters?

When I have more skill with creating storyboards I might do comics or something. But I definitely don't have enough skill to write a book.

Also this isn't one of my characters (as you can read in the description, it's created by cbalk193) :)

Can't wait to read your comics!
(Yes I noticed but you're the one who actually drew it!)

First of all, I love you.
This is so perfect. His face and everything is spot on and it's just the right balance between human and cat! Also, I love his little tree dumbwaiter! Thank you so much for this!!!

Just realized I forgot his right whiskers (fixed!). x/

Anyway, I'm glad you like it! It took multiple attempts before I had is face right, I even made some mistakes in my first sketch's composition.
But I'm happy with how it turned out. This is probably the brightest drawing in my gallery. :)
