Cat Portrait (Something a Little Different) (Patreon)

So nearing the end of 2019, my sister asked if I could photoshop her cat Ludo into an old style painting. I wanted to paint from scratch but I didn't have enough time as it was a present for Christmas.

I did 3 roughs and in the end she chose to go with him standing proud in his red coat. The art was printed on canvas and looks really regal!

I wasn't sure whether or not to post these as it's not technically my drawings but I thought it'd be something fun to share  ^^ I did actually have to paint some areas (like making the gloves on the Campbell art) and doing some paint strokes on Ludo's face to set him into the picture.  

I personally liked the versions with the lute best but since they weren't chosen, the edit wasn't refined so they still look a bit rough.
