Hi everybody!

After a few relaxing days of wellness and travelling in Japan around the Izu peninsula, I am now back in Tokyo for a few more days. I will spend a lot of time in parks and temples while sketching and thinking about new projects and ideas. Especially the cat token for this month.

Here are some first doodles from my sketch book.

I am torn between a living cat in a cool pose and a more stylised statue approach like old Egyptian brass figurines of cats. I like the majestic feel of those statues.

I could see a Japan inspired tiger statue.

So many possibilities! What do you think?

Let’s discuss!

Right?! It also would make it a bit different from those tokens already out there

Oh nice ideas! I like the flow and shape of the one on the left that has the black shading around it. The face on the one on the right (in the red) is also great. Nice idea as well with the monumental look.

If you did a statue idea it would be pretty cool for it to be radiating light from behind and or having Blue Lotus flowers or plum blossoms depending on which direction you choose, Like soft and or equally sharp shapes cutting the rays of light? ^-^'

I like the approach in the middle of the left page if done in the style inspired by old Japanese paintings.

Since there is the idea of a statue and there is a bit of Japanese inspiration what about kintsugi gold inlay on the cat?

I also like the almost zebra-esque mane. The shape reminds me of a kopesh

Crouching tiger hidden dragon :D yes !

Strider

That would be cool :O

How ‘bout a combination of these? Maybe a statue of a cat with a cat toppling it off its plinth (as cats are inclined to do)?

The statue works so well and also gives me a little sentimental nod towards Amonkhet, I love it.
