"Familiar Waters"

This is a painting of my cat Nathan. I feel like i really started to play with patterns and different little forms of repetition with this one. The Octopussy was originally supposed to be more purple in tribute to the great Ultros (FF3) but the color ended up way more grey and I just used purple highlights. I feel like he looks friendly.

There's an obvious Murakami influence on this one, I'm a fan of his work and I guess that shows here ha ha. I wanted to try something a little simpler but also with a little more lively and repetitive background. This one was actually a lot of fun and maybe ill try something just like it on a much larger scale soon. The background has a really nice red in it too that was almost accidental, i dont think this picture does it justice.
