My entry for Clip Studio Paint 46th international illustration contest!

Grandma never meet such big kitty before, and is very content of such a meeting.

Are you able to find all the cats? Try to count them before you swipe for close ups and let me know in the comment how much you was able to find!

A little story:
This is a milestone when comes to my art.
If you’re familiar with my artistic output you very much know that all of my works - I don’t even count isolated exceptations over the course of more than decade - are depiction of individual animals, occassionally pairs or groups, with or without decorative elements.

No scenes - interior or exterior - no environments at all. No history behind the artwork other than history that pet owners has in their hearts related to their relationship with the beloved pet.

As long as it’s nothing wrong with that and I really enjoy drawing pets as well as I’m honored when a owner came to me to make a memorable artwork of their deceased pet, I really wanted to do something more for a very long time. I wanted to tell a story, and I wanted to make a personal art. Because believe it or not, I’m not making personal art for a couple of years already and it’s just insane.

So here’s one.

The ghosty cat is drawn in memory of my beloved Mr. Cat, who passed away back in 2022.
