The everyday life of a cat who isn't a cat...
Katnip pixelart by me!Katnip was created by me in 2005 to serve the purpose of making Flash cartoons with a character who was easy to animate. He's basically a box with arms and long pointy ears. Also I can't stress this enough; he doesn't act anything like a cat. He doesn't like fish or balls of yarn or even milk, so don't even think about saying "Here kitty kitty" if you don't want to make him mad! Basically think about a human who's brain is stuck inside the body of a cat. He has his own house and a job working at a factory warehouse carrying boxes and having races on forklift trucks.
I really didn't want to create just another cat character, with all the stereotypes that cat characters have, such as purring or getting chased by dogs. Its been done a thousand times and its used. So Katnip just looks like a cat, thats the only thing that relates him to them.

First rendered colour picture of Katnip, drawn and coloured in Flash. I'm not really happy with this, I don't know why, he looks kinda weird. Anyway, the shading's quite good.

Katnip sketches in blue biro, I sketched while bored at work. These were the first pictures I drew of him. I drew various poses and stuff to get used to draw him. Because of his simple nature, he is easy to draw in many different poses. These also include my first coloured picture of Katnip.
