Squirrels, cats, Yuuko and stuff

Below this cut, you will find a picture of my cat, and a picture of my progress so far on the Yuuko pic I talked about in a previous post. You will also find some squirrel pics.

No, the squirrel has not been back; I just hadn't taken the last pics off my camera. They were from the last day that the half-a-squirrel was outside my window, before I called the apartment complex and had them pick it up. I shot a few pics of it staring at me suspiciously before it scampered off in a threatening manner.

So I invite you all now to sit back, have a drink to fortify yourself, and stare deeply into the...

BEADY EYES OF EVIL!!!

(which are slightly out of focus because I was shooting through the window screen)

















And now my cat, going "Oh, god, she's got that flashy thing again; I'm going to look away and pretend I don't see her." The pink fuzzy thing was knitted and sent my by [livejournal.com profile] sparkylibrarian, and my cat has this bizarre relationship with it: when she feels lonely, or when she's forgotten I'm in the other room, she'll carry it around and mew piteously. The moment you go pet her, she drops it and ignores it totally.




And now the Yuuko. I decided to go for simple, and also to zoom in tight on her because the full-body pic just wasn't working for me. The background is a copyright-free needlework pattern from one of those Dover books. I plan on doing it in marker. Exactly how I will accomplish that, I have no idea whatsoever. Will finish the inking Friday or this weekend.




And in other other news, my TiVo knows me: it captured A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum without me even telling it to! Whee! I had it on tonight as I inked away at Yuuko, and now I shall fall asleep with my head full of "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" and "IIIIIIIII am Miles Gloriosus! Cooooooooonqueror of thousands!"
