About 2 months ago a new fiend...er....feline was introduced to my home. His name is Sebastian, and he is a Tuxedo kitten. He was 3 months old when I got him, and pretty sick, though it was just a bad case of the kitty flu. He's now 5 months and is the most adorable little trouble-maker that I know, waking me up every morning (and I mean EVERY morning) by either biting my nose or rubbing against my face until I get out of bed and feed him already.
As is my custom with anything adorable an fuzzy, I naturally had to draw him. Only fair, as I've drawn my other cats. So, below is the adorable Sebastian, debuting here for all to worship and adore:
When a kitten gets sick, the way Sebastian did, his inner eyelids (a third eyelid inside his others) swells. Sebastian's did, and though the swelling has gone down quite a bit, it never truly disappeared, giving Sebastian a constant, and slightly adorable, appearance of glaring. It really is adorable on him because he is so tiny and fluffy, he has the longest fur of any cat I've ever had the privilege of serving.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this bit of fluff to brighten up your mornings.
Sebastian was drawn in Adobe Photoshop using the brush tool to create the basic color and shape, the Burn and Dodge tools to create the shadowing and highlights, and the smudge tool to do all the detail work (giving him the lovely fuzzy appearance....love the smudge tool!)

Aw, he is adorable. Looks like our cat, Kitty (very original name, don't you think? It's actually my grandson's cat; I think he should have named him Socks or Boots because of his white paws.)
Your phrase "the privege of serving" was not missed by me. Reminds me of the saying, "Dogs have Masters, cats have Staff!" So true.
Cute post, Anika. I wish you and Sebastian a long life together... along with Andy and Shadow.

As always, thanks so much for the reply and the feedback. Sebastian is my sweety: all tiny and adorable and it was a lot of fun drawing him. And yes, that phrase about cats and staff is exactly accurate to most cats attitude! (I think my Andy kitten is the exception, as he doesn't care if you are staff, master, or whatever as long as you pet him and feed him he is happy)
Buzz it!
