BuNE CONjuration III - Some serious money sorcery (demonic summoning) ceremony / apPARition - apPEaRance

[HD]

Third and last Bune drawing for now

One of the reasons why I chose Bune is that his appearance is that of a dragon, which is fitting for an RPG-style fantasy adventurer looking for riches

Inspired by a prrompt

The non-feline pun was too good to pass up, and witches often refer to magical operrations as "Workings", so it... worked
(At first I thought of an athame knife but a sickle fits the working class thing better XD)

666 - The NYANber of the BOAST

[HD]

"Yet another 666 Followers pic, which I guess is kind of a combination of the two previous ones... (Being a Leo, she can be a bit of a show-off at times - Note her version of the catgirl paw gesture here...)"

"Another pic about sleeping I drew while I was offline,this one would be "Catnap"

Unfortunately the original pencil drawing got dirty/smudged while I was waiting to get a phone camera :/

I hope you like the textures (killing time,so I was even drawing backgrounds...)"

The cat puns are a bit rushed and so contrived but I like the drawing - In my case, it would more about being ready to draw "nut and bolts" SF (and mecha)

"After the recent posts I thought this one could be a good follow-up (...) - Perrhaps I should do more of that kind of pun between two words... -or even neKOmiMIC strips again-...)"

"More pics about sleeping (...) I think the cat pun for this one was (n)YAwN=NYAN, and perrhaps zZzZ looking a bit like 2222 (I've already drawn one for "being the cat's pajamas") - I haven't forgotten about my more big-eyed manga or even chibi style"

FOREhead / The CAT (ENCOunTers &) COunTers the COunT / CAT vs BAT / FANG IRL

[HD]

Inspired by a prrompt, although it was already in my To Do list...

I've tried to leave my "crossed vampire" gags behind, but here's another one...

I often say she's not a furry, but she's got some feline traces...

Btw, she might also be gossiping to a third person (I've just learnt that that is now called trIANgliNg, so I may make a pun with it...)

"I needed at least one SD/chibi version of my catgirl (...) I don't think she -or me,for that matter- is all that mischievous,but she sure can be secretive:remember, (The observer's) "Curiosity killed / didn't kill (Schrödinger's) Cat" -girl-..."

"Looking like the cat that swallowed the canary"

[HD]

"This idiom is supposed to convey the idea of being self-satisfied and mewschievous, so maybe my second attempt -in my previous post- got closer... But I kind of like this one for playing innocent whistling and the like"

Another face-hand close-up showing an emotion or representing an idiom... this time with perrspective

(I guess I'm not above showing disdain,but you can always think she is my catgirl's "evil twin" (a gang leader...a neKogal? XD)

Amazon Print Royalties Explained

Pretend you're an author: It costs $8 to print your book, you sell them for $20 each.

Amazon takes 40%.

The author gets 60%, minus the printing costs.

($20 × 60%) - $8 = $4 for the author.

If sold via a BNM bookstore...

($20 × 40%) - $8 = $0 for the author.

The problem with indie bookstores is that many of them only sell books by trad authors.

If you order an indie book via any bricks-n-mortar bookstore the author gets paid a smaller royalty, because they get a smaller piece of the pie since the bookstore takes their share out of the author's share.

So you're saying I'm wrong for thinking this photo shot looks wrong? XD

Mewsellanya @mewsellanya.bsky.social · 1d

I see... (*rolls eyes*)

Mewsellanya @mewsellanya.bsky.social · 1d

Does it give the drawing the feel or an artisan product or something? Or does it just look more "gnarly"? Or is it a wabi-sabi - kintsugi thing about embracing imperrfection and the scars of life?

I, the artist, didn't mean for it to look like that...

Catty/Looking like the cat that swallowed the canary

"I started drawing this one as a second attempt at the canary idiom (the first one is coming next),but then I thought I should draw a specific one for being "catty" Other cat puns: MEWSchievous, PERfidious..."

"PERish the thought!"

"I'm not sure that idiom can be used in that "ironic" sense of "Ridiculous!",but that's what my drawing is showing - She even looks older and kind of upper-class to add to the sneer..."

(Sorry for the wrinkles etc)
