Victorian Starlee

SO, I wanted to draw Starlee, my friend's cat.
This is her. xD

what inspired me is that Starlee tends to lay down with her front paws crossed, similar to how they are in this picture. She looks so formal and her being a black cat makes it even more formal... Her face is also really blank, but it's also mysterious at the same time... it's like she's posing for a picture in the old times, before they smiled. So I tried to draw her here with that.

Also, I drew a picture of her earlier this year, but it looks nothing like her. xD Starlee is old, so that's why she's dressed in a Victiorian outfit.

I kept it messy because.. I find it interesting.... o:

here it is without the background

Starlee is 's cat.
Done in photoshop.

I should really try doing these in vector sometime. That would be an interesting experiment.
