I’m working on a cartoon cat for a personal project. Figured I might as well make a WIP thread here. The goal is to model, texture, and rig the character. I expect progress will be a bit on the slow side, but hopefully eventually I will finish it. 
Here is the concept art:
Here is the model so far:
Looking good.
Do you cartoon often? You have a good eye for it. Not every artist can cartoon even if they can make photorealistic drawings.
I’m and on-again-off-again drawer. I’ll go crazy for a couple of months, and then stop for a few months, then go crazy for another couple of months…
This character design took me a good six months or so to work out, and to get decent drawings of. The concept art makes me look more skilled than I really am. These are the best drawings out of a lot more, most of which weren’t very good. 
i like that 
i will stick to see the final model

It will only get better from this point on…
Love the cat!!! cant wait to see it in 3D O_O
And it is coming out nice already.
Great concept, and nice topology. Can’t wait to see what develops. Subscribed.
Keeping an eye on this for sure.
HAR!! Nice to see you getting a start on this. It’s a cool concept.
BTW we just acquired a young cat a couple of weeks ago. Watching his antics has gotten me inspired to break away from human characters. I’ve even been shooting some vid ref. (His first encounter with snow was a classic!)
Cat’s bodies can be so expressive.
Good luck man, nice start so far.
Cool Nathan I am an on and off-drawer too. Looking great so far.
Loving the character, can’t wait to see more
A quick update. I slapped in a super low-poly body (just for working out proportions), and added ears (not yet attached).
Looks just like the concept! Keep going!
Another update. Just worked on the body. I tweaked the face a little bit too.
None of the pieces are connected up yet (ears are separate from head which is separate from body).
I Think I had a cat that look like this. Great cat, but would not take crap from any body or thing. Mean, but friendly to his peeps…
Looks Good!
Added temp whiskers, and made more face adjustments. It’s hard to get the face looking exactly like I want!
Aah, but it will when you animate I’m sure. I find it hard to model in a neutral pose, when the character I want has so much life!
Might try making the brows more pronounced, and even harder and straighter, chin more defined, and more straight lined with the nose. I think you need some more squared off features to achieve the look you have in 2d. Anyway it’s looking great, can’t wait to see it move.
