The fact all 4 faces are similar makes this feel a bit AI-y

"SAY 'PSPSPSPS' AGAIN! SAY 'PSPSPSPS' AGAIN! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE-DARE YOU, MOTHERFUCKER! SAY 'PSPSPSPS' ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!"
PSPSPSPSAAAAAAAAAAGH!
This is a wild painting. I wish I had it hanging in my house.
Proof that a housecat absolutely should be able to solo a level 1 party.
A cat can't even take on a common villager. And a single level 1 character should be killing at least a couple villager, unless they roll bad.
Fun fact: RAW a cat can't jump in 5E (2014) because they have a negative strength modifier.
It's a joke from 3.5. Cats are hard to hit due to their size modifier. Commoners have 4hp, minimum damage is 1. Cat has to hit 4 times to kill, commoner has to hit once but the math is not in their favor.
Unless one of them maxed out their handle animal skill. A housecat would require a skill of one or two at the most.
The Cat of Caerbannog!
"look at the bones!"
Client to the veterinarian:
Can you trim his nails after the exam?
'Average Cat' by Walter Morino. 1960
Looks like that time my brother tried to give our cat a bath.
When Walter Molino forgor to feed his cat.
Dude at the back's headed for a plate glass window just to get away from that cat.
Goddammit, Donut!
Strangely calming
I'm imagining the scene playing out in slow motion as Ave Maria drowns out must of the screams, whilst that cat leaps from face to face, all nimbly bimbly (sic?).
It's funny because he treated the subject matter (cat) with the same energy he put into his disaster paintings.
Is it Molino? I'm having trouble looking up their other works but I don't want to claim I know better after two searches.
I found https://70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io/walter-molino/ but I couldn't say if that's slop or real. The Internet is dead.
The tumblr version of this blog seems to have posted Walter Molino stuff as far back as 2018, so I'm inclined to say not slop.
It's a rabbit hole, that’s for sure. Reckon it's legit though, no idea why.
Fixed to Molino.
Menace to Society
Call me crazy, but I have this weird suspicion that Walter Molino was a dog person.
Edit: Or a misanthrope, I suppose.
Reminds me of the time a dog wandered into our backyard and my parents' cat jumped on the poor thing's back and dug her claws in.
The pussy only attacks men?
This IS art indeed; can't call it "traditional" though:)
What about whiteboard marker on tablet screen?
'Traditional' for this community means traditional medium. So this qualifies.
