Description
Why the fireflies came to bother him, he'll never know. Perhaps they were attracted to the brilliant fuchsia-violet orbs that incessantly materialized around him whenever he conjured the rainstorm. But this time, he didn't even want it to rain. It just happened. And because he hated fireflies with such stubborn contempt... he was grumpy.I wanted to paint a kitty after reading the manga "My Cat Loki" by Bettina Kurkoski. It just came out over here this month. Already addicted!
Yes, he's my original character. You won't find this story in the manga.
No, you can't have him. Mine! *whisks him up in her arms*“those dang fireflies” Copyright © 2006 Tracy Trowbridge "Machine-Guts"

I think this one must be my most favourite of your works. He looks adorably miserable; there's hardly anything in the whole world that looks as miserable as a wet cat, especially one that doesn't want to be wet, which should cover just about most if not all of them. And the concept of a cat who is able to conjure up rain sounds like a wonderful contradiction of terms, considering cats' usual attitude towards water of any kind.
Good to see you're back and in action, too. That was quite a sudden disappearance act you did. I do hope that whatever caused it has been sorted out and that you're doing well. Best wishes

I added this to my wishlist, so i thought I should comment on it. I really like how you did the rain and everything.
Just curious, are you planning on doing anything else with this character? Does he have a name?
I hope you draw more pictures of him!
