Description Posting this now that the convention is over. It was a blast and I will post about it soonish. ^^

So, this was the image I did for the RBW 2007 conbook cover. It was a wrap-around style piece, so the giant alien-cat's face and the the two FiB were on the front, while the lil green critters were on the back.
The theme for this year's con was FiB (furs in black) A play off of men in black ^^

And even the lil aliens on the feline's tail are based on the 'coffee aliens'. ^^

And hey there is a non-MIB reference in there, see if you can spot exactly what it is

Nice! I like cats - i like M/FiB = excellent combination in favorite colors
Don't worry, you did the cat pretty well... err... is dat big alien cat friendly or...
Actually, at first glance i too thought this is some weird version of Nekobasu, but it's better ^__^

Thank you And I do rather like Nekobasu, have a big plush of him ^_^ It wasnt my intention, but there may have been some sort of inspiration there. :3

You lucky girl! It'll pass 100 years before anyone here around me even knows who is Nekobasu, not to mention plushies - Great job anyway ^__^

Hehe, when I first saw it, and saw that you had made some sort of ref in the pic, I thought CatBus from My Neighbor Totoro. Because of 1. huge cat and 2. powerlines in the bg. Nice job!

That cat looks amazing Lol, I thought the little critters looked like the coffee aliens once I saw the mice/rats dressed in black XD

Really nice work, I do love your colouring method

Do you know if the coffee aliens actually have a name. Ive not seen MiB2 but ive also heard them refered to as worms XD

Feniiku In reply to ultravioletbat [2008-01-17 09:59:02 +0000 UTC]

They have a full name, but I don't remember it ^_^ Usually they're called worms though

DarkTail67 [2007-12-06 01:33:42 +0000 UTC]

the piercings on the cat's lowerback/rump's fin-like things are my bet for what isn't MiB-referenced ^^ hopefully no one else has commented about that, though anyway, nice work as usual, even when i'm not seeing it in a book, i can imagine exactly where does what part of the book start. i kind of imagine the middle thing part that's usually the only visible part of a book on a shelf -don't know that part's name in english- being between the front leg's elbow thing and the hind leg's knee ^^

ultravioletbat In reply to DarkTail67 [2008-01-16 11:57:25 +0000 UTC]

Hint, the reference is on the right side of the image and has to do with an old computer game ^_^

And you mean, the spine of the book? ^_^

That friend, is because he is :3 Coz Im a doom geek i really wanted to kreep some lil reference in there to Doom. Of course, that istnt actually the BFG from Doom or Doom 2 its actually the BFG from Quake 2 as I felt it looked best for the image and reference was easier to find ^^

Davin2204 In reply to ultravioletbat [2007-12-04 16:25:20 +0000 UTC]

Nice ^_^

I thought it looked familiar...I wasn't exactly sure which version of the BFG it was, though (Never used it much in Quake II...Used to much ammo XD).

Well i couldnt give an exact figure. But considering that I would actually have sleep and time to eat and small breaks to relax.

Around 4 weeks.

RFZT [2007-12-04 00:41:29 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I very much like the style and concept here. They all look very neat! Yay for mutant cats and little rat (mice?) agents/vets! I also like that they're out in a space where few...animals...venture. Anatomy on the cat is good, too.

ultravioletbat In reply to RFZT [2007-12-04 00:44:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I fussed over that cat a lot, Im not very good at felines, it seems so there was a lot of reworking that kept happening, glad it came out ok in the end though! ^^
