Wouldn't dreamy for a cat mean visions of little mice dancing around his head?
Sorry, too lazy to photoshop it myself, I'm turning off my PC and heading home. :-) |

First inspiration: Wayne's World dream sequence. Deeleeoot, deeleeott!
I was more serious with my second attempt. I associate flowy white curtains with dreams, so I tried to bring those out along with the shadows in the room. I ended up getting a big white blob above the kitty's head, so then I smudged the background to death. I softened the whole image in Neat Image, and then dodged and burned to bring out highlights and the kitty's markings.

He actually said "I hate meeces to pieces." His name is Mr. Jinx, and the meeces names were Pixie and Dixie. I'm full of useless knowledge! |
