That's one serious looking furball.

Looking good. Some whiskers would finish him, or her, off nicely. :)

Evil looking beast. I don't like the gleam in its eyes!

I thought of adding some whiskers, but none of the Monster Scenes artwork shows the cat as having them. I suspect Dr. Deadly singed them off in one of his nefarious experiments...

The cat’s cage was sprayed with Tamiya IJN Sasebo Arsenal Grey (XF-77). To vary the surface a bit I also hit it with slightly lighter Tamiya Neutral Grey (XF-53) highlights in an airbrushed cloud pattern. Unfortunately, this color variation proved to be so subtle it wasn’t even visible!

Image

Oh, well. I tried it again adding a similar cloud pattern with darker Tamiya German Grey (XF-63) shadows.

Image

This worked better, but I wonder if it will even make a difference once the weathering effects are applied..?

And now... Rust!

After wetting the entire cage with paint thinner, I applied exaggerated rust effects using Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, and Burnt Sienna Winsor & Newton artist’s oils.

Dr. Deadly may have been an evil genius, but he clearly wasn’t much for maintenance!

Awaiting his fate in Dr. Deadly’s dank laboratory...

our caged cat is definitely NOT happy–

...but perhaps a poorly secured door will be his chance at freedom...!

Excellent work on the cage but keep the door locked. We don't want that thing loose.
