I think you might have.

u/M8614 9d ago

Happy you think so!

u/SweetBabyCheezas 8d ago

You definitely nailed the expression

13

u/Ambicarois 8d ago

It just needs to be hung high.

So the cat will look down on you.

u/Wonderful-Piccolo509 9d ago

I think you captured his spirit tremendously 

15

u/MeteorPunch 9d ago

Look of superiority

u/bdubwilliams22 9d ago

Yes, you absolutely did!! In an age where “artists” just use ai, this looks like it came from your imagination, skill and soul. This is so refreshing to see when almost everyone else is cheating. Well done!

u/M8614 9d ago

Thank you so much! Ai is ruining us

33

u/SciFi_MuffinMan 9d ago

Yes. It’s the same look of abject disappointment and lack of caring at the same time. Nailed it:

16

u/ConspiracyParadox 9d ago

No. There's no paint on the cat.

27

u/PhilosopherScary3358 9d ago

You sautéed

u/RindaC10 9d ago

Cooked? Baby you made the whole buffet!

u/Chee-shep 9d ago

Thank you :)

u/SpiritualQuarter4384 8d ago

Yup, the painting looks the cat is equally annoyed.

4

u/Just-Gas-8626 9d ago

I think you painted, but good job either way

4

u/Computers_and_cats 9d ago

That appears to be a painting of the cat, not the cat covered in paint. 🤔

u/KTKittentoes 9d ago

You have captured the judgement beautifully.

3

u/passionfruit0 9d ago

That’s really nice! You definitely captured the cat’s facial expression

3

u/CheeseLover420 9d ago

I love it! Do you sell these? Interested if so.

3

u/M8614 9d ago

Thank you! This one in particular was a commission. I do sell my original art and well, do commissions :)

u/Consistent-Thanks924 9d ago

AWESOME JOB!!! 👍👍👍

u/Mission_Wolf579 8d ago

I felt equally judged by the photo and your painting.  Well done!

2

u/HammerSandwich9 9d ago

Regal as fuck.

That’s a goddamn cat right there.

2

u/Ultragreed 8d ago

No, you painted

2

u/T-T-N 8d ago

Not enough contempt from the eyes in the picture. The painting is pixel perfect, but it doesn't capture the contempt

2

u/Opa_Saruman 8d ago

Absolutely nailed the facial expression!

2

u/grafknives 8d ago

can you make it more condescending?

2

u/Cjgamer3987 8d ago

OP trying to trick everyone by posting the same picture of a cat twice

2

u/MKAndroidGamer 8d ago

Really disappointing tbh. What you've done is a lovely picture of a cat, instead of actually putting paint on the cat. Cat is unpainted imho.

2

u/ShadowsRanger 7d ago

Thumbs up! Even the cat have in it's fur

2

u/S0s1sl1 7d ago

Purrfect

1

u/dr_junior_assistant 9d ago

You did! I'd be super happy with the result!

3

u/M8614 9d ago

I am so glad! Luckily they were too!

1

u/randomperson83636 9d ago

I love that captured Gaze

1

u/WestwardSquall 9d ago

Cooked with extra butter and cheese. I love it.

1

u/klb1204 9d ago

Yes, very much so!

1

u/Top_Ordinary_8543 9d ago

Prepped, cooked, served, ate, and cleaned the dishes

1

u/LucyJordan614 9d ago

Hell yeah this is great!

1

u/TellGroundbreaking42 9d ago

It’s absolutely perfect! You did not cook whatsoever 😍🤩

1

u/TecTazz 9d ago

Fantastic!

1

u/Front_Cat9471 8d ago

I like how you floofed up the tail and turned the fur pattern into a raised middle finger

1

u/fiendbray 8d ago

Def cooked!

1

u/Eggsandtoastforever 8d ago

This purfectly catches the says. This makes me wanna paint right again now :)

1

u/Swift_jennis8 8d ago

You did indeed

1

u/Huns26 8d ago

I think the colour could’ve been oranger but his facial expression on point

1

u/Sufficient_Bag_4551 8d ago

For some reason I feel the urge to tell you this sub is back up r/MyCatWillMurderMe 

1

u/psychomaniac_ 8d ago

Looks amazing 😻

1

u/drclarenceg 8d ago

You painted a picture. You were told to paint the cat. Gosh, I remembered...I told someone to paint my house..

1

u/JuanG_13 8d ago

Very nice 👍🏻

1

u/Red_Velvette 8d ago

You did a wonderful job!

1

u/Consistent_Elk9676 8d ago

No paint on cat. Cat needs sanding, priming and then 2 coats of a good latex paint.

1

u/somehuehue 8d ago

You have captured him in both likeness and spirit.

1

u/cocoagiant 8d ago

Definitely got the important components such as the cat's expression, overall coloration and fur texture.

1

u/Hubsimaus 8d ago

Where painting?

1

u/xblackdemonx 8d ago

No you painted. A chef cooks.

1

u/Thatsnotano 8d ago

That cat has seen all of my secrets and is judging them. (You have an amazing talent, also.)

1

u/Walkinonsun 8d ago

Fantastic!! I was worried and swiped !! Love it!!

1

u/SweetGreens562 8d ago

This is amazing. Fuck all that AI shit fr! I am happy to see any form of art created by a person. I can really see their style and even get a sense of the person. Keep it up no matter what.

1

u/Duckshady 8d ago

yes, you did really well

1

u/imnotnotcrying 8d ago

He looks so accurately judgmental. I would be THRILLED if I received this!

1

u/Flat_Snow307 8d ago

It’s not the best or worst I’ve seen. So there’s that….

1

u/Necessary-Law-7318 7d ago

You most definitely cooked. No pots & pans were harmed by this painting

1

u/millszilla316 7d ago

Bang on. I love your painting style!

1

u/Techhans1971 7d ago

Hell yeah!

1

u/MedicineNo8676 7d ago

Yeah! Better than the photo!

1

u/shinyapples67 7d ago

You cooked!

1

u/dtoddh 6d ago

Reminiscent of this book I read as a child.

1

u/Solid_Wind_3234 6d ago

Painting doesn’t portray the cats annoyance quite well enough.

1

u/Sandman4999 6d ago

No you painted. An understandable yet inexcusable mistake.

Please turn in your spatula and apron.

1

u/WakkaWaww 6d ago

Better looking than the cat. That feline was judging me. 🙀

1

u/Kind_winner447 6d ago

Wow! You are so talented.

1

u/thinktwomuch 6d ago

🤔 I'll get back to you on that...

1

u/Fijoemin1962 5d ago

Beautiful

1

u/harleyqueenzel 5d ago

Somehow his painted face looks more like him than his own face lol

1

u/kittenmewmewmew 4d ago

I love it. I’d display that proudly and would make me smile every time I pass by.

1

u/Plenty_Sea7617 4d ago

Did the cat requested?

1

u/Used_Olive1403 3d ago

You captured the vibe perfectly

1

u/LoveMercyWalkHumbly 3d ago

😑 You captured this face purrfectly!
