After millenia of conflict the rat and cat peoples have finally come to terms . . . total enslavement of the cat people!!! [evil laugh]
Sorry if you like cats ;)
It looks very dramatic! What did you use to make this, especially the dark background?
Thanks. I drew it first with mechanical pencil and did a small amount of hatching for shading; then I filled in the background and dark shadows with the Pentel Colour Brush Pen (filled with Noodler's Black fountain pen ink). I did increase the contrast a bit digitally to really make it pop :)
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
