I managed to find the animation and original file and texture of this model (link to the post), so here are some new renders + wireframe ~

Artwork from 2016. Essence of the void and timid spark of hope~

The original post with this artwork came with some thoughts, and I decided to add them to the description again:

The soul of art is the fire of our feelings which burns in the heart, is an emotion that excites our mind, and gives us the bright desire which turns into the act of creation. When the artist creates art, it feels like an emotional dancing across the canvas (it doesn't matter if digital or real one) - and puts their love into their creation. I think love is the most important essence of art, and the most bright and strong part of any artwork. Without all of this, art becomes monotonous and empty. Without the fire inside, we lose our bold ideas, lose feelings and love. In recent times, I started to look at my art too critical, and I think that my evaluation of my art has become distorted because of this, like all the feelings are fading, and my approach to art has become too emotionless and cold. This artwork is a song about emptiness in my soul. White cat stands with his head down, and looks in the void. Black tears flowing from his eyes - it looks like a bleeding wound on his face. These tears represent sadness, sorrow and grief. A spot of the blue light near the cat's head is a symbol of the sanctity of the soul and also a hope of recovery.

Fragments and memories. My old personal artworks of Koties, fantasy felines, depicted in the surreal world. Some of these artworks are edited to make the anatomy a bit better and the colors more clean.

I'm trying to go back to my old art and give it a new life, editing some of them and trying to continue the stories of my old characters that I gave up on back then. To find a way out of my internal conflicts and fears associated with these artworks and creatures. To find a love for them that still lives in me. Each of these artworks was born in very deep feelings, and I tried to give these feelings to them again ~

Artwork from 2015, edited in 2024.

Path of life, from birth to death… of growing up, shining, and decaying. The power of life, the agony of being alive.

I think it's still my favorite hyena artwork ~

I'm not asking a question.. I just want to say ..

You and your creatures are very cool, I wish you all the best in life :)

Thank you very much! <3

Your new icon is real neat, very neat

Thank you! It is made by @verbrannt47 <3

I found some more old models, these are from late 2016 ~

A bunch of my old 3D models from 2016-2017 ~

In recent days I have been enjoying my old art, mainly drawings and paintings, some of which I am editing and improving. But there are also some of my early 3D models, and I decided to post them here!

They were made in Blender and Sculptris (for high detailed sculpts)

More hairless meow! <3

He got UVs and textures. I chose the color with black paw pads - I had several photo refs like this and they are lovely. But I will probably add more different colors. I also need to add some fur and whiskers ~

Made in Blender. Sofa model from Poly Haven.

I want to see a "Cat 3D model" sitting in a cube >3

You don't have to do this, it's just my funny thoughts.. Well, I really love cats :3

I love you and your creativity!♥

Thank you! Here it is <3

When I made the previous one, someone said that I changed the size of the cube, which is true, since I had to do this to make it fit the size of my model. But this time I didn't do it, it's 100% the default cube! And it's actually huge.

Lovely hairless meow! 🐈

Cat 3D model WIP. I've been working on this guy the last days and nights, and decided to share some of the process. He has no textures yet, but the skin-like material makes him look lively even without them. I already love him <3

It's very challenging, as it's my second real animal model and I want it to look realistic and detailed. I use crazy amount of references, trying to get everything right. Before this I only made my creatures, but I'm glad I dared to try a real cat too ~

It's an oriental cat (or rather a peterbald - they are similar but have little or no fur), these cats were a huge inspiration for me in my own fantasy creatures.

Made in Blender.

I just saw your cat paw studies (very neat, felt like tiny babey 7 year old me reading The Great Big Book of Cats) but the imagery of ‘human hand in similar shape to cats pad’ is wild. Like, idk if you’ve ever experienced such a deep visceral aversion that is sorta feels like getting punched in the chest? I started tearing up it made me feel so deeply…ain’t the lived experience grand? Anyway, thanks for sharing the drawings with us <3

Wow, I know it looks wild but I didn't expect that it could cause such strong feelings :'D sorry, it wasn't my intention! I just came up with this idea once and, although it's not entirely anatomically correct, it really helped me understand the mechanism of how cat's claws work!

Another interesting thing about cats' paws - they have whiskers on them! These are called carpal whiskers and are usually barely noticeable. I noticed them as tiny "pimples" when I was collecting photos of hairless cats for refs.

Hi! I want to ask a question<3

Do Vaerafes have rare colors/species? By the type of spotted or gradient colors and how rare are they?

(P.S. I apologize if my question sounded strange! I've been on your page recently and haven't studied it much yet)

Have a nice day! I love you and your creativity!♥

Hello, thank you! <3

Yes, I know one with black and white color, which is considered really weird so I believe it's very rare, maybe it's a mutation due to disease, dangerous energy or something like that. He is a Kotie though, but they're related species.

Another one that comes to my mind is Lash. He has white fur on black skin, which doesn't look unusual but IS unusual for a Vaeraf as far as I know. Usually white Vaerafes have gray, bluish or pink skin.

Some have a small white/light spot in a forehead, like such in horses. It's quite rare but well-known.

Subtle stripes and spots are possible but rare.

Actually, if you are interested in their known colors - I once made an illustration of all the Vaeraf/Kotie colors I know. These are just the colors of all my characters. I think there are way more variations, but I don't have so many characters :') I also know that some of them (at least in Koties) change their color depending on the season (like reddish in summer and white in winter)

Simple illustration (in two versions) that shows my speculations about evolution from a Kotie into a Vaeraf, which I drew mostly to order my own ideas, vision and feelings about them, and to more accurately place it all in my head. Looks like it’s my first artwork that actually fits the “speculative evolution” idea! :D although for me it is also philosophical in a way, as it is about growth and change.

There’s an interesting detail – it looks a lot like the same being growing up, and I think it makes sense. I have some ideas and feeling about it, but I'm not sure yet to share them. I'm also rethinking the connections and similarities between my creatures and felines, oriental cats in particular...

I drew them floating in space - this is one of the most right image I associate them with, as I strongly associate Vaerafes and Koties with space and stars ~ ✨

I'd actually be super interested in seeing some of your more stylized stuff if you're willing to share?

I don't mind to share some, thanks for your interest! I have a lot of them but I tried to choose some of my favorites:

(I used to post my stylized art on a separate account on DeviantArt, but since I left DA, I no longer post them anywhere. I was thinking about an account on some other site, but unfortunately I no longer have the energy or time to maintain even more accounts and post so many different things, so I mostly keep my stylized art for just myself and my friends. I don't know if it makes sense to post it on my main accounts, maybe I'll think about it...)
