In which the artist realizes they're much better at painting suits of armor than cats.

Gotta play to your strengths!

I would hate to have to paint a cat. I can't even get them to sit still

Cone of shame has really evolved over time, hasn’t it?

It used to be a Cone of Honor.

Remove the Cone of Shame.

Attach the Cone of Triumph!

the fucking long sabaton

LUL! I thought it was tail armor at first.
Seeing they were sabatons after your comment—that got me by the bubu!

[–] iAvicenna 5 points 4 days ago

oh man and the front paws resting on top of the sabatons, this is just genius

As ~~a frog~~ a human being who just happens to know a lot about frogs, but is not one, I can confirm that ~~we~~, I mean they, wear armor often.

My cats would hate that

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

that's a buff cat if it can move in it😂

Being liquid, it could probably just leap out and up the curtains to the arrowloopsill if it senses danger, leaving the suit as a decoy.

Armored Cat used substitute!

I think a cat is more of a light armor type

edit I don't know why I'm on a kick about posting multiple gifs in a row to say what I want to say, but I am

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

That's a chonkin' neck guard. Like Garrus' in the Mass Effect series.

It makes the armor look like a pitcher.

Anyone know the original painting? I need to hang this on my wall.
