CATS - victoria and mistoffelees refs

Added 2021-01-06 08:13:01 +0000 UTC

a quick visual ref for a couple of my fav cats! i've been pretty settled on their designs for a while, just had to tidy something up for em. for these two, i strove for very simplistic designs first, something that was the Absolute Basics of my cats style - but it was important to me to make them feel distinct at the same time, with their smooth, moon-shaped heads. the two share a lot of visual traits as they're siblings in my canon :> the moon imagery is kind of giving me light-and-dark-sides of the moon vibes. it wasn't my original intention, but maybe that's something i can explore later on

it's interesting, heterochromia was a trait i wanted both cats to have separately, so it's more of a coincidence that i wanted both siblings have it. for more fun facts:
- mistoffelees having heterochromia is inspired by some old art by candra on deviantART, i remember when i was first getting into CATS their mistoffelees art really inspired me - so when i think about mistoffelees it's hard to imagine him differently
- and victoria having it is inspired by the fact that it's a fairly common trait in solid white cats (same with her deafness, as it's common in white cats with blue eye(s))

next post should be patron rewards sketches, i still gotta wrap those up! sorry for the delay with the holidays and all
