My Dragon Cat

That is a painting inspired of my Norwegian cat. I really think he's a dragon sometimes, I wanted to express that feeling in here by exaggerating the parts of his body I think have something to do with a mythical creature.
The style and color scheme was going around 19th century war paintings and portraits while the pose, exaggeration and pattern in the background are inspired from ancient Asian art.

Here is a picture of the model, awesome big, gentle, stupid and super gay Ungaro in his prime: 3.bp.blogspot.com/_fdx-rdXezw4…

EDIT:
Ungaro passed away a few months earlier this year. He had been sick for a long time. It was a difficult decision to make, especially for my mom. She couldn't come. I hold him until he was gone.
For a cat he was loyal, friendly and incredibly patient. He knew no fear and hold no apprehension for people. He occasionally got stuck in a neighbor's garage or their truck. He was a kind and loving animal, who kept the family together on a common ground of tenderness and affection. He's in peace now.
