deviantART Review: Best of Pirate Cat, part VI

   Aside from those apparent one-offs of pirate cats on deviantART, there are a few users who have a who series of cats commingled with piracy going on. Here as the ones I could find.

   First off, there was deviantART user FireflyStudios character Captain McSnowpaws, but it's hard to tell exactly what that was since Firefly took down his deviantART after realizing that having a public exhibit made art no longer fun. Makes sense. Nevertheless, the character was at least somewhat popular, considering there was a contest to add some wenches to his crew. Or, maybe not that popular, as the contest was cancelled due to lack of interest. You can read the full contest details, as well as more information on the world of Captain McSnowpaws, here.

   I've managed to scrounge down one of the two characters that did get submitted in time (or at least I think that's what this is,) so may I introduce you to aluinn's Damala Sevilen:

   Big Cat Designs has an entire thing going on called "Pawrates" (heh, heh) "of the Catibbean" (heh, heh, heh,) and though not all of those drawings are in the category, you can at least see some of that and get a sample here.

   Another one: Natalie Ewert, user: Natamon on deviantART, has an entire little thing going on where she takes people's photographs of cats I guess? and converts them into some really gorgeous pirate cat paintings. Admittedly this practice seems kind of arbitrary or random at first, but it's a spin-off series from her "Bejeweled" series, which is the same thing with cats dressed in beads. See? That makes slightly more sense. 

   So, yeah. You know how I'm doing this research for Cap'n Patches? Well, it turns out deviantART user Anime-Tenshi22 also has a pirate cat character named Patches. And he's a captain. His name isn't Cap'n Patches, or even as far as I can tell Captain Patches, but it's Patches nonetheless. Well then. There was a short little story (if you can call it that) for children written in Creative Writing class about him. You can see that and all of the drawings in that set by clicking the links in this link here: http://anime-tenshi22.deviantart.com/art/Patches-Kitty-cat-Pirate-129659702?q=gallery%3Aanime-tenshi22%2F632951&qo=109
