The revenge of the kittens
As I already said a few days ago, I'm abit amazed that no one else than me seem to have thought about the kitten image vice versa. So now it's time for action.

Ladies and gentlemen, the evil monster chasing cats! It's time for a revenge.



And the merchandise version of the image...



The image isn't made based on the image found on Poly, but instead the original one. The only thing I used copy & paste from Poly material is the "Apolyton.net" text, as I was too lazy to make one by myself. I also know that the background looks abit cluttered, but it has to do with the fact that I was also too lazy to properly spur it up after removing the old graphic elements. Anyway, I hope it's good enough.

Could we finally get our monster Poly merchandise?

Now it just looks like two kitties being chased by one meatloaf.

Looks like my monster picture is more like ugly. Anyway, IMO it doesn't look like the kittens would be chased, but that's just my very subjective opinion.

I second that opinion. Hanged kittens... What a positive public image.

What a nice work Rasbelin Taking into account you are gifted with graphical abilities I appoint you to the PR-manager of our monster party. I declare this picture to the official sign of our party.

Now we have to convince the other forum-members to support the monster too and join our party.

The softness of the monster or that the cats are located so that they look like they would be in the foreground?

Here's two new versions of my original monster chasing kittens picture. Now I only included the Poly versions.

Magic power? Doh... Solver, every worthy cat or kitten has a pogo stick.

The problem is that both of the monsters are already so blurred and soft in the original picture. Making the monster sharper has no real effect and if I soften the kitten(s), it only makes the whole picture look foggy. I would need the original puppet(s) so that I could take a new picture so that the monster wouldn't have to look that soft. Neither have I found any better versions on the web. This is all I can get out of the original picture, sorry.

Looks like my kitten images were totally a disaster as no one has given any feedback yet. Anyway, I was thinking of making a merchandise version of the picture with the pogo kittens, unless it's too tasteless.

It's good. It'd look better if the pogo sticks matched the focus of the kittens, though.

Thank you Ras for teaching me! Gotta visit the Zoo and see if there are cats... and if yes, change the sign there to Apolyton Monsters' Prisoners .
