IF: Caged

This is Boxes, an adventurous goldfish that lives in the same library as Norton.  He gets pulled into the adventures with Norton. And of course, his bowl always comes with him, complete with his pet snail and treasure chest, filled with useful items.

Decided to use Boxes for the “Caged” theme, since the bowl is a type a cage, just a more roundy see-throughy cage. That comes with a pet snail.

Boxes is having a good time, even if he is flying through the air in the middle of a pirate battle. Maybe he hopes to make his escape into the ocean.  Or maybe he just wants to be a pirate himself.  Watercolors and ink drawing, 2 hrs.

This is Mrs. Thornapple, the Library’s resident (sleepy) cat. Really she is harmless, and Norton has no reason to fear her.  She is much more interested in napping in sun spots than chasing mice.

I need to get some more practice in drawing cats.  They, unsurprisingly (since I am very allergic to them) are my least favorite thing to draw.   I love chasing them out of my garden, but that is another story altogether.

  1. Nice one Megan! Boxes looks like he’s headed for the floor… then he’s gonna wish he was back in his “cage”.

  2. Your cat has great character… and I love your sketchy watercolor and line style!

  3. I too really like your style. Great loose linework, and nice watercolors. Really fun pictures–full of action and movement (in the first) and character (in all of them).

  4. This is lovely, I really like the movement of the fish and the water.
