Artist's Comments

Alternate title was "The Heart-Throb and The Original Conjurer" but it was too long.

But yeah, remember that 'Cats' kick I mentioned in my journal?

So here we have the Rum Tum Tugger atop a battered old couch. His legs are both under his massive fluff and hanging on the other side of the couch back. His insane coloration comes from his costume in the DVD version of 'Cats' I found on YouTube when he was played by John Partridge. He's so damn sexy! You need to watch this ([link]). He nearly hits Misto with that ball he kicks. XD Anyway, then you can see why he has both leopard spots and tabby-ish stripes. I changed the black to dark brown because it looked better. And he's wearing his spiked collar, it's just eclipsed by his massive neck-fluff. He's based off a Maine Coon, which is generally held to be his species. So most of his bulk is fur, but he is also bigger than Misto because Maine Coons are some of the biggest domestic cats.

And then we have the Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, the original conjuring cat. I based his coloring off the very same DVD, where he was played by the adorable Jacob Brent. Here's his song ([link]). I love his entrance! Although this coloring is based more off his chorus version (dubbed "Quaxo") than his official Magical Mr. Mistoffelees outfit, where he's all black but his face and tuxedo bit. Anyway, he's smaller (and wearing a bowtie 8D ). He is based off an Oriental Shorthair, which are adorable cats. It just hit the right kind of slinky-sleek and thin look I wanted for him. Oh, and you can't tell but he has a yellow and a blue eye. It makes him look more magical, and I was looking at =Candra's art of Misto. Albeit I made the eye colors in the opposite eyes that Candra did, but still I'll give inspirational credit where inspirational credit is due.

oh i love it. i havent watched cats in forever. Magical Mr Mistoffelees is my favorite. i love his song. . . .and now it will be stuck in my head for a while. . . . but i love this drawing. they are so cute :)
:iconcheshirecatgrin:
I seem to be awfully good at getting songs stuck in people's heads...

They are such cuties. I wish I wasn't allergic to cats and that my dad didn't hate them.

But I have decided when I get my own house (or apartment that allows pets) I'm getting myself a tuxedo Oriental Shorthair just to name him Mr. Mistoffelees and a tortoiseshell Maine Coon just to call him Rum Tum Tugger. And I'm getting a ton of allergy medication too XD

well i wish you lots of luck with that. if not i can buy them and you can come visit. inot allergic to anything :D

But that would defeat the purpose! I wouldn't be able to wake up with a massive fuzzball perched on my chest and possibly suffocating me with his fuzzy weight and then say "G'morning Tugger. Now get off of my chest ya great lump." I wouldn't be able to freak out because I see a moving shadow out of the corner of my eye and then realize "Oh, it's just Misto being a sneaky little magical cat."

I think I can deal with the allergy medicine/possible allergy shots.
