He's a bit bigger now than when I took the source image, but he's still more kitten than cat. He's a mess as well (and so is my house; lol). :)

Throw in some catnip and they are all kittens. :)

Yeah; believe the price to pay by cheating the system with flickr. lol

Direct link (should still work) is below, Rod.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/554 ... LCJ2IjoxfQ

Going to try again but leave all the stuff of the URL in it to see if GIMPChat can still see this as an image.

edit: argh. Forget flickr. Try link below.

He's gorgeous. (Never have been able to work 'chalk')
By the way I wan't to ask you with the last image we saw, when did his eyes stop being blue? I know kittens usually have blue eyes but never timed when they changed

Not sure what color they are now, Sallyanne; he's roaming around. I'll add to this post once I see him. Never really paid attention to eye color.

As for creating chalk effect, once you get the lines down (used G'MIC's stencil), I create a black layer and set it to dissolve and lower opacity to get the chalk skid effect. :)

edit:

His eyes are now green. :)

Thanks for the tip on using chalk
You'll have to take another photo. They were yellow/gold in the last photo

OK, Sallyanne; just took this capture. Reduced the size to keep it reasonable but retained the EXIF data. If only you knew how hard it was to even take this capture of him; not pretty, but as good as it's going to get. lol
