Back in 2022, I had a weird idea for a mashup piece involving the "Mouse of Might" (Mighty Mouse) as a storybook-styled ink digital illustration. I experimented with the idea in two different ink styles that I did on Photoshop and I adore how they both came out. I took a lot of influence from both Gustave Doré (Dante's Devine Comedy, Don Quixote) and John Tenniel (Alice In Wonderland, Judge) while trying to emulate the ink quill style for both versions.

The original sketches of "Might":

Here's also a few sketches I've done last year (2023) while I was practicing on how to draw a few cats along these lines with Oil Can Harry being the main subject. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

It was honestly a bit of a challenge to figure out how to translate some of the cats in this style, especially from different Gothic influences I've been grabbing from 17th & 18th century literature. I wanted to both parody the individual source materials I would use as well as pay visual homage to them as well.

Someday, I will get around to doing the intended text and nursery rhyme format for the full-blown piece that I had in mind.

Looks like Tom messed with the wrong mouse.

you know you're old if, when you're making something about cartoons, you include these (and also nothing made after 2001)
