#anyway. spent couple hours drawing the cats and then approximately 2 seconds drawing everything else

toki watches a certain 1998 film and thinks what it would look like if his best friends were in it

extremely silly and self-indulgent, yet i put enough thought into these to share my thought process for each design (also i made a bonus cat)

Nathan is a very goth mix of Macavity and Munkustrap. His fur is messy and spiky because it makes him look scary (same with the huge spikes on his collar)!! (the Macavity/Munk thing works personality-wise too, he's extremely intimidating but he is also a leader of sorts, and at least somewhat responsible)

Skwisgaar is literally just early Japanese Tugger, down to the little heeled boots. I figure Toki would see Tugger and Skwis similar in the sense that they get all the ladies and love to steal a show.

Toki is just a regular ol cat! Wanted him to be pretty nondescript like all those swing cats. Now, whether he has a Mistoffelees-style transformation into the bestest cat-guitarist is up to you to decide (Now. Would Skwis sing Tokis praises like Tugger does Mistos? Who knows, but I'm sure Toki would enjoy it).

Thank god for Street Cat Tugger for showing me how to deal with dreads on a cat! Otherwise I just wanted some asymmetry and stripes. Pickles has a very distinct design in the show anyways so it fits.

Murderface gets to have his vest! He also gets to be very Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus coded with his spotty appearance and a patch over his eye. The ears are a bit of a copout but in my defense I'm still not sure how I see his hair texture-wise.

Anyway, I've rambled enough. Here's what Charles would be, in this hypothetical Cats-verse
