Blurb
Gaming and cats go together like ice cream and sprinkles. They are there to comfort you when you get 'pwned', and keep your legs warm when you’re sitting for hours on end. Of course, they can also get in the way, like when they decide that your chair is now Their chair. Or when they think you're ignoring them, so they get your attention by blocking the TV or nomming on your controller. Aww, but you still love 'em.
Background Information
This artwork went through a lot of iterations to get to its current form.
Pew Pew Mew Version 1
|
Version 1, entitled Pew Pew Mew, was drawn on my iPad using Procreate. I wanted to create something that went with my brand's tagline, Graphic design for goth gamer girls. I came up with a galaxy-themed cat holding a video game controller in his mouth.
|
|
With Version 2, I wanted to make the artwork much more polished and neat. I also wanted to vectorise the artwork in Illustrator so it could be resized for any possible print on demand requirements.

I attributed the lack of sales success of Versions 1 and 2 to their unusualo colour scheme. For Version 3, I went more conservative, with a black cat and a white controller.
But still, nobody seemed interested. |
|
I came to the conclusion that my cat, while rendered well, was nowhere near as CUTE as I wanted him to be. I needed to up the cuteness factor!
So I studied real cats faces, to see what I needed to change...

Comparision of Pew Pew Mew Version 2 and 4.1
After the mockup was made, I created the new version in Illustrator, and changed the colours to a white cat with a yellow controller.
