Description
"Hey Diddle Diddle!The Cat and the Fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the Moon;
The Dog laughed to see such sport,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon."
- Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes
This was an image I have been doing for some time now. In the mist of trying to recreate Puss and Boots, I decided to find yet another character to try to "re-create". I found my old Beatrix Potter books and read Cat and the Fiddle. Granted that it doesn't make much sence, but I thought of several stories that could fit this. I also bought a few Violin music cds to get my insperation alive. After a month, I thought of an interesting Modern twist to Cat and the Fiddle using the Cat himself, laughing dogs, bovines and the moon...but I have yet to incorperate the Dish and Spoon.
Anyways, here is my drawing of an "action-packed" Cat and the Fiddle, drawn with pen and colored in Photoshop. I really want to get into character and concept design. I will upload different styles of the Cat and Fiddle.

Dish and the Spoon, hmm? Are all of the character literal versions of the items/animals in the tale, or are you taking some liberty with the rhyme?

And what a twist it is! You've taken something that has been around for years and incorporated your own idea, tweaked it just a little bit and came up with this fantastic little picture diddy! I <3 it much.=3

Looks like a cartoon/movie poster. Very well done, as always.

If there's anything that inspires me, it's something familier in a strange new way.
Fantastic job.
