David wanted treecats to look non threatening and are until the claws come out. Your concept is they look dangerous, hmm not easy to have both :D

Of course, poker, Mangy Fur and the art used for treecats in the bookcovers are not particulary cuddlesome, either. (Heck, they look like Bobcats on steriods and methamphetaimes)... 8-) :D

As for the OP, improved and I for one can live with the 'horns' (hey, it's an alien species; the artist has to show this in some fashion) and maybe we'll have to accept the loss of 'Cuddles' and find a way to live with "Grumpy Cat".

An extra pair of legs isn't alien enough? :mrgreen:

Nope. Odin rode a horse that had two extra pairs of legs.

Got a late Christmas present from Genkis the cover artist of the French editions actual cardboard covers.

Image

This art has two items of intrest the net bag on Lion Heart and the treecat art on the spine, now if the center arm angle back to the hump of the mid pelvis instead of putting four limbs at the sholder would be a very good concept of six limbed treecats.

I posted here since the spine art is usually cropped

Let me just urge everybody to look at the Nimitz portrait here: http://nenethomas.com/art-prints/honor- ... n-1903-pd/

No net bag on Honor's companion, but -- I can see the Mayhew kids loving having this cat to play chase with, and I can see this cat tossing the Frisbee back (as well as delighting in a skinsuit, although *I* wouldn't want to have to tell him about the plumbing connections either).

Finally got 'round to reading the first comic. It will probably be the last. Nimitz was the worst; like an Alien-bobcat, with mange.
