Everything you need to know to draw the Yule Cat!

the Yule Cat

the Yule Cat

Meowy Xmas Kids!

So we just drew dogs (well some of us did!) since there are folks who are still just cat people, and this contest will include a lil xmas, it’s only fair that we give these giant festive man eating felines a shot at greatness!

So here’s the deal… It’s a giant Icelandic house cat. It’s giant enough to look into the windows of homes on xmas eve, check to see if a child has gotten new clothes under the tree, if not, it busts in, eats the child’s dinner, then in some tellings, eats the child itself!

Now there’s a whole rationale where supposedly, in Iceland, it’s traditional to get clothing as holiday gifts at the completion of your chores, so maybe this is just a tale of do you chores or else… but really, what fun is that? Let’s draw some gargantuan grizzled Garfields.

Here’re your official descriptors

  • Lives in Iceland
  • It looks sort of like a house cat but size-wise leans house
  • Believes fiercely in holiday traditions
  • Among those traditions is that none eaten folks be well dressed for xmas
  • Eats both people food and people
  • Generally only seen on xmas eve
  • Belongs to trolls

So there you go, Hope you all have fantastic holiday! Draw us a beast in your off time! You’ve got two weeks, send it in what you manage and we’ll throw a free shirt at our favorite!

You’ve got til midnight on friday the 27th!

Man that is a big ass hollow throated, feline, holiday eating machine! And such fine teeny tiny arms! Also I appreciate that you’ve already got this shaped to fit next years holiday cards!

While the yule cat did still get some satisfaction with every cottage crushing step… it’s thoughts kept drifting to the fact…. that it was still just another xmas alone….. awwwww hahaha!

Haha! First of all that sweater is amazing! Second you’ve (I’m assuming unintentionally) recreated the old ass Dave Duncan Alva pro model graphics on the wall, which warms my heart…. and how you accomplished both cold dead murder and stupid & wonky in the same set of cat eyes… I dont think we’ll ever know!

Funny… I grew up with outside cats, so while I’ve seen a lot of cats eat a lot of things… I’ve never seen em eat more then the head… Happy holidays everybody! haha!

Haha sooo good and a lil more stylized then normal even! I’m torn between seeing it as classic blockprinty craftsmen era holiday card… or the boss from a never released xmas video game cause some parents thought getting smashed by a house was a lil too witchy!
