Shimshi's Purrfect Sunpuddle - Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybody!


Guess whose turn it is this week, to lead the J-Cats on the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet

That's right! It's ME - the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), the Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, aka The Baby Mancat, Master-of-the-Queen's-Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard!

This week, We are sharing just one, purrfect picture of My Meowjestic Self in the middle of a Simply Glorious Sunpuddle. Neither Mummy nor I can get over how absolutely purrfectly it came out. Mummy says it was almost a shame to start messing around with it for artification purr-poses and I tend to agree, except for the fact that I would neffur fur-give myself for using anything less than the best for Our Caturday Art this week.

So for starters, here is the Glorious Original, in a frame created by LunaPic:














It wasn't until after We went over to BeFunky and started artifying it that Mummy noticed my reflection in the floorboards!


Artification no.1 uses the BeFunky AI Enhancer and the Underpainting effect, with one of LunaPic's simple, elegant frames:












Next, We achieved a completely different effect with Pen Art 1 at about 85%:













And finally, We allowed Ourselves to be a bit more artsy-fartsy with Crayon GFX.












All the frames are from LunaPic.


Which do you like best? Let Us know in the comments section below.


Next, here are the blog hop badges:


        



In other news, Mummy wants you to know that earlier today, She posted her own bloggie which, apart from some video clips of recent concerts by her Caterwauling Club and lots of pictures of the nature hike She went on the week before last, contains some useful information of a techie nature, about a new app created by Our Clever Uncle D.

And now, it is time for Us to start hopping. We will be back again next week, COD-willing - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Meanwhile, be safe. Be well. We love you all.

Shimshi , artwork pictures really made your eyes pop. You look quite handsome. Thanks for the heads up about your mum's blog so we can look at it later. It's still bitterly cold here but at least we have no new snow the last few days.

Shimshi what a fantastic 😎 cool selfie, there is something totally serene about it! Love the original for the light capture, and first artification for subtle enhancement of the light. Love the second art effect one for the texture and the increased visibility of the reflection, and the third one has such lovely color!
