Hey everyone,

It has been a long time since I added anything Tyki related but here we go ~ Laughs ~ Though you would be forgiven for missing the connection, if it wasn't for the fact I drew this, knew the concept, and put the Teez in, I am not sure it is obvious!!

I did this using my own drawings from previous years, and a vague idea what a Neko person looks like in anime. That is probably why it isn't exactly as it probably should be. Then again maybe he would be quite different as a Neko, we can't know for sure ~ Grins ~ Oh yea this is part of a contest, it asks us to draw our fav character as a Neko and mine is Tyki so that is where this came from ~ Nods ~ Just in case you wondered why I chose to draw him as a cat in the first place!

This also has the honour of being the first thing I have drawn while sunbathing on the window sill in my TV Room as well. It was very enjoyable, people who passed by probably think I am an artist now ~ Tuts at them ~ So yea apart from the fact he doesn't look exactly like Tyki I quite like this image, it is oddly attractive in its own little way (that would be the Tyki influence no doubt!)

Err can't think of anything else to say ~ Squints ~ Close up there are errors in the shading, but from a distance (is looking at the picture from a few feet away since it is on the floor where the sun won't reflect off the pencil) it looks clean which I enjoy. I can't help but laugh at the fact I gave him vampire fangs. I think cat people in anime have fangs but I am not sure, they do have ears I know that, but I couldn't remember if they had both cat and human ears and so I erred on the side of caution and just used cat ears. Oh yea and about the collar. I wasn't going to give him a jacket but it looked even less like Tyki without one so I added it. Luckily his jacket never had collars on in my images so that didn't matter. I do suck at drawing collars from memory and my art though so if that looks wrong that is why ~ Nods ~ Oh and I added the tale to add another DGM link (the crosses and cigarette) and because I think cat people have tails, again I am not sure though!!

I shall leave this here anyway. I drew this in pencils of various shades, and err it took about 3 hours 30 minutes maybe.

Many thanks for looking

PS: The shading isn't perfect because I can't do that well from my imagination, and you don't need it much in anime so I held back in case I ruined anything - just in case anyone wondered :)
