Riven kitties have arrived and I am cackling madly. Time to find frames.

@aria I do believe Mihaly's opinion is simply, "Dear, please, the neighbors are watching."

been debating another painting, sighs
throws money at screen
FINE. JUST TAKE IT ALREADY.
-
@testament OKAY.
-
@testament Never regret giving @Crawfish your money for more catraits. I've purchased so many, and I still have one huge Super Sekrit one being worked on... and my most recent alt is being cattified! Best happy money I've spent in YEARS.

I have one more coming of Mia getting into a little bitch fight with her least favorite NPC and I cannot wait to see how ridiculous and funny it turns out.

@aria One of the 'spree buys' I did was of the Blackram Family... then Ivy and Petrichor, Petrichor on his own, and Ivy on her own. I am seeking out the best framing for this because I am moving into a new apartment and I want my 'wall of Arx' to look damn good!
-
I haven't played on Arx in ages, but even seeing an OC I created long, long ago pop up was pretty delightful.
-
@puppybreath oh gosh which?
I've wondered if previous players see some of these and go "Gaaaaaaaasp! I know what that meaaaaans!"
-
@crawfish Derovai. I wouldn't claim to know the character at this point, but it was super adorable and honestly seemed in-theme even from what I did know.
I love all of them, though! You can't go wrong with water color + cats, imo!
-
I don't know if I put this up here, but I'm trying to keep an Instagram with my non-cat stuff as well as some cat drawings. Please feel free to follow! I'll follow back, I swear.

@crawfish Aureth & Joscelin have arrived and you're right, the gold paint does look better in person. SO CUTE.

@saosmash eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Apparently they're unicorns.

@jibberthehut So the larger frame is from Amazon, and I got it awhile ago when I had 2 out of the three pieces. It didn't come in a smaller size, but I wasn't necessarily planning to get more cats (and then I did, because I love @Crawfish's work and wanted to get Galen riding a shark for his player).
I got a float frame because I didn't want to deal with matting or color matching. And also, I really like the look of float frames and have some in other rooms. And for multiple pieces in the same frame, float frames are fantastic.
And then I got my third piece in the mail yesterday, and I was like, "Hmm, I'm sure that frame I bought earlier comes in a smaller size." WRONG.
As it turns out, it is difficult to find a smallish float frame. To find one in white is nigh impossible. Couldn't find one on Amazon. Ended up just googling for frames for sale. I ended up buying this one on sale from Michael's, which necessitated a trip to the store to pick it up, because they wanted more than the cost of the frame to ship it to me. Okay, fine. It's a 10 minute drive.
Except that it did not come with hanging hardware, because although the online description listed it as perfect for desk or wall, they did not provide a means for getting it to stay on the wall. Luckily, I had some hanging brackets, which I attached to the back of the frame.
So, larger float frame: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GSKZC14/ -- easy to hang, 12 x 14, $20.
Smaller float frame: https://www.michaels.com/studio-decor-expressions-float-frame/10156614.html -- not so easy to hang, 6 x 8, $8.49.

Damn, I wish I'd known about these.
