This IS art indeed; can't call it "traditional" though:)

This is a wild painting. I wish I had it hanging in my house.

'Traditional' for this community means traditional medium. So this qualifies.

'Average Cat' by Walter Morino. 1960

Is it Molino? I'm having trouble looking up their other works but I don't want to claim I know better after two searches.

The Cat of Caerbannog!

A few seconds ago...

"SAY 'PSPSPSPS' AGAIN! SAY 'PSPSPSPS' AGAIN! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE-DARE YOU, MOTHERFUCKER! SAY 'PSPSPSPS' ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!"

Dude at the back's headed for a plate glass window just to get away from that cat.

I found https://70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io/walter-molino/ but I couldn't say if that's slop or real. The Internet is dead.

Proof that a housecat absolutely should be able to solo a level 1 party.

Fixed to Molino.

Looks like that time my brother tried to give our cat a bath.

Call me crazy, but I have this weird suspicion that Walter Molino was a dog person.

Edit: Or a misanthrope, I suppose.

"look at the bones!"

Strangely calming

Unless one of them maxed out their handle animal skill. A housecat would require a skill of one or two at the most.

When Walter Molino forgor to feed his cat.

A cat can't even take on a common villager. And a single level 1 character should be killing at least a couple villager, unless they roll bad.

The pussy only attacks men?

Client to the veterinarian:

Can you trim his nails after the exam?

Menace to Society

Goddammit, Donut!

What about whiteboard marker on tablet screen?

Fun fact: RAW a cat can't jump in 5E (2014) because they have a negative strength modifier.

It's a rabbit hole, that’s for sure. Reckon it's legit though, no idea why.

The tumblr version of this blog seems to have posted Walter Molino stuff as far back as 2018, so I'm inclined to say not slop.

PSPSPSPSAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I'm imagining the scene playing out in slow motion as Ave Maria drowns out must of the screams, whilst that cat leaps from face to face, all nimbly bimbly (sic?).

Reminds me of the time a dog wandered into our backyard and my parents' cat jumped on the poor thing's back and dug her claws in.

It's a joke from 3.5. Cats are hard to hit due to their size modifier. Commoners have 4hp, minimum damage is 1. Cat has to hit 4 times to kill, commoner has to hit once but the math is not in their favor.

It's funny because he treated the subject matter (cat) with the same energy he put into his disaster paintings.

The fact all 4 faces are similar makes this feel a bit AI-y
