About the Catpack
The idea for the Catpack originated when the family dog innocently stumbled over our smallest and youngest cat who was lying on the floor in the middle of the room. Our other two older cats saw this and started circling the 100-pound dog like sharks or lions, giving him the nastiest looks. The dog was getting quite uncomfortable to say the least, and stood perfectly still waiting for it to end, imploring us with his eyes to intervene. When one of us got up to shoo the cats away, they walked away together slowly, very slowly, looking back and glaring, and flipping their tails at us. They could have been wearing brass knuckles and black leather jackets with "Fight the Power" embroidered across the back. The cats appeared to be enjoying working as a team and just being bad. I should add this was a rare moment and that our pets mostly get along really well.
I was surprised by the enthuastic response that the initial Catpack image received on Renderosity. Later when that same artists' community was looking for cartoonists, I decided to give the idea a try as an ongoing comic strip. The comic strip started in May of 2005. The images are done as 3D comics in Poser and Vue, and now as hand drawings and is very much a project still in the formative stages.
The real life Catpack are all mutts and one was adopted from the Nevada Humane Society.
