I had to go down the rabbit hole..

This, it turns out, is a modern illustration to a childrens book from the early 00s written by Madonna. Yeah that Madonna.. the singer who sang "Like a Virgin" and so many other bangers!

From wikipedia

It'll be OK. The 00's were a quarter of a century ago.

It's a sign of a painter that knows their strengths and limitations to replace what would've been a horrible looking cat with the armor that fits a cat.

The illustrators who worked on this book are Olga Dugina and Andrej Dugin

Both can draw cats perfectly fine

Mainly for Cats, but also for Mice. I love his “Black Night Jousting Mouse" armor:

but now no image appears...

i never get it working in the browser

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

because it's an URL of a page displaying the image, not the direct URL of the image itself.
