Today's inktober. Prompt was "smack". I was pretty uninspired, so it's more a silly one! #inktober #inktober2026 #art #procreate #theuglycat #theuglycatstudio

Humorous emergency poster instructing to "gently smack the nearest cat butt" so "love will start to flow freely," shown as two panels with a hand touching a cat's rear and small icons of a grumpy then happy cat with hearts.

Today's theme on r/sketchdaily is "yellow". So I drew an egg! The perspective of the bowl is a bit sus, but it's a quick painting, so I'm letting it slide! 😅 #egg #yellow #art #quickpainting #procreate #digitalart #theuglycat #theuglycatstudio

Yesterday, it was rat time! I painted this cute rat from a 1915 book! I think he turned out pretty cute! But then again, I'm biased. I LOVE rats! You can watch it here: youtube.com/live/zFGzktc... #rat #art #procreate #digitalpainting #digitalart #animal #cute #theuglycat #theuglycatstudio

Back in the day, we took in a lost cat for a day until we found her owner. We loved her so much, but thankfully, we still see her hanging out in the alley once in a while, and she's always happy to come see us! #artprocess #bts #cat #art #digitalpainting #procreate #theuglycat #theuglycatstudio
