NUMBER 1
This is the VERY FIRST page of Cat's Fur!

This page introduces Goldilox and Reat as the weirdos that they are. Lox is shooting cans with a shotgun and Reat is catching them in mid-air!

Suddenly, they hear something crashing through the forest...

The comics will follow the 7 x 10.5 inch format, even though I have huge margins on the top and bottom because I'm a total loser and forgot what size comic books are when I was drawing the pages. That will be fixed as I get through the first set of pages. I was using a tiny sketchbook at the time I started this comic (don't buy small sketchbooks.)

Cats Fur To Make Kitten Britches
First of all, my name is Kathryn DiMartino and I'm an illustrator!
Here's my portfolio already.

If you're wondering what the hell this is, Cat's Fur is a serial comic, which I plan on updating weekly (after these first couple of pages, which I'll release over the next week.)

Cat's Fur began as an amalgamation of all my characters over the years smashed together in a comic. Then I watched way too much Sgt. Frog and ended up with some little multi-colored cat villains. And that's pretty much where we are now. :D

Cat's Fur isn't intended as anything serious except in the sense that I'm serious about making it. It's an outlet for all the crazy and stupid things in my head. A sandbox in which my inner demons can come out and play, if you will. Weird things happen here... This comic is inspired by a number of things and will probably reference them, as well as a multitude of other obscure and/or cult movies, comics, cartoons, and so on. That is not to say that I'm going to let the comic be ultra-derivative and totally un-unique, but I'm not trying that hard to make it TOTALLY unlike anything you've ever seen before either.
I think it's okay to be like other things, as long as those other things are awesome.

Cat's Fur is my first serial comic, and my very first webcomic. So take it easy on me, divas! At least I'm not making another stick figure / sprite comic, right? (LOL)

HERE WE GO.

Other Webcomics


Written/Illustrated by Drew Green
This one is important because my guest page for Drew's comic is what led me to finally make my own webcomic. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to try it for myself, and Drew made it look like so much fun. So here I am. Thanks Drew, even though you have no idea that I had a nerd-fit when I got to do a page for your comic.


Written/Illustrated by Tessa Stone
I don't really need to plug this comic because everyone knows about it, but I like it! It motivated me to think of cels a bit differently. Plus it's gorgeous.

Written by Ananth Panagariya/Illustrated by Hawk
No longer updated, but I wanted to give props to the only webcomic I followed religiously, ever.

Links to Kathryn's Stuff (Again)
In case you missed my links on the About page, here they are again. Plus a couple more.
