Did you know that #cats have been strolling over freshly done building sites since forever?

Picture 1: shows an #Ancient #Roman roof tile from ~100 AD found in Gloucester in 1969. Cat prints, unlike human & dog prints, are fairly rare from this period.

Picture 2: shows a #medieval (~12th c.) floor tile from St. Peter's church in Wormleighton with little cat prints on it.

Picture 3: portrait of 1 of my kitten's paws because life's meaningless without showing off what makes you happy.

European folklore claimed that "cynocephaly" (dog-headed people) inhabited far-off lands. They were frequently depicted as aggressive and violent, barking and howling. However, a few cynocephaly became Christian. Most famously, St. Christopher was sometimes depicted as a cynocephalus.

Challenge was to use both photo-editing and blender render to make an art which kinda gives vintage feel with lighting and scene colors like wall mounted old picture feel.
