I made this to represent my depression and the effects it's had on my life. My cats are my favorite things in the world and I wanted to try and include one in my project. I made it look like a Coraline cat because it is more deformed, sort of like the inside of my head. The tree is Tim Burton style to make it seem haunted and deformed similar to the cat. The tree has a hand reaching into the food bowl which is empty because I have have disordered eating due to my depression.

Watching

Their stares pierce through her skin

Past no longer defining

Haunting memories within

Broken at last

All that remains

Is a sliver a glass

Covered with stains

Deceiving them with a smile

I looked up images of cats in order to find one that I could mimic and then eventually morph it a bit so it's a cat inspired by the Tim Burton movies as well as the Coraline cat. This is my recreation of the cat head I found online before I would change it to look like how I wanted it.

I looked up Tim Burton cat online and I found a body that I wanted to recreate because I was looking for a side profile of a cat sitting and this looked the best. So, this is my recreation of the image. After I made the body I finished sculpting the head into a less realistic cat. PS there is no tail yet because it is going to be extremely thin and it was just going to break anyways if I tried to put one on before sticking it to my wall relief.

I looked up Tim Burton tree on the internet and I found an image I wanted to recreate so I first traced a basic idea of the size and shape and slipped and scored a stump and a swirly branch coming out of the side.

This is a progress picture of my cat and the tree placed in the general area that I was going for in the end. This picture also includes my food bowl which I plan on putting pills in. The bowl is just a basic food bowl that's cut in half so it's sort of going into my wall relief.

This shows a continuation of my tree where I began to add smaller branches onto the larger one, as well as a larger branch which is the same width all throughout that will eventually have a hand coming down from it reaching into the food bowl.

This image is after I began to add more branches onto my tree, I was done with the big parts of my project at this point and the next week was basically just me adding these branches.

This is the final product of the hand coming out of the branch on my tree, this honestly took the longest out of anything because I had to perfect the scale down the dimensions on my reference picture. In order to get it right I started with the base of the hand and then made the fingers and placed them at the correct angles according to the angle of the base (top of the palm).

In this picture it shows my cat which I hollowed out and then slipped and scored onto my wall relief, as well as the food bowl which I slipped and scored under the hand. I also sculpted a second larger branch coming out of the top of the tree.

This is another progress picture of my branches that I continued to slip and score onto my wall relief.

This is the last picture I took before the finishing touches of smoothing it out and adding texture onto the tree. I won't be adding texture until it hardens a bit more and there will be one more picture after this to show how smooth it is.

This is my final picture of the project after smoothing it out, the next step will be to add texture and then it will be done!

This is my final project with all the texture on it! I started with the stump of the tree where I slipped and scored little swirls onto it. Then, I carved fur onto the cat, and finally I carved texture onto the branches of the tree. The last thing I did before taking this picture was smooth it over and get rid of the boogers with a paintbrush!
