ArtFight Attack on Capawcinno from Twitter inspired by his sketch from about a month ago which reminded me of my days working in retail (we didn't have a fancy conveyor belt register but I thought that was the quickest way to convey "retail" nowadays!)

I decided to go on the offensive today. I picked Capawcinno pretty much at random from my list of ArtFight moots (What can I say? He has an interesting name!) ...and then realized he has 5K followers on Twitter (!)
I scrolled through his Twitter feed looking for inspiration. When I saw he seems to prefer modern slice of life, I wanted to do something like "waiting for the bus", but I couldn't find any indication of whether he takes the bus! I did find that sketch of his main 'sona going to the store and decided to adapt it to ...shall we say... a more interesting-looking character of his.

I originally thought his sketch had a US 100 dollar bill (hence the title) and spent a lot of time thinking of what Benjamin Franklin's "fursona" should be, I didn't realize it was actually 100 Złoty (or about $25 which is actually quite reasonable) until after I started!
For the 15th century King of Poland, I chose a Polecat after seeing in his Wikipedia article that he'd moved from Russia to Lithuania to Poland and Googling for migratory animals of Poland: the polecat was the only mammal on the list. No offense intended to King Władysław II. Long live the polecat king!

Having spent all that effort on designing the "furry version" of the bill, I couldn't let it be just crumpled up in his paw, but that would meant I needed a cashier! Where was I going to get a cashier? Then I scrolled back up to the top of this description.

I really hope I can post the timelapse of this one some day, it was by far the most satisfying time I've had every time the colors just ...clicked!

This drawing is on Twitter, Deviant Art, Tumblr, Reddit, Mastodon, and of course, Art Fight
