Field notes

Born with feline dwarfism and an underbite that gave her a permanent scowl, unrelated to her actual mood. Her owner’s brother posted her photos to Reddit in September 2012, and the internet did the rest.

At the printer

Keep the face flat and the scowl exaggerated slightly, subtlety does not read at mini scale.
