The purrecious gem for May is the Emerald, but if that is too purricey the gift for that special someone, then we suggest Lily of the Valley for the purretty lei, tail corsage, potted upon the verandah, or in the bouquet to garnish the locally caught seafood suppurr, nya!

The images include illustrations, photos and mixed medias, nya!
Some of the art might be sexy or depict the tasteful nudity or semi - nudity, but none of it is porn, nya! The most recent pics will be the lowermost row of the cropped widdle "thumbnail" sized portions of the pics in a gallery, and you have to click on those to see the uncropped full pics, nya! This month we have added 5 new pics to Guest Gallery 5, and 5 new pics to Gallery 8, nya!
we are pleased to purrsent the "
Ancient Catgirl" by Rebecca Brogden, nya! Tefnutella Sekhsyna (purrnounced tehff newt tell ah sexy nah), or just Sekhsy for short, is the purrofessional Egyptian hieroglyph, mural & graffiti artist, nya! She is glancing over the shoulder our way, in the short, tight, bare-midriff, halter-neck Lavender dress trimmed in the Gold & Lapis, nya!
Then we are delighted to display Rebecca's"Prehistoric Catgirl", nya! She used the pencil, pens & colored pencils on the toned papurr for this image of Naomi the aerial hunting / fishing guide in the short-sleeved, low-cut Leopurrd skin crop top and short slit skirt, happily riding bareback upon her Pteranodon friend Donna, whose sister Ptera and brother Noah are flying in the background nya!
Nextly is Rebecca's illustration of "Lady NaGa" nya! Rebecca used the Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop CS6 & the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet for this image of Lady Anna Conda NaGa, who is is one of many NPCs in Mike's monthly anime-ish tabletop RPG, nya! If Anna looks somewhat familiar, that is because she was inspired by the character Naga the Serpent of the Slayers manga & anime, nya.
She is also inspired by the great mewsician Lady Gaga, nya! Anna is the human / faerie sorceress & biological mother in law of Rebecca's character Nystia Nightshade, nya! Anna is in her magickal Black leather bikini armor with the sword and Diamondback Cloak, nya! Purrhaps y'all have seen the pics of Nystia, Anna's son Jonni, cousin Meryl, and Anna's younger sister Maddy, nya?
After that, we are elated to exhibit Rebecca's illustration of Misty Hopkins's ch
aracter "Tabitha", nya! Purrhaps y'all have seen the other pics of Tabitha in our galleries, nya? Rebecca so purrfectly captured the lovely image, spirit and minute details of that sassily sexy, cute catgirl, from her ears, hair, tail and tummy to her tattoos, piercings, bracelets and boots, nya!
Tabitha is wearing the tight tube top to match the Pink strands in her Honey Blonde hair; the unfastened, frayed cutoff denim shorts, the thong panty, fishnet thigh-highs, and the choker collar to match her strappy, mid-calf boots, nya! She has Green belt & serpentine arm band, the star & paw purrint tattoos, and ornate piercings in her navel, tongue and all four ears, nya!
After that, we are elated to exhibit the scene of the
"Girls 'n Ponies" by Misty Hopkins, nya! Misty used the pencil, pen & Crayola colored pencils for this illustration that Mike commissioned to commeowmerate the 1st anniversary of the adoption of the Banker Ponies Wildstar Blaze & Jimbo, who were the graduation gifts to Tara-chan & Trini-chan in May of 2017, nya!
In the pasture at Rika & Nico's farm on the Southwest side of the island, on the left is Tara-chan wearing the short-sleeve knotted White shirt, Blue jeans shorts & Pink Wellington boots with her Chestnut - colored Banker Pony Wildstar Blaze; and on the right is Trini-chan wearing the cropped Purrple tank top, Brown shorts & Pink Wellington boots with her Dun - colored Banker Pony Jimbo, nya!
We are happy to purremier Mike's pic of our friend "Purroxima", nya! Mike used the pencil and pens for this drawing, with the bit of Photoshop CS2 and the mouse to spurruce up the colors of the scan, nya! Purroxima is one of the North Carolina Outer Banks Nekomimi Yosei (catgirl faerie) in the Repurrtory Company at our island's forest grove Ampurrtheatre, nya!
She is purretty and peppy in the off-shoulder, bell-sleeved, cropped diaphanous top with the synched purreo low upon her hips, accessorized by the bracelets and the purrrl necklace, nya! She rescues abandoned & endangered people & critters; she likes to play Yarnball Lacrosse, and take naps in sunny gardens and warm laundry baskets, nya!
Mike's two companion pieces of the
“Formula 1 Driver” & “Jaguar Driver Catgirl", nya! Mike used the mixed-meowdia for these two sepurrate illustrations which were commissioned by our friends
Meesha DJ Walker https://www.facebook.com/meeshadjwalker and her husband, nya! Purrhaps y'all have seen the lovely illustrations by Meesha, Misty and Rebecca in our mewseum, nya?
Meesha and her husband requested the customary driver poses with one hand upon the hip and the helmet cradled in the other arm, but other aspects were left up to Mike, nya. The Ferrari driver has the Red, Black & White fire suit & helmet with Gold sunglasses, whilst the The Jaguar driver has the kuronekomimi helmet and the British Racing Green fire suit which is unzipped to reveal her cropped tank top, nya!
Nextly is Mike's "Elf Trek" homage to Bob Peak's poster art for Mike's favoritest movie Star Trek - The Motion Picture, and in commeowmeration of the 40th anniversary of Wendy and Richard Pini's Elfquest comics, nya! Mike used Photoshop CS2 and the mouse for this impurroved color version of his 1984 Black & White fan art that appurred in vol. 2 of Yearnings, the official Elfquest fanzine, nya!
In this image, substituting for Star Trek's Kirk, Spock, Ilia and Enterpurrise are Elfquest's Cutter (top left), Skywise (top right), Leeta (center) and their palatial spaceship, nya! We hope that eventually there might be an Elfquest movie too, nya! You know, Star Trek - The Motion Picture will be 40 years old in December of 2019, so Mike will purrobably want to artistically commeowmorate that too, nya!
Mike used Photoshop CS2 and the mouse to digital color his scanned pencil drawing of “Onsen’s Eleven”, which depicts the naga, centaur, faerie, succubus, foxgirl, pixy, nekomimi, human, gynoid, elf and mermaid at The Kitt Inn’s onsen (hot spurrings), nya! Here the undressed ladies enjoy the delicious, nutritious cran apple nummy berry appurrtizers as they await the first round of cocktails, nya!
There is artistic nudity, but the view of boobies and crotches is conveniently blocked by the poses and the rocks, nya. The soothing moonlit soak is in the inn's Dogwood Bath, which is larger than the nearby Sakura Bath, but it is not as hot as the Maples Bath, and like the Scarlet Star Bath, the water has the scintillating rejuvenative purropurrties, nya! Meanwhile, it is also time for
the May 2018 edition of The Mew, nya!
The Mew is short for The Catgirl Critics' Media Mewsings, our local monthly "show" in which The Ladies of the Mew and our 'Purrducer' Mike discuss & review fun stuff, such as movies, TV, mewsic, toys, books, comics, conventions, etc, plus the monthly "Lightning Round" topic & Celebrity Catgirl Spotlight, nya! There are occasional intermews with special guests too, nya!
However, since The Mew began in May of 2007, for every May edition of The Mew, we try to do the special grander bit, nya! So, for this month's 11th anniversary, in order to comeowmerate Mothers Day, hundreds of purrticipants from across the county have gathered to "mominate" our favorite famous fictional moms (and aunts from movies, TV, music, books, comics, games and other media, nya!
Speaking of our anniversaries, it was in early 1998 when the purre-purrroduction phase of this site began, spanning until the 2 years later when Catgirl Island went online in early 2000, nya!
