ArtistEpic watercolor and ink illustration of anthropomorphic cats dressed like a legendary New Zealand rugby team, aligned on a rugby field, performing the ancestral “Timatanga” haka. Powerful, warlike stances: wide legs, tense bodies, fierce eyes, tongues out, arms crossed over chests, one cat making the thumb-across-the-throat gesture. Strong sense of ritual and unity. Dramatic low-angle composition, monumental silhouettes. Explosive black ink strokes, deep shadows, expressive linework, ink bleeding into dark watercolor washes. Limited palette of blacks, deep greens, muted ochres and stormy blues. Wind-swept atmosphere, heavy clouds, the stadium reduced to abstract shapes. Raw, hand-painted texture, visible paper grain, splashes and imperfections. Mythic, intimidating, ceremonial energy. Not photorealistic.
