The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"

[Mysterion]

I like anthropomorphic kitty-cats as much as the next guy, but why doesn't Arex ever get any attention?

[Kaiser]

one i found on the net a few days ago

[Reverend]

I think I did some M'Ress pieces a few years back for Kail Tescar's website. I'll see if I can find them on one of my old backup discs. The only thing I remember about them is that I spent more time figuring out how her shoes would work than anything else.

Great googly moogly! How many fetishes does that one image cover?!

Sincerely,

Bill

As impressive as much of the artwork in this thread is, I don't understand the appeal of a literal half-cat, half-woman. Julie Newmar circa 1965 is another matter entirely.

Is there a Caitian / Kzinti connection?

They do share a common ancestor, according to Alan Dean Foster's "Star Trek Log" series of TAS adaptations. In one book's extended scenes, on a previous ship, M'Ress had to pass herself off as a male kzin! (Female kzinti aren't sentient.)

What about that silly three-breasted cat creature in TFF?

It was never really said. However, backstage information jokingly referred to her as "a Kzinretti"!

Wasn't there also a cat-person in ST IV?

Two male Caitians, according to the makeup artists' notes. One is brown furred, the other black!

I don't usually post my character art, but here's a sketch I did & colored w/ the computer:

LT. M'RESS & CAPTAIN McGRUFF:

...I mean...M'K'Gruf...yeah, that's it. Doggians and Caitians don't get along for some reason.

Shouldn't we see four more "raisins" under that obviously-very-flimsy dress?

Well, I always come back to this: M'ress may be cat-like, but in the end, she and her race are aliens, so whatever physical similarities they have to familiar terrestrial felines, there's no reason to expect them to replicate all of the biology (regardless of Trek's "everything in the universe is genetically-similar enough to procreate" silliness - what John Byrne called the "Central Casting Syndrome"). I expect that multiple sets of mammaries are directly linked to the number of kittens in a litter, so the question is this: how big are Caitian infants? Are they more like kittens or more like humans in shape and size?

As long as we're making humanoid cats (or felinoid humans), I'm all for the tradition of 2 breasts perched up where it only takes two hands to cover everything .

Love the "Doggian," especially the little bone symbol on his tunic.

This thread has pretty well established a threshold of 'naughtiness' - don't go past what we've already got, both in the thread and links, and you should be okay. Sexy is okay, but it's better to stay away from shots whose sole purpose is sex; humor helps - if you think there might be a question about an image you feel like posting, then it's probably better not to do it.

[Redfern]

Not M'Ress (not unless she got "devolved" somehow), but why choke the forum with new thread's when this one will do?



The base figure actually a werewolf available at DAZ, but with the morphs so far provided, I was able to warp the muzzle into something marginally feline. I'll be able to improve upon it when another merchant releases a new set of controls that create lions, and tigers, and bears (Oh, my! ) and other other mammals associated with various lycanthropy myths.

To make this beastie resemble Larry Niven's (in)famous Kzinti, I swapped the included tail for a third party prop (modeled and rigged by my friend Little_Dragon) which, as you cab see here, can be morphed int a rat-like tail. I shrunk the existing ears into the mesh of the head and positioned, get this, dragon wings to achieve the bat wing appearance Niven described in his various novels. To keep this semi Trek related, I stood the "rat-cat" upon Ptrope's TOS era transporter pad.

I can almost "hear" one of the various musical "stings" used in the original series as the Kzin materializes upon the platform, particularly the one used when Gary Seven first beamed aboard.

Sincerely,

Bill

Not my work, but I just had to share this!

One Ms. Angela West has created what I think is the most "on model" of Lt. M'Ress (and yet far more detailed and "realistic" than the efforts of Filmation).

http://www.theautumncat.com/image/mresswm.jpg

Yes, I too wish the image were larger and possessing a slightly less intrusive watermark, but the positives of this work far outweigh those minor "issues".

I suspect Ms. West would appreciate our viewing her entire site rather than just a single image, so here's the link for the home page:
