A storyboard-style layout for a cel focused on The Nyafia.

A storyboard-style layout for a cel focused on The Nyafia.

A screen-grab of a grainy VHS recording of an episode of Door2Door, drawn in Medibang Paint Pro.

The Nyafia, a small-scale body of criminals made up of three mobster cats named Lock, Stock and Barrel, all loom fearsomely toward the camera. Lock (Left) and Barrel (Right) stand cross-armed behind Stock (Center), who reaches out with imposing grabby hands and a sinister smile.

The Nyafia all wear matching outfits— tan pinstripe hats with black brims and dress shirts rolled up at the sleeves, as well as deep brown suspenders. Each member has a differently colored tie; blue for Lock, yellow for Stock, and red for Barrel.

Lock is a rather tall and lithe American shorthair cat with grey fur, and her hat obscures her eyes. She wears a thoughtless grin on her face, with her tongue jutting out of her mouth slightly. 

Stock is a stout and rotund orange tabby cat with mostly white fur, though his ears and fingertips taper off into an orange fur color. He has an orange patch of fur circling his right eye, which also has a small scar just underneath it. Tucked into the brim of Stock's hat is a playing card; a red ace of spades. Stock's eyes glow intimidatingly amidst the dark, blue scene.

Barrel stands small with a surprisingly well-built frame, arms crossed with a snide grin. His fur is dominantly orange, though he has crimson stripes on both sides of his face that are the same shade of color as the tips of his ears.

The three stand in a dimly lit alley flanked by the sides of neighboring buildings.

Gigi Dempster and her best friend Lulu Kendler stand inside the lobby of Avant Garde Video, a video store the pair frequent every Friday, in complete and total awe. 

Gigi, pictured on the left, is a possum who stands at a small stature and is wearing a crimson orange hoodie with an orchid yellow hood. The hoodie's edges, specifically around the waist and at the ends of the sleeves, are also of the same color. She also wears dull turquoise jeans and red sneakers.

Gigi's fur is mostly a warm grey, though her ears and arms fade into a darker fur pattern. Her small hands and jagged tail are the same shade of reddish-pink as her nose. On her face she wears large, black circular-lensed glasses, and she has a large, poofy tuft of hair jutting out just over them.

Lulu, pictured to the right, is an alpaca who stands at an incredibly stall stature thanks to her comically long neck. Lulu wears a dark navy short-sleeved shirt with a chardonnay thunderbolt symbol on its front, as well as light carmine pink jeans and goldenrod sneakers. A small pastel magenta bow is adorned just underneath her ear.

Lulu's poofy, wooly fur is a merino white color, though her heart-shaped nose and hands take on a darker coriander shade. She has two poofy tufts of fur jutting out from both sides of her face, as well as a large tuft of hair jutting out above her forehead.

The duo stand in the lobby of Avant Garde Video, a video store. Its walls are painted a shade of apache yellow, and boasts a shaggy venice blue carpet with a dark grey welcome mat just in front of the interior's entrance. 

Just behind Gigi and Lulu are two large glass windows as well as a pair of glass doors, allowing a glimpse at the dark blue city street just outside.

While I'm working on the next Door2Door cel, I thought it'd be fun to post some comparisons of two previous cels I've drawn, from layout to final shot!

    Name: Penelope "Lock" Chekov Klawansky 
    Age: 33 
    Height: 6’7” 
    Species: American Shorthair Cat
    Likes: Working undercover, butterflies, daydreaming
    Dislikes: Making mistakes, pessimists, any problem that can't be solved with her trusty net 
    Birthday: October 24th 
    Go-To Sandwich Order: Turkey, double provolone cheese, lettuce, light tomatoes, red onions, and mayonnaise on Artisan Italian bread

Penny Klawansky, known better under her alias Lock, is the strategist of The Nyafia— a small-scale pack of mobster cats seeking to plunder Bendersville of their delicious take-out orders. In spite of her tactician role, however, Lock is best described as being particularly carefree and jaunty, and is The Nyafia's least serious member, only partaking in their schemes for the promise of sandwiches... and companionship.

However, don't let her scatterbrained exterior fool you; as a natural wanderer, Lock knows her way around every nook and cranny around town, making her a valuable asset to undercover heists. While it rarely serves useful, Lock also likes to enlist the aid of her beloved 'sandwich net', which she claims to catch take-out orders with... and if that doesn't work, take-out delivery drivers will work just fine.

    Name: Victor "Stock" Lacroix Bussini
    Age: 45 
    Height: 6’0” 
    Species: Orange Tabby Cat
    Likes: High-octane heists, organizing schemes, a good sandwich
    Dislikes: Direct violence, getting wet, being seen in public
    Birthday: May 7th
    Go-To Sandwich Order: Angus roast beef, crumbled blue cheese, provolone, horseradish aioli on a toasted bun

Victor Bussini, known better under his alias Stock, serves as the big boss of The Nyafia— a small-scale pack of mobster cats seeking to plunder Bendersville of their delicious take-out orders. This particularly strange though harmless criminal ideology spawned from his distaste from the previous mob he worked for, which violated his number one moral: "he ain't want nobody gettin' hurt".

As the head honcho of The Nyafia, Stock oversees and plans the group's many nonstandard schemes and ploys to net themselves a quick bite. Stock may boast a no-nonsense and menacing exterior, though every comical attempt of his to yoink a free meal is ultimately to share it with his fellow partners in crime, whom he secretly considers family.

    Name: Dominic "Barrel" Wescott Kiernan 
    Age: 34
    Height: 5’0” 
    Species: Munchkin Cat
    Likes: All things mobster related, taking charge, stardom 
    Dislikes: Being underutilized, walking around without his hat, the cold
    Birthday: September 2nd 
    Go-To Sandwich Order: Turkey breast, hickory smoked ham, Angus roast beef, salami, and swiss on a toasted bun

Myeh! It's Barrel's time to shine, see? Dominic Kiernan, known better under his alias Barrel, is the inventory specialist of The Nyafia— a small-scale pack of mobster cats seeking to plunder Bendersville of their delicious take-out orders. Whatever tools the pack of alley cats need for an operation, you can count on Barrel to work his mysterious ways and have it to them in a timely manner.

Characterized by his overly mobster-like personality, Barrel perfectly plays the part of an inner-city crook, and has an obsession with all things mafia related. One day he hopes to wield a genuine Tommy Gun to belt a badass one-liner, though he is restricted to a mere cap gun as per Stock's no-violence rule. Real gun or not, it spawned his trademark catchphrase slash vocal tic; RATTA-TATTA-TATTA!
