I just meant, I've seen a few and thought them at least reasonably 
funny, but they don't tend to get posted in the places I frequent 
online, I guess, so I'm not familiar enough with the conventions to be 
able to tell a "great" example from a "mediocre" one or make one up myself.

As far as photos go, again, we're not likely to find a photo of a tiassa 
(though I like "IDEA CAT HAS AN IDEA"), but I can get the "big cat" 
models from Daz, which include a black jaguar, and add some wings from 
the "Night Wings" set, then do a photo-realistic rendering against a 
jungle or mountain background setting. I suppose a nice render of a 
tiassa might have some value on a tshirt or elsewhere beyond LOL. The 
models would cost me about $40, though. (Granted I could re-use the 
tiger model for a dzur.) At that point I think I'd have to consider 
recovering my costs somehow, which could mean sorting out some more 
complicated compensation arrangement with Steve (our current arrangement 
is very simple -- he gets everything).

This makes me think, however, that another fun option might be 
anime-style renderings of members of the Houses with ears, tails, etc. 
as appropriate. Sort of exaggerated representations of the genetic 
influences on each House. Sigh. Too many ideas, too little time... this 
is why I say I'm most like a Tiassa. ;)
