How's this?

I would've put it in an svg file, but GIMP wouldn't let me 
It's in a BMP file, though.

Great start, that was amazingly fast!
Let's see what feedback others give on ways to improve it.

A few thoughts: maybe make the eyes looking more at us, instead of down and to the front of Scratch Cat?  And I know this one'll be hard, but make him wave at us? (I don't even know what that'd look like...)

Ok, I made the eyes look at you, but I'm not really sure how to make the wave better. I kind of thought it already looked like the Scratch Cat was waving.

Yeah, I was thinking that if the arm was raised higher is would look more like the cat was waving.
The only thing is, the arm would kind of be covered up by the head if I raised it any higher, and it would kind of look weird if the arm was in front of the head.

Good? I used the scratch font! (well I made it in scratch so I had to edit to get the - and !, both of which I did by editing the 1)

Hmmm....I like the comic look, but I think the "Good bye" text is a bit too big and colorful.

If only I was better in art...

I have a great idea for this, but it would require a lot of work and talent...

Well, I'll just share my idea here.

Here it is:

There is Scratch on a sailboat, facing the opposite direction from who's looking at it (you), thus away from the screen and toward the background, while the water has little waves. A small island is in the background, where the cat it looking, and it has mountains, a nice beach, and a bright sun above it, in a cloudless day. Perhaps a lens flare would make the effect better. So, yeah, the idea is Scratch cat is sailing away from the island of Scratch in the background on a sailboat, off to a distant island (another website). Scratch is facing away from whoever's looking at the image, if I didn't make that clear. That probably means it'd be a custom image of everyone's favourite feline. _meow_ is leaving the great island nation of Scratch!

Yeah. If I was better at drawing, I'd do it, but I'm pretty much the worst drawer in the school.    If any other better artist wants to use my idea, that's kinda why I put it in this post, so go ahead.

Edit: Eyes moved upward

That's quite cool, but I hope you don't mind me asking: why is the river in the sky? At least that's what it looks like.

There!

Heres my entry 



I know the scratch cats not waving, but I liked it. Thanks to PaperMario123 for the basic idea, I tweaked it a little/ a lot (I took the idea of the scratch cat not facing the user)

Here's my attempt...I took fungirl123's nice boat image and moved it a bit off-shore so that I could put the "Land of Scratch" in the foreground with Gobo waving goodbye.  It may be too detailed now though
