I'm reopening these because I enjoy doing them (and I'm finally warrior cats brained again. for how long who knows). I would've just reblogged & pinned my old post about this but I'm doing these in a different way now (and my art is better than it was back then) so. new post
Hypokit & Hypoparent Requests: Open
I'll put additional info like rules n stuff as well as art I've already done under a read more, but there really aren't any particularly crazy rules or anything, so you'll probably be fine even if you don't read them.
So.
The Rules
Rule 1: Please try not to request any ships that are closely related.
Considering that the Warrior Cats family tree is more of a family wreath, I won't hold it against you if you genuinely did not know that a ship you sent in was closely related. I think the Erins also do not know when two character's they've paired together are closely related.
Rule 2: You can specify an amount of kittens that you would like in a request, but please do not go above 5
These already take a while because I'm doing them digitally instead of traditionally like I used to, so in order to not spend my entire day drawing 5 bajillion kittens, I'm setting the limit at 5. Also if you don't specify a number, I will simply have a random number generator pick a number between 1 and 5 and that will be the amount of kittens I draw.
and that's it, that's really all the important shit. If I think of any more important rules I'll edit this post to add them later, but for now yeah just. Don't send in any ship too closely related and don't ask me to draw a billion kittens.
Now for possible questions!
Question 1: What are Hypokits?
Hypokits are just... the Warrior Cats equivalent of fankids. Fanmade offspring of a ship, it's just that in this case these hypothetical children are kittens because the characters are cats.
Basically it's asking "What if (Character 1) and (Character 2) had kittens?"
Question 2: What are Hypoparents?
A similar concept to hypokits, Hypoparents are asking about a possible change of the parents of a character or characters.
Something more along the lines of 'What if (Character 1) and (Character 2) were the parents of (Character 3)?"
Question 3: Can I use any of these designs?
Yeah go nuts dude. The moment I post any kit designs or any of my personal designs for canon characters, I am releasing them into the wild to go be the fire that saves our clan. Anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with them.
Literally my only rule about using my designs is that if you use the actual art I drew I'd like credit for that, but the designs themselves are free for anyone to use.
Question 4: How many requests can I send in?
As long as you're not a dick about it you can send in however many you want. Now that doesn't guarantee that I will do every request you send in, but I am doing these for fun so the more requests I get the more fun little kitty cat designs I can draw.
Now for some art examples!
These are generally what you should expect. As I improve my art I hope to do better poses and improve even further on the designs I make, but the more important thing is that these will be done digitally, whereas in the past I had been doing these traditionally.
Drawing these digitally takes a lot longer than drawing them traditionally does, but I feel like it's worth it because they look way better this way.
I think that's everything for now. If I think of anything new to add I'll either edit this post or reblog it with something, idk.
this took hours to finish, but i love these designs actually (especially the blue eyed tortie)
i don't think i've ever heard of redtail x barley as a ship before, but i dig it. it seems fun.
while i was working on this i started imagining that these kits exist in an au where redtail didn't actually die in into the wild and instead wound up staying with barley at his barn after tigerclaw tried to kill him
anyways i'm pretty sure there has been no actual info about barley's dad (and i'm pretty sure his mom still doesn't have a canon name) so there is nothing stopping me from sticking with the same headcanon i've had since i was a kid that barley's father is bone.
speaking of barley i went with a design somewhat based on his graphic novel design (like what i did with brindleface). i liked his sliced ear and his funny little mustache. i wanted to give one of his kits a mustache but none of them had mustache vibes. maybe if i get another barley request there will be mustache vibes, who knows
it’s sooo funny when rude customers encounter employees who can deny them service for the first time.
i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.
so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”
And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”
I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”
And he was so astonished he didn’t even argue he just turned around and left 💀🙏🏻 it was like he suddenly became self aware
One summer I was running ferry rides across a lake so people could see the waterfalls without walking 6 miles when a guy snapped my bra strap as he was boarding the boat. So i immediately threw him off, he started yelling for my manager, my boss cheerfully informed him that, yeah, she’s the captain of the boat and she can kick off anyone she wants. He goes to storm off, looks expectantly at his girlfriend, and she just goes, “Well, I’M not walking six miles, Michael! I’ll meet you back at the car!” and sits right back down!!!!
The expression on his face when he was told that he couldn’t get on the boat, then immediately told that his girlfriend was ditching him? PRICELESS. he just blinked at her and then stormed off like a child. I gave her a free hat and was like maybe rethink this relationship…….
i once had this fucker come up to order a beer. while i pour it he shows me the wanky fucking chemical structure tattoo on his arm and he’s like “hey. you know what this is” i was like “nah sorry” (never cared abt chemistry in school, plus having to look at a some rando’s pretentious tattoo gives me the douche chills). he decides to respond with “heh. you must not read many books”
i immediately stop pouring his beer. i reply: “heh. you must not want this beer.” thirsty boy immediately starts groveling like a worm “please please no i do want the beer im sorry im sorry” believe me when i say it was one of the most pathetic things ive ever witnessed
I genuinely believe that part of why it has become so normalized to be openly callous and evil in politics is that customer service culture has trained affluent people that they can treat everyone they consider beneath them however they want and still be treated kindly.
i think i forgot to color one of leafpool's patches but oh well
these would be different if i went with a more canon look for both of them, but i like drawing bluestar's family as colorpoints because it's cool. and this particular brindleface is based on her appearance in the graphic novels, since i thought the torbie look was nice
honestly i love the concept of Leafpool & Squirrelflight being brindlewhite kits, there's a lot you can do with that idea. Especially because that would mean this version of Leafpool & Squirrelflight are full-blooded siblings of Ashfur & Ferncloud (or perhaps they have swapped parents/places with Ashfur & Ferncloud so those two are Firestar & Sandstorm's kits instead)
I imagine that this version of Leafpool & Squirrelflight would have different names, but I'm not good enough with names to think of anything. Plus they could keep their canon prefixes and have them still make sense, as Leafpool's tortie patches give a reason for the "Leaf" part of her name and gray squirrels exist so Squilf could just be named after a different kind of squirrel. I'd say "depending on when they were born they could get totally different suffixes then" but unless they were born before Into the Wild they would still be getting their full names during Firestar's time as leader.
I was. supposed to get this done a long time ago oops
I try to make these as genetically accurate as possible, but that can be hard to do because canon doesn't really give a fuck about genetics. For example: Frostfur being solid white despite her parents being brown and black with no white. I remember making a post a while ago about how it was bothering me that Frostfur was solid white despite neither of her parents having any white, and somebody suggested albino Frostfur.
So! Frostfur is albino here. We have no idea of knowing what color she is under that white, regardless of if she's albino or dominant white or has 100% white spotting, so based on her parents I just had her as genetically solid black.
You could actually get canon Brambleclaw from this, as him being a "dark brown tabby" means he's probably a black tabby and you can get a tabby from these two. But I decided it would be a little boring if this Brambleclaw looked the same as canon Brambleclaw, so he is instead solid black here.
I had to give Mothwing something similar to the moth shaped face marking that I give her when I draw her normally because. I have to. It's cool. I also tried to make her chest fluff and a patch on her back also sort of moth/butterfly shaped. Still because it is cool
I don't know shit about eye color genetics, so I have no idea if any of the eye colors I ever do for these are genetically accurate/possible, but I simply do not give a fuck about that
