Having a crisis over art

[crisis-over-art]

I was going to start working on artfight but unfortunately i've had to say goodbye to my precious baby bunbun and am curently grieving heavily

We spent 14 long years together, but sickness and old age had taken him from me

And as much as i'd like to properly honor his life in any way possible I've been unable to even look at vegetables without crying and drawing isn't much easier

My heart goes out to all fluffs, feather puffs and scale noodles that departed from us and i hope we meet again one day

[crisis-over-art]

that sad moment when artfight started but you've been stuck at work for the entire week and before that you've been procrastinating working on your profile so now you sit on breaks frustrated over the messy layout and unfinished character sheets and profiles that you came up with at the last possible minute xd

I hope to finish all of that this weekend and start actually fighting for my team xdd

Sassie little Mousefur

I wanted to do a few drawings in that stylized style i did the prevous designs in, but of cats from my personal or my favourite queer headcanons for warriors characters and finishing that "mini series" with our one and only canon pair, Barley and Ravenpaw, buuuut~~ i couldn't manage to pull of what i did with leafpool (god i love how she came out) since i'm in a kind off slump due to the pressure of Artfight aproaching

yes i will be participating, i love this game/competision(??), but i've got ref sheets to do and i'm procrastinating which always reflects on my creativity and this semi-realistic style is my comfort so until i get my dung together this will be the default artstyle (˶˃𐃷˂˶)

~~~ anyway Mousefur! I adore her as an aroace gal🧡💛🤍🩵💜

she truly lived her life to the fullest, always loyal to her clan and always petty about the littlest things and honestly? as she should xd

her only wrong doing in life was the tree incident, but i believe her despair from loosing a friend was enough to pay for her missdoings

i also picture her and her brother Runningwind to be unusually youthfull looking despite their age which is why in the first series she's a young warrior and not a senior one

it's all because it was told from firestar's perspective and he didn't know how old she was only how she looked around longtail's age

so there she lays, probably grumbling about "kits these days"

My two beutifull girls

a little doodle in my more usual style in celebration of pride month of my cutest couple ingame

in the other save that i play in i've somehow created the most beutifull she-cats in sims history, that being Tiger(on the left) and Echo(on the right) and they ended up falling in love

they are genuinely so cutesy and precious always acting lovey dovey and interacting with each other

as of now they are called respectively Tigerprowl and Echowisp but i still call them their og names

also Tiger is actually bi as she had at some point a male mate and although it's just the game doing it's thing with pairing random sims~ Echo's ex was a she-cat so she's undeniably a lesbian xdd

idk if it's just my game or it's a rule but torties and calico's ALWAYS turn gay

as of today i've had 7 seperate torties, from diffrent saves and even computers, be lesbian, two of them being medicine cats too

it's a silly coincidence but it's kinda funny nontheless

i've also tried recording the whole process but missclicked and eneded up with just the coloring...

[crisis-over-art]

i'm kinda proud of how cute they came out~~ and since its art with little to none sims stuff i'm sending it here too xdd

my precious little lesbians<3

I've got Sol problems

this week at work i've been finishing my omen of the stars reread and of course Sol came back and I got a painful reminder of why I really don't like him as a antagonist

it's really hard to think of him as a threat when all his villainy depends on the clan cats lack of ability to ask questions without giving him detailed answers to them

I was cackling when back in the power of three jayfeather was questioning him about the prophecy, but at least then it was a group of teenagers who didn't know any better and were desperate

but Poppyfrost... you've got no excuse xddddd

Expresion exercise based of the graphic novel

boi are the expresions in the new graphic novel great xdd they cracked me up so many times, especially squilf and tawny

this one where all of them just look at crowpaw for being crowpaw is just great, i love how even feathertail is judging him

so i drew it, kind of

here's the timelapse

[crisis-over-art]

If you're open to warrior cats design requests, could I please have Jay (Yellowfang's Secret/Tallstar's Revenge)? Thanks!

OOH THAT SOUNDS FUN!

I've gotta admit i completly forgot of her existence which is a shame because she's such a fun character (i love old cranky ladies xd)

i remember giving her the voice of the old lady that beats Alex in the Madagascar movies while reading, idk why, thats why i gave her that head scarf, although at first i wanted to somehow incorporate that into her check fur, but i just could't make it work

i rarely draw older characters and the few oc's i've got that are elders were a litteral nightmare for me to make them look their age

so i'm quite satisfied with how she looks, but idk if her lack of teeth comes as clearly as i wanted it to be

[crisis-over-art]

Two very dead fellas, Redtail and Runningwind

was going to draw something else and ended up working on Redtail and since i adore the headcanon of trans Redtail and his ship with Runningwind as well as them being Sanstorms parents ~~ i just kinda drew them both xd

i wanted their colors to make sense (not biologically) for sanstorms cream pelt but they just didn't look right, like at all, so i ended up using a darker cream for runningwind and gave redtail squirrelflights red

and honestly now i'm thinking of perhaps doing the genetically acurate designs as they are always so fun to see buuuuut as much as i understand cat genetics ~ i don't actually understand them enough to use them in any way

but we shall see

i really do enjoy designing, it's really fun

[crisis-over-art]

Fire and Sand

i reworked a little the designs i've doodled earlier and am much happier, specifically with Firestar, i always strugle with imagining him

he's alway either too orange or too tabby or to round xdd

but i am pretty happy with this, at least temporarily

[crisis-over-art]

Serpent's cozy bed of sand

the moment that trully hooked me into witch hat and cemented my adoration for the artstyle was that very first panel that shows the dragon of the illusionary labirinth that girls get trapped in

i LOVE dragons and the tiniest mention of them in any media gets me intrested, but this specific fella is so darn cute and menancing and magical and argh i just love its design so much ₍₍⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟⁾⁾

i've also just learned how to record timelapses in krita (my beloved ♡) and since my art tends to be as consistent stylistically and thematically as um.. .. well it's never consistent xd so i've decided to leave a little timelapse to somewhat reasure, mostly myself that im no scammer im just weird like that

and no i didn't forget his second pair of wings i just didn't plan ahead and ended up in a weird pose so they just sunk into the sandy cloud

[crisis-over-art]

Sister designs~~

recently i've been plagued with the question of how do i actually imagine all of the warrior cats characters, because i've never actually pictured them as real life cats but only in the many diffrent artstyles of the fandom

as in they were always stylized in my head

but like .. im somewhat of an artist, i draw... how do i actually imagine them personally? so i dabbled a little in designing them a little, at least our flameboi's direct family and um... those specific aspects of their designs really do stay consistent no matter what huh xd

anyway here's Leafpool and Squirrelflight design sketch(?), i sketched and colored on the same layer to test what works and what doesn't, but they came out so cute i didn't wanna risk ruining it

i also drew their parents but they didn't come out as cute as them

[crisis-over-art]

Decided to try out Vgens challenge cause why not

Thought about it and ended up drawing a big cat xdd

are proportions kinda wonky? yes, but is it cute? also yes

i usually let tumblr automaticaly post instead of doing it myself buuuuut~~ i just finished it so whatever xd

[crisis-over-art]

Another oc as i'm running out of things to post xd

this lovely she-cat is the same age as the rest of the aprentices and is very much a clan cat, i simply cant decide where to place her

she fits the most in thunderclan but windclan has no aprentices... at least drawn (i have 2 in mind) buuuut the perfect mentor for her is in shadowclan, so im in a pickle

Im temporarily calling her Maplepaw but idk if it will stick

[crisis-over-art]

Windclan time!

the one clan i've worked on the least as in there litteraly just the leader, the black and white tom Plumstar and his debuty Otterbelly

recently i've also had drawn their medicine cat Berrytuft but i will post her on another occasion

[crisis-over-art]

back to my oc's just cause i don't have anything new xd

those two are Arthur (the ginger) and Igor (the black&white) two barn cats that sometimes interact with the clans but mostly enjoy sharing with themselves milk and beef jerky given by their twolegs

the main crew is constantly betting whether or not they're just palls or homosexuals and after one look from my friends it had been decided they're husbands

[crisis-over-art]

genuinely forgot to post it xdd

Coco from Witch Hat Atelier, my baby, i love her so much

idk whats about them fictional kids with those pure hearts that have the worst things happen to them that make me feel so paternaly protective

it's really hard not to like this story, to me its scratches the same artistic itch that blue period scratched and the whimsy of a true fairytail

[crisis-over-art]

just doodles of scenes that stuck,

every now and then i reread the series as i need that background noise when im working and having something i'm overly familiar with is quite relaxing

but as i was listening to the audiobook of fading echoes all of a sudden the scene of jay & squilf talking, or well..their atempt at talking on their way to shadowclan stuck to me

its not really all that special, just jayfeather being himself and snapping at squilf for trying to reconnect

but maybe due to me already being overly emotional after mousefur's laments over longtail's death (they get me every time) or maybe because of how the rest of Squirrel's poor misreable life goes, i felt that grief and longing of a mother like never before and had a sudden urge to draw the face that plagued me the entire shift xdd

here's them without all the distracting mess

i didn't feel like drawing their bodies so i just mashed foresty effects to cover that though i might have gone overboard
