Call me Eclipse | she/they | 19 | This is the art place. I only post art of my characters here, and the occasional lore or story posts. @eclipsedmoon87 is where I usually am, but this blog is the one that follows and asks questions. @eclipsedships has self insert stuff
I don't do these often, but if you have a blank blog with a real human for an icon or the default icons, don't follow me. Your blog looks like a bot and I block and report those on sight. Just a warning. If you are a real person, please make your blog look inhabited. Please
Unless you are literally a brand new baby blog and Tumblr makes you follow people before you can decorate. In which case, I am so sorry
I had such an idea for an oc, and I'm going to redraw this with the actual stripe pattern, but I used your picrew to plan it out
This character is going to be a chocolate silver charcoal siamese with white, and 2 tails, Japanese nekomata yokai style
I have no idea how charcoal works, since it's apparently exclusively found in Bengal cats, and hybrids are weird, but this oc already has the supernatural element of having 2 tails and magic powers, so I'm having fun with it
I was inspired by @littlehungrywarriorcats to use a clan generator to make my own Warrior cat clan for funsies.
It's called Zebraclan, and the clan is described as drowsy and cautious. They live in a birch forest that got ravaged by a fire, and the cats below are those who survived and are part of the clan a year later (there are a few others that aren't seen bc they weren't generated but do exist, I just haven't designed them)
Designs and descriptions beneath the cut (to be done in 2 parts due to image limit)
In allegiance order (apprentices are in the same image as their parent)
Squirrelstar
Squirrelstar is the leader and is actually a chimera of a short hair and a long hair, hence his extra floofy tail and chest. His floofy tail makes him look like a squirrel, hence his name. He's a very high strung cat, anxious and paranoid about whether he's doing a good job leading, and he overcompensates by being very friendly and helpful. He's a good guy, just low self confidence, much imposter syndrome, very jumpy, and always on alert. He does a pretty decent job taking care of his clan with the help of his deputy and mate Lilywhisker and he's the youngest child of litter of 4.
He's so concerned with doing a good job leading since he became leader right after the fire took the old leader, and has to rebuild his dwindling clan. Fortunately he has help from Lilywhisker and the neighboring clans, which Zebraclan is on good terms with
Lilywhisker
Lilywhisker is a sweet lady who reassures Squirrelstar he's doing OK, she is his rock. They work incredibly smoothly together. She's very wise, the planner of the clan, the brains of the operation. She is beloved by all, a true Mom Friend to the whole clan gluing it together. She is cautious but not as intensely as Squirrelstar, she thinks things through considering all options before she acts. Sometimes she gets overwhelmed by how much work she does for the clan, and she does a lot, and when she does, she goes off by herself to the shore of a beautiful lake on the edge of Zebraclan territory to just relax. Squirrelstar catches her favorite food for her and cuddles with her in this special place to cheer her up. She's the oldest of a litter of 5. She and Squirrelstar are very in love and it's the most obvious thing ever.
Cootleaf
Cootleaf is the Medicine Cat. He's eccentric and lazy, a bit of a grouch when he has to actually do his job, but he makes up for it by being good at it. He's amicable and friendly outside of work, if a bit much for the other cats. He likes long walks at night, and is the older middle child of the litter.
Cormorantpaw is Cootleaf's son and neither of them know it. Cootleaf (inadvisably) had a one night stand with another cat (there were no emotions there, it was just a convenient hookup) and she had Cormorantpaw. (She was not included in the generated cats, so if I design her I need to base her on Cormorantpaw)
She refuses to tell Cormorantpaw or Cootleaf about their relationship bc it would threaten Cootleaf's position as Medicine Cat, since they're not allowed to have families. It's a bit of an open secret though, since all the black cats are siblings, and Squirrelstar is mates with Lilywhisker, but the clan is really small right now and Cootleaf doesn't care about Cormorantpaw and his mother outside of his duties as Medicine Cat, so it's not a big deal. The kid himself thinks that his father died in the fire based on how hesitant everyone is to talk about him, though Cormorantpaw is curious as to his father's identity.
Warriors
Ravenstorm
Ravenstorm is a clever dreamer who has mildly prophetic dreams. She's a bit silly, bit wild, likes to have a good ol time and can be quite scrappy, tires her out a lot though: she's just as often found asleep as awake. And she is the oldest child of the litter.
Starlingfoot
Starlingfoot is very energetic, very talkative, can be a bit of a prankster, and usually volunteers to go on patrol. She's very curious, and likes climbing trees to look out over the surroundings, often using this habit to quite literally get the drop on enemies and prey. She's the younger middle child of the litter
Spiderbriar
Spiderbriar is more reserved and prickly, a bit manipulative, carefully weaving others into webs of plans to get what she wants. She likes playing with her enemies and prey before she defeats them, and is sharp and commanding. She is the youngest of the litter
Slugface
Slugface was a loafer as a kitten who likes soaking up the sun. She stuck her face in a bush one day, and came out with a slug on her face, being the source of her warrior name (along with the fact that the stripe of black on her face looks like a slug)
She has since learned to observe and plan before sticking her nose into things, mostly keeps to herself, and she enjoys doing her chores quickly and efficiently so she can loaf and nap worry free. She is the second youngest of the litter
Apprentices (skipped as they are discussed with their parent)
Queens
Squirrelear
Squirrelear is a former kittypet who was abandoned bc her owner didn't want to deal with her having kittens, so she came to Zebraclan already pregnant. And she comes to the clan post fire, but decently far into the reconstruction, and is welcomed with open paws bc she would be very valuable to the genepool and actual population of the clan.
Squirrelear is seen as quite unusual to the others being a hairless cat, and when she's not in the queen den taking care of her kits once they're born, she spends a lot of her time down by the lake, bc hairless cats need a lot of baths. She's used to having all her needs taken care of by someone else, but she's adjusting to taking care of herself decently well. She's quite protective over kits and is a bit of a neat freak. Bc she was abandoned by her owner, she feels anxious about her stay in the clan being too good to be true. From being an outcast, the only hairless cat, and her skin forcing her to spend most of her time in the river and away from other clanmates, she feels distant from them and struggles to make strong connections with the other clanmates. Despite her social struggles and anxieties, she keeps trying, wanting to make friends and help secure her place there and assure a good future for her kits. Her status as a former kittypet does instill a bit of vanity in her though, she was doted on tooth and paw after all, and that feeling of expecting others to do things for her never truly left.
Mallowface
Mallowface is the second oldest of the litter, and lost her mate in the fire. She took this loss very hard, but is putting on a brave smile for her new kits, even though the stress caused them to be born weak and sickly. Everyone is worried about her
My height chart has been split in 2 by continuity and added a few new faces
There's a lot to say about all of them, so I won't describe them all here, but if you want to know about them, send me an ask about a specific oc and I'll happily ramble about my kids
There's a new swarm of totally real ladies with empty blogs following me, and I'm blocking and reporting them left and right.
If you are an actual human person with a brand new account trying to follow me, I urge you to please post *anything at all* on your blog so that when I go to check who the heck you are, I can tell you aren't just a bot-encrusted void. Just a simple "hello this is my lurker account I use to follow people" is enough.
*taps sign*
I am once again being haunted by ladies of questionable reality, as well as a lot of blank blogs without a custom avatar. If you are a recent arrival from the ex-parrot site with a brand new tumblr blog, I am asking you to please post ANYTHING at all on your blog, even if you're only going to lurk passively to follow people.
Otherwise, you look just like the dozens of bots I've blocked this week.
