Time for a Milestone Raffle!

The support I have gotten with this silly clangen blog has been absolutely incredible and I cannot thank you all enough.

So to celebrate this milestone and to say thank you, I want to give back in the best way I can with a blog like this!

I will be selecting 3 winners on 01/19/24 who will be able to make a character that I will place in one of the outside groups of my clangen! They can be in one of the three outside clans, starclan, or even just a loner! They may appear more than once depending on when the opportunity arises in the clangen, and you will be credited for the character whenever they appear!

You may enter two times total, by reblogging and liking this post! You must be following me to enter.

If you reblog to a sideblog, please tag the blog you follow me from! Multiple reblogs from one person only count for one entry.

Probably wouldn't happen in the corruption au, but I'm just imagining Ragatha finding Pomni and, instead of attacking, she just gives her directions to where Zooble was seen last, and then tells her to run.

Cheating isn’t allowed in the circus…

If only you had held on a little longer.

My Piece for @harriertail 's Ultimate Guide Zine!

I got Sasha and her kits <3 I had sooo so much fun!!

Below are some wip pictures + my thoughts behind the piece!!!

the RGB Version! The lineart isn't colored in properly here.

Some earlier Concepts + sketches!

Many Sashas.. and originally the leaves were supposed to be golden, but it didn't fit well.

Some thoughts:

What i love about Sasha is just how tied to water her life is-yes i enjoyed her Manga a lot, my poor little miserable women <3

First off all, she leaves her happy life as a ships-cat to raise her children. Tadpole drowns early in their lives, putting a Shadow over their happiness. They leave for RIVERclan- where Hawkfrost will die in the Lake while Mothwing lives out a life she is not the happiest with. Its why she is looking at a Star-she may be the last one alive and at first, a life as a medicine cat seemed to be everything she wanted, until she found out about Hawkfrosts Manipulation.

Tadpole holds a star because he is the strongest kit, yet dies first.

The three are symbolised by a feather, the evolution of the frog and death's-head hawkmoth- symbols of death, obviously.

Willows grow around bodies of water and are often symbols of grief.

Meanwhile Sasha can only look down and with the passage of time (-> moon phases changing) see and know that in the end, her trying to save her children doomed them, and do nothing about it but cry.

Kinda depressing stuff for a little kitty in a book :,D

if you read my thoughts, thank you so much! I hope everyone enjoys their copy of the Ultimate guide zine. Heres a treat for you: 🐱🌿 (catnip)

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

How’s your day been? This how mine went and I was very much not expecting it. Dunno if you all remember the Pride, but momma cat had another litter and one of my neighbors found them this morning so I went to go get them. I know it’s not ideal to separate them from mom, especially when they’re this young (2-3 weeks), but it’s pretty cold out and I didn’t want to risk her moving them and me never finding them again.

Anywhoodle, here’s Jason (lighter orange), Michael (darker orange), Nell (torbie), and Herbert (all black). They’re named after characters from spooky movies because they were found/born in October :3
