A Sketch A Day (drives the poor Shadow insane)

[shadowthestoryteller]

Update+OtaGS deal reminder

I'm not dead! I am just doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work for a more polished look when the new year rolls around (making a schedule, creating posting guidelines, revamping Patreon, making Instagram themes, etc). This also means that this account will become my main base of operations, so any side accounts will be rolled into this one. That includes:

@a-batcher-a-day @shads-sketchies @shadowsstorystuff

Any content posted there will be posted on this account after Jan1st, with the accounts abandoned but not deleted. Just to consolidate my stuff into one area so people don't have to follow multiple accounts to get all my stuff, but also so I can keep track of things easier.

My new story stuff is still on hold until Jan 1st, but in the meantime don't forget I have a deal going for a signed hardcopy of my "Off to a Great Start" Clone Wars era Bad Batch fic! Orders are open until Dec 1st, so don't miss it!

Thanks for reading and don't forget to join my discord if you want to see any extra details/chat with me or other fans of the series!

Shadow out ✌️ ✌️

Me looking at the completed work

The homicidal twig himself, Sir Corporal Twiggs McGee.

I present a Sergeant Shaggy!

I still detest drawing armor

[shads-sketchies]

Shaggy is, also, giving me trouble but its better than I could do this time last year!

I dread his hair, I can never get it quite right

[shads-sketchies]

I am once again attempting to figure out Adventures!AU Tech's face using Daniel Logan

Also yes I plan to post more often, I just am trying to figure out my new computer because it doesnt want to cooperate with my tablet

[shads-sketchies]

Okay, but I’m gonna tell you that I have headcanons of teen Crosshair going through an Emo/goth phase. He shaves his hair into a mullet Mohawk and he paints a skull and Crossbones on his blacks plus black eyeliner 😂 this is little 13 year old Crosshair who in my headcanons is a tiny boy so poor 99 has a heart attack when he sees it.

Twiggy would definitely go through an emo phase XD

While in the adventurs!AU he didn't really come into contact with 99 (that was mainly Tech) he no doubt would have had a mohawk much to the caretaker's displeasure pfft

Today's sketch is more refined, but it's also an original character lol

Playing around with shading mainly, but also put more work into the nose than usual. Trying to actually work out the realistic side of facial anatomy

This fella is Harvey Sutherland, the main character from Leave It All Behind! There's an older version on wattpad but I'm also redoing it ^^

[shads-sketchies]

Missed yesterday so will have some extra sketchies today

Redid (sorta) this old art! I cant darw clothes still, but I DID improve enough to actually draw Cross rather than trace over

Also had a request on discord for some sleepy bois so Tech and hunter are there too. Sarge doesnt exactly sleep pretty pfft

[shads-sketchies]

Some pen sketchies!

There’s definitely a reason I don’t like sketching in pen lol

[shads-sketchies]

could u do alphian Cody?

Sure!

While Cody won't ever become an Alphian, if he DID he'd be a bird type with fire abilities. I don't have that many birb original species, but he'd be one that is semi based off of a phoenix! The specifics are unknown, but I added what his ears and tail would look like! They'd be perpetually on fire but its a magic type of fire so it only catches other things on fire if Cody wants to.

[shads-sketchies]

Sketchie time!

So, Alphians usually start their "Alpha" growth spurt around 20 years old, which means their "Beta" and "Alpha" forms experience rapid growth compared to their "Omega" form. A full grown Alphian in Beta mode will be anywhere from 6'4"-7'2", unless they are a Halfblood (like Cross). In that case, they'll only ever get 6 inches taller than their "Omega" form, so Cross is done growing. Still, even feet ain't exactly something to sneeze at!

As for Shads, by the time the Batch gets turned into Halfbloods they will have started and finished their growth spurt (growing from 6 feet in OtR to 6'5" in Rising Alpha).

What are these two scheming? Who knows!

[shads-sketchies]

Love artsy Shadow! Hmm, mayhaps the boys in alpha or beta form?

Thanks! And sure thing!

I can't draw muzzle perspective/shoulders worth shite but i gave it a go! The anthro form is "Alpha" form while the human face/animal ears is "Beta" form ^^

At the very bottom is them in Feral form w/ scale, but those lines are done by Panthera Arven!

Now for feral forms!

Someone order a low quality visualization of this chapter of Commander, Meet the Cat?
