a little grumpy man! an angy boi! then again he did just get uhhh kidnapped so maybe he's got a reason.
this is ampen!virgil from @delimeful's fic to know that song (and all its words) (also on ao3 here), which is a fic set in his alien extended universe and whose first chapter came out recently! and since i'm a patron and get early access i can confidently say that this fic is shaping up to Really Good and you should read it. go. read it.
@delimeful requested an ulgorii!Janus, for the speciesswap variant of the WIBAR-verse, and I have come to deliver! Because I actually remembered to post my work, this time! Hurrah!
I'm pretty proud of how these turned out, and especially of the shininess of his carapace and his jaunty little hat. And his outfit. And coming up with the extra venom sacks on his face for his scales-
thank you @delimeful for reminding me to post this, because I absolutely would not have remembered otherwise :)
Anyways, this is a Virgil inspired by the latest installment in his lovely fic the shapes in the silence, in which Virgil occasionally is small dragon and frequently has terrible things happen to him. If you have not read it, or didn't know it's updated, go check it out it's amazing!
The addition of the horns and jacket are my own, because I thought it would look good and it does. I also played around with the style, I wanted to try to pull off something a bit more stylized than my usual.
I’ve procrastinated long enough! I’m finally publicly posting my (no longer recent, whoops) drawing of Patton’s first meeting with ‘Puff’ in @delimeful’s very fun and sometimes angsty fic the shapes in the silence (AO3). This is one of my favorite scenes, so drawing it was especially fun.
actually i have a favor to ask of anyone who has drawn, is drawing, or would like to draw ampen patton: please reblog this with a pic of him holding a badly photoshopped in gun i cant stop picturing it in my mind
How could I not do a crossover for two of my favorite comfort fandoms? Sanders Sides and Warriors!
Overviews:
Logan - Suntail, Riverclan warrior with medicine cat training
A dark gray-blue tom with pale accents around eyes and chest and a striped golden van pattern, about average size. He originally chose to become a medicine apprentice, as the previous medicine cat was old and had no protégé, but was unhappy and eventually became a warrior. He hates his bright gold fur, due to its conspicuousness and impracticality.
Virgil - Ravenstorm, Windclan warrior
A skinny but large tom with long legs and sleek raven fur. Being the son of a former rogue and an unknown kittypet, he’s always keenly felt the need to prove his loyalty to his clan, and often feels torn and fearful about his friendships with cats in other clans.
Deceit - Adderspeckle, Thunderclan warrior
A bilateral chimera, who is half solid grey and half apricot spotted tabby. Between his chimerism and diminutive size he deals with a fair amount of stigma both from clanmates and strangers. Being mistaken for a kit is a frustratingly common occurrence for him, but he’s learned to turn others’ underestimation of him into an advantage.
Patton - Patchheart, Skyclan medicine cat
A tall, soft tom with pale, creamy fur, covered with buff and fawn splotches overlaid with a faint classic tabby pattern. He knew since kithood that he wanted to work in the medicine den, and has always loved taking care of his clanmates. His one regret is that medicine cats can’t take a mate, not because he particularly wants a relationship but because he wishes he had kits of his own. He compensates by spending most of his spare time fussing over the nursery.
Roman - Russetshade, Shadowclan warrior
A ticked, dark russet tom with a lighter underbelly. He’s slightly smaller than average but heavyweight and muscular for his size. He and Remus are littermates, both kittypet kits adopted into Shadowclan. Although he doesn’t know it, he closely takes after his Abyssinian maternal grandmother. Similarly to Virgil, he’s insecure about his heritage and feels the need to be the perfect warrior for his clan.
Remus - Badgerface, Shadowclan warrior
A dark gray tom, with white bands around his ankles, white stripes running down his face, neck, and shoulders, and a darker tail. Tall and lanky, he’s around twice Roman’s height but about the same weight, and he has a condition that makes his forelegs spread out oddly. Like his littermate Roman he’s a kittypet adopted into Shadowclan, but he takes after their oriental father. His graphic intrusive thoughts and manic disposition tend to put off other cats, even his brother, but his creativity in a fight has earned him the respect of his whole clan.
I decided to try my hand at drawing @splendidcitrus-arts‘ lovely former troupe oc, Mantidfly! I absolutely love their design, but I think if we actually met I’d probably try to kick them.
The downside to free will is that just as one can choose to act with goodness and kindness, so too can they choose to behave with great evil and cruelty.
(Story, personality, and trivia under the cut)
Wail was very late-hatched. They hid from Dryya when she surveyed the vessels, and slunk out before Ogrim resealed the Abyss. They remember and miss existence in the Void keenly, and desire nothing more than for themself and their siblings to return to that state of being - no cost too great.
They despise the Pale King for pulling them into physicality, they hate the White Lady for seducing their siblings into accepting and even embracing life outside the Void, and they feel much anger and betrayal towards their kin - not for leaving them, as one might expect, but for following the Pale Lady and leaving the Abyss for one of the people who, in their eyes, committed such a grave injustice against their kind.
Now, their only goal is to free their siblings by shattering the white mask prisons they’ve been shoved into. After all, it doesn’t kill them, it just returns them to their proper state of being - and of course, once all the siblings are freed, and anyone with the knowledge to pull them out of the Void again is gone, all the kin can just return home and live happily ever after.
Despite their whole shtick being ‘find all their siblings, shatter their masks, and return to the Void’, the familial feelings are not particularly strong with this one. In truth, although they don’t recognize it, they are almost entirely motivated by a strong sense of possessiveness. They don’t want to return to the Void to be with their siblings, they want to return because existence there was constant and predictable. They hate that they no longer know what will happen, and expect all their siblings to feel the same. Plus, their difficulty with cognitive and social empathy means that they don’t often notice if what they do hurts someone, and that can make communication far more difficult than their lack of voice. They’re in for a very nasty surprise once they try to ‘free’ a sibling who very strongly wants to stay above - and anyone else is in for a nasty surprise if and when they figure out what this vessel is trying to do.
They have no voice and just enough mind to scheme, but their will is absurdly strong for such a void-y vessel.
An oc for @sothequeensays‘s Queen Mother au! I was considering the idea of a ‘villainous’ vessel, and ended up with this little shit. Feel free to draw or write them, just please credit me!
My entire world has been shattered by the realization that Garfield is an entirely plausible warrior cats name. A gar is a fairly common species of fish, and the cats of course know what a field is.
This knowledge is a great burden.
An important detail that I feel shouldn’t be ignored: Garfield would only be the name of a warrior, elder, or medicine cat. Other ranks/ages have assigned suffixes, meaning Garfield would also, at some point, hold the names:
titsay
discoholicmusic
pixelskylines
annaxmalina
snowghoul
theartofmadeline
blakekathryn
