Tigerclaw and Cloudkid — a graphic novel frame redraw, back on my Warriors shit again

And here's a totally subtle link to my TG channel where I'll be dumping all the rough work and shitposts (everything's in Russian though):

For the longest time, I had no doubt about who was the soldier, who was the poet, and who was the king in my main trio — but some sources are low-key telling me I've been wrong this whole time 🥀

I'm slowly getting the hang of drawing backgrounds again. This is Annie — she's obsessed with little countryside getaways

"Maybe you could scooch over a little?"

More cursed doodles

If you asked Jim from the medieval AU what his biggest mistake was, he'd say without hesitation that he messed up raising Aloysius (the one who bit off his pinky, by the way), because now arguing with him is more trouble than it's worth 🥀

A little doodle for season three

Shepherd instinct test 🫡

Just some lazy everyday dog moments while I work on the full pieces

"Dude, you're crazy"

"Occupational hazard" (btw he's the teacher of Eng)

Another spontaneous little concept for some characters who don't even have names yet.

Not sure what'll come of this yet, but a big cat and especially a monkey are pretty out of the box for me — I'd love to develop them further in the future 👹

Anyway, here's my guilty favorite among my OCs 🫡

I've been putting off showing him for ages, but damn it, I just don't have enough art of him — this is literally the first piece (and it's rough, I lowkey killed myself making it 🥀).

Notable stuff:

· His name's Reginald and he's James's biological uncle

· Like his brother-in-law (Jim's dad), he can and does hide people in fire — he's a real piece of shit, I love him

· He hoards poisons for every occasion (his nephew is his main dealer 😇). In his prime he'd slash you up with a rapier, but now he throws his back out if he tries

· His career is his whole life

There's also some random extra stuff in the pics

A request from a VK subscriber — their character loves cats and junk food🌯

[shmellart]

Better late than never, so I’ll just sneak in one more fish boy at the end of Mermay for a VK challenge

I got a detail in the form of black volcanic stone spikes along the tail, and at that point, it would’ve been a crime not to base the whole mermaid design around a volcano theme 🌋

[shmellart]

I got tempted by another character challenge, this time purely with Warrior Cats ⚔️

Here they are from left to right: Whitestorm, Thornclaw, Brightheart, Tallstar (I’ve always pictured him as an Oriental as long as I can remember), Littleclowd 🤲, Runningnose, Runningwind 🤟, Firestar and Mistystar✨

Another art trade with an artist from VK!

And here are my two mascots together — a bumblebee and a grass snake! In Russian, their names are literally Жужик Стася and Ужик Тася, but that wordplay just doesn't work in English 😞

Tired bumblebee, one of my mascots✨

Sketches with big cats 🐈‍⬛

"Now I know who you are: your name is Coyote, and you have four different souls."

A completely spontaneous piece based on a super niche thing 🤸

[shmellart]

I love checking in every now and then to see how my characters evolve over time, and I wanted to share the results from the last three years 😼

Ann is a bit younger — she only showed up at the end of 2024 — but even she's managed to change quite a bit, so here we go

I'm still holding out hope that some of my followers speak Russian, because I'm way too lazy to translate all of this...
