This... is what I get for going out today. So fuck me, I guess.

Hi, y’all!

thehedgehogshavethetardis: All good! Basically, the cats’ territories are considered a casual (read: not technically official) nature reserve thanks to the unique natures of the animals and their communities. A few people are in charge of observing and making sure the cats are doing okay with as little human influence as possible. It’s actually a very helpful boost to the town’s local economy - people come in to see the weird cats and leave after having bought a ton of souvenirs. It’s an entirely local thing!

bluejay6: Oh, no, not really! All you’d have to do is come up with a nickname or just say “Whitefur of XClan”. The cats are used to prefixes coming and going in popularity, so the addition of a suffix wouldn’t bother them too much. 

agathokakological-megabat: (wink wonk)

Anon #1: Well, if I was the writer, I wouldn’t make them have powers at all, just emphasized traits or skills. Lionblaze being a great fighter, Jayfeather being very insightful, etc. I’d definitely make Hollyleaf part of it, if I was to keep the powers. And if I had to keep the Dark Forest, I think I would make it more of an invisible influence - like someone hallucinates visions of evil cats telling them what to do or something similar. That or I’d just make them living cats who want the Clans dead. I do have some more thoughts on this, but I’m keeping it short for the sake of this painfully long post. 

Anon #2: Aw, good, man! I’m happy to hear that. I was worried his death wouldn’t sell well, to be honest. 

crowfeathertail: Firstly, thank you for the kind words and the excitement about Tigerclaw. I’m doing my best to fulfill my vision I have for him and I hope you’ll like it! Secondly, yes, Pinestar did in fact leave, but he gave no warning and ran deep into the Houses to hide from his Clan... and his responsibilities. 

Anon #3: Really, the only way I could see it is if the cats receive nine lives’ worth of memories and wisdom, rather than physical startovers. This could lead to the cats living longer lives and becoming more intelligent, or perhaps buckling under the mental strain of carrying around nine cats in your head. Plus, if a leader didn’t receive those memories, that would create tension in the story as they start to make mistakes no other leader would. 

littletreefox: No, I’m in full agreement with you. Even when I was younger, I felt weird about that little addition. I remember my OC leaders not having the nine lives for that reason. 

Anon #4: The only real thing is that deputies and leaders tend to be more intelligent than their Clanmates! But that’s just a common coincidence rather than anything mystical. 

leafiadream: Fireheart has no idea how to deal with this big mighty warrior being a pansy around humans. Greystripe hides his head in a hole and laughs. 

Anons #5 and 6: I get the feeling these were sent by the same person. In any case, I did consider that, but Sandstorm’s already got a canon relationship with him, so the simpler thing was to make him ginger. 

omegawulflove: Please do, and please @ me on it. I would love to see that.

ask-kagalia: Nope! Do whatever you like and start wherever you want! just @ me so I can see it, because I live for fanart.

Junior Film Progress

For my junior film project, my ideas and thoughts have pivoted. Due to the current events of the world around us (COVID-19) and the current quarantine we are all under, I’ve felt lost. And rather than fighting that feeling entirely, I am leaning into it, and creating my new project, The Wandering Wood.

The Wandering Wood centers around my character, Jay, who goes for a walk to get some water when a mysterious forest appears before him. Curious, he ventures into the forest and gets lost until a friend comes to the rescue.

Part of my reasoning behind this film is the sense of being lost that the current situation in the world has made me feel. I feel like I’ve been lost in the midst of all of the chaos of the world, and bringing myself back to a familiar character of mine is comforting. Jay, a character I’ve had since I was 10, is a comforting figure and face for me and has been with me through many troubles, helping me work through them and find myself again. In this way, having Jay being the character who is lost, is displaying who he is to me.

For the project currently, I have modeled and rigged the main character Jay, as well as the two environments he will be in, the peaceful prairie and the wandering woods. 

The peaceful prairie will be a more realistic style, while the wandering woods will be in a low polygonal style, to show the differences between the two spaces more intensely.

This is the current model of Jay being utilized, sculpted entirely in sculptris.

At the moment, I am in the animating stage of the project, however, I did just re-model the forest from its previous realistic look. Parts of the storyboard are also in the process of being revised, as per critique from midterm presentations.

Thank you for your time!

Jay is beautiful and nobody can tell me otherwise.

Made a new race for DnD, calling them Novaria for now, but I’m pretty happy with the result! Yay!
