More Factions art while I take care of the new kitten that’s now in my life, lol. This time Tartanblade, and due to the fact that I worked really hard on his anatomy, I decided to make him look more like a Gaelic Berserker.

Yes, this is still technically related to Serverblight

Sphynx Body and Facial Language Guide Part 3: Intimidation and Confusion

Featuring Serverblight Factions' Yumi and Blade as our test subjects (since these are characters we are already familiar with)

Note: it is rare for Sphynx to go around without clothing (though sleeping and sometimes preening is an exception), this is just for clarity

Sphynx are nocturnal predators that are hypercarnivorous (meaning their diets are 60-70% meat), that tend to live in tight-knit family groups. Intraspecies fighting was, and is, common, and even the gall to try and steal someone's romantic partner through flirtation isn't too unheard of.

Yumi (left) is using a very common intimidation tactic, puffing out her feathers to make her look bigger, pointing with her ears at the target of her ire, and showing that she is ready to pounce. It's not out right anger, she's not growling or hissing, or showing her beak in full aggression, but she is saying "back off, or I'll use your intestines as a noose". Everyone knows what she means, but she still has a sense of plausible deniability.

Blade (right) on the other... again, should I use talon? Is basically trying to tell her that she has nothing to worry about, and is extremely confused by her aggression. While I do anthropomorphize Sphynx by giving them eyebrows, the ears are once again where it's at. One ear up and one ear down is basically a raised eyebrow, his talon on Yumi's back is meant to be a "yo, what are you doing???". The Clicking noise he's making isn't common in most sphynx language, it's like Morse-code, used by folks that are mute. There's sign language too, and Blade does use it, but Click is more useful especially when people aren't looking at you.

This is what happens when you go on a walk and some hussy of a molly tries to steal your tom, lol.
