What Pride Flag Is This (wrong Answers Only)

These are two characters from my main ClanGen game: Hillpatch and his son, Shellpaw. Hillpatch is the brown-and-white one and Shellpaw is the black-and-white one. I don't have much to say about them lol, I just wanted to draw them. I also drew the original ten starter cats (which includes Hillpatch, just as an apprentice), and that drawing will be posted eventually.

Idk what is expected on Tumblr in terms of having a theme for your blog, if you can't tell. I'm probably just going to throw all of my OC stuff into this one, including my ClanGen stuff, unless I start making a lot of ClanGen art, which is unlikely. So yeah. Expect that

Mother's Lair

Oh god, it's art dump time (ft. all of my 2024 AF attacks)

Putting the good ones above the cut LOL

This grid setup is very awkward.

I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be this year, but I'm still happy with all of my attacks. Sorry for never posting here. I always forget that I have Tumblr. Maybe one day I'll get good at posting.

Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me.

Rambling under the cut

The character here is Firestar from Warriors. I'd tentatively recommend reading the books if you haven't read them, but I'm not confident people will like them as they have their problems. Although most of the problems show up after the books that feature Firestar. He's supposed to be a Somali cat here. There wasn't any reason for drawing him. I just default to cats with my art experiments because they're easy to draw. And I did a study last night and I wanted to put the stuff I remembered to good use.

I'm trying to experiment with art that mimics traditional art, specifically the doodles I like to draw in class and stuff. This was really my first attempt and I think it turned out good so yeah!

Also, this is my first art piece of the year! Well, the first finished one. The New Year's Redraw is coming... eventually... I'm not too fussed about that coming out on time because I'm not usually on time with them anyway. One of them took four months and another was just never finished because it looked so ugly. This year's version will hopefully turn out very good, but I'll have to see. Anyway. Thanks to all my followers and stuff, and here's to a good year. Maybe I'll even open commissions.

Did a silly

I saw that Flix might be getting redesigned and decided to do my rendition of what I'd want in a redesign! More under the cut ✦

Traits list (some are on the ref but I'll expand on them here):

I changed the palette quite a bit. I like the original black and gold, but it didn't give me space vibes, so I wanted the highlights to vary more in hue. That might be a controversial move, but I like it.

Keeping with the colour change, the blood and fire breath would probably be pink here.

The eyes are on the side of the head. This is inspired by seagulls, and sort of by their herbivory, although I would make Flix an omnivore (if not a carnivore) if I could. There aren't enough omnivores in CoS and I think it would be a better fit for Flix than herbivory.

They walk on their wings and feet like a pterosaur, just because it looks cool. Plus it makes them look a bit less like a different font of bird.

Their wings look more bat-like here. Ideally, they wouldn't; I'm just not good at replicating the canon wings. I wanted to emulate comet moth wings (because comet, like space) but I don't think I pulled it off. I could settle for feathered wings in a Flix redesign, but I have beef with feathered wings in spec evo because they're so unlikely to occur since they're such a derived structure. But CoS is already so unbelievably unrealistic that it's not even spec evo anymore, so whatever lol

The hindlegs are syndactyl, so they can perch! Their toes are also webbed, so they can actually swim! And maybe paddle around on the surface like ducks (wait that's cute... I might animate that).

They have claws on their wings. These would help with perching and perhaps climbing (like if they needed to climb a cliff instead of flying or something; maybe for stealth.

The back wings are attached to the hindleg. That's the case in the canon design too, but I bring it up here for clarity and also to add that I (and I assume the original designer) based this on microraptor's hind-wings. Microraptor beloved <333

I couldn't add them here as they'd obscure stuff even more, but I think there would be a couple more comet-shaped shards down the back. They would be floating particles, like the orbs that they keep adding to new creatures.

I gave them little star spots to make the black areas look like a night sky!

You can't see it due to the hind wings covering it, but the tail has the same gradient as the little danglies on the wings.

I just realised this version makes them look a bit like the Flickaflie, which people seem to already mix up with this guy anyway, so uh, oops. I think they're different enough.

If you have any thoughts to add to this, leave a comment! I'd love to discuss and I'm fine with criticism of this design. I might make a second rendition if I become unsatisfied enough with this. :3

Some owed art for Upsilon on Toyhouse!!

My school year ended today, so I'm free over the holidays! Hopefully, I will remember to post here! But I'll have to see.

We watched the Devil die that day. We watched him die 9 times

Bunch of arthropod guys - refs created for OC purposes! ;)

Reblogging on main to say I had this happen a week or so ago when I went to a museum.

They had a Tsintaosaurus skeleton there (Tsintaosaurus was a hadrosaur with a sort of unicorn horn), and I had expected hadrosaurs to be about the size of a cow, or maybe a horse at most. Nope. They're almost four metres tall.

So imagine all 5 feet of me, in the dinosaur room, staring up at this enormous creature. It was awesome in the most literal sense.

sometimes u have to see something in real life to truly get it. Elephant in pictures is like 'thats an elephant'

elephant in real life is like 'wow, that's a fucking elephant
