I'm hosting a Wings of Fire Artfight! Lookin for more participants.

Two redos of old art of the same creature combinations. First one is quercylurus/dromaeosaurid, second is pakicetus/halszkaraptor. Might recolor that one, I'm not getting enough attachment to the current design.

Cat color chart!

This doesn’t contain eeeeevery single possible color mutation but it should cover the most common/interesting ones! 

I’m not saying everything on this chart is 100% anatomically/genetically correct, but I tried to simplify it as much as I could! 

Feel free to use this for your own designs!

I just had some...thoughts... about sticking animal heads on human shoulders. Bear with me.

I think the reason some anthros look really strange (I’m looking at you, Skyrim) is because animal skulls don’t attach to their spines the same way ours do. Our spines and skulls are very vertical, but many animals’ are closer to horizontal.

Some people solve this by giving the animal skulls a human skull shape on the back. But, to me it makes them look somehow bald(??) and just kinda weird in general. If, instead, you change their necks to curve so that the spine still connects where their four legged counterparts’ do, they no longer look yucky! (And also don’t need a hair-do!)

This seems especially applicable for animals like big cats, cows, and lizards — animals whose spines attach very horizontally to their heads.

Anyway, enjoy some more art I did while having these very specific thoughts.

Some more maniraptoriform/extinct animal designs I've done. Technically they're for a specific ARPG but none have been written as characters. They sit in purgatory until I'm able to write for one or a few of them.

Anchiornis huxleyi/hadropithecus stenognathus

Balaur bondoc/thylacosmilus atrox

Citipati/yoshi garevskii

Dromeosaurus/smilodon fatalis

Even anteaters have fun...

REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.

Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.

Some designs of griffons that I've done before. Technically they were me figuring out a character for the Girfugol ARPG, but there's a slim chance I'll actually use any of these.

Species combos: dromeosaurus albertensis/Quercylurus major, yellow bellied sunbird asity/tufted pygmy squirrel, African skimmer/oriental cat, and Anchiornis huxleyi/Yoshi garevskii

This is part 1, I'll show off more designs.

Another food for thought. What if Firestar joined WindClan instead of ThunderClan? Tallstar was close with Jake and would probably see him in Firepaw. They already had an interesting dynamic but it could be explored more. Maybe a father/son or mentor/apprentice relationship. Replace Graystripe with Onewhisker, who Fireheart already knew anyways. And the main antagonist would become Brokenstar instead of Tigerstar. Yellowfang could go to WindClan instead, as it also borders ShadowClan. More conflict would happen about taking her in because ShadowClan drove them out, but she's just a medicine cat so they might let her in. WindClan wouldn't depend on ThunderClan anymore. They'd be the hero clan. Now ThunderClan would need rescuing from Tigerstar or a senile Bluestar. And it would avoid the whole Onestar going crazy to prove his clan's independence from ThunderClan thing. Firestar could still choose Onewhisker as his deputy after Tallstar makes him leader. Firestar could've started off as a barn cat instead of a kittypet for this, he could even know Barley. And the fire alone prophecy could be made by Barkface instead of Spottedleaf. So I'd say that Firestar could've worked as a WindClan cat just as well as a ThunderClan one. And WindClan is just cooler in my opinion. If there's an AU like that out there already that is awesome.
