MANIFESTING

The au Pits hanging out in a hotspring! They had a fun Christmas ^^

A gift for the cool people who were part of the apartment collab :D

@farvaduvet @brushstrokesapocalyptic @kopawz @mango-peach-strawberry @verdanturfwind

Who they are + a few silly captions ^^

Let the fun begin with a silly combination of my current interests: Kid Icarus Uprising & Warrior Cats! ^^

Important info about this AU world:

-"Star" is a title for leaders instead of a suffix, like how "Lady" and is used for goddesses in Kid Icarus. (It also allows for me to be more creative with naming characters :)

-Leaders and Pitpaw & Darkpaw can communicate telepathically

-The characters live on an island of cats, where there are no humans (Viridi's happy! ...right..?)

-Clans are named after what the leaders are the god/goddess of in KI. Ex: LightClan & NatureClan (which are in an alliance against most of the clans that are generally causing chaos)

With that out of the way, above is a sequence of drawings of Pitkit & Darkkit! 

-In the top left corner is Star Palelight (Palutena). Post the war against Star Serpentstone (Medusa), many of LightClan's warriors were killed, leaving two kits behind. She takes care of them now, thankfully finding a queen (who unfortunately lost her kits) that was willing to feed the two since they were still so very young.

They hadn't been named yet for fear they may die in such harsh times, so Palelight names them Darkkit and Pitkit. Darkkit for his dark pelt, and Pitkit, because his little stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit.

He squeaks a lot if he has to take a break, but has to because prey is scarce during this time, so less milk. Pit being really hungry all the time isn't the best for his littermate, so Darkkit is a bit smaller and less fluffy. He starts getting bigger as prey returns to the forest though 

Dark later uses this fact as blackmail against Pit to get him to give him more food. oof

-Center drawing is Darkkit as a spiky catloaf. He just opened his eyes and is repulsed by the state of the world already. Pitkit is just vibing

-Bottom right: Pitkit wants to talk with Star Palelight about possibly training both him and Darkkit. Darkkit isn't thrilled by this idea, and gets distracted by a feather.

Hmm. It seems to be heading that way. That's where he wants to go right now- away, on his own. hmm.

Here is the rest of this mini comic for my AU~

Pitpaw and Darkpaw are apprentices! (And 8 moons old, so somewhat close to the size of full grown cats, but still slightly smol. I will probably make full color references that better show their designs sometime :)

Now that Pitpaw is older and has shown to be a very promising and strong apprentice, he goes on a mission to finally confront Star Pantherblaze about kitnapping Darkkit. Palelight can also guide him telepathically when he needs the help, as they share a powerful connection that allows Palelight to see his path through his eyes.

He is very worried for Darkkit, as he stopped talking telepathically after month of being in CalamityClan. Pitpaw and Star Palelight talk about what may have happened to him, fearing the worst and hoping for the best.

He unexpectedly finds both Pantherblaze AND Darkpaw, and is shocked to see that he's allegedly chosen to serve CalamityClan / the Darkworld clans (this is a Dark Forest / Underworld word mix here). Palelight tells Pitpaw to be prepared to fight him.

Seeing that he has to fight his brother and tired of Star Pantherblaze's constant bossing him around, Darkpaw snaps and attacks her, knocking her off the tree and shoving her into the tall rock Pitpaw is standing on, which takes one of her lives (and possibly all of them.)

I did not want to draw a fight scene lol

Also Darkpaw sees what looks like a collar and immediately dubs his brother "Kittypit" lol. There are no kittypets on their island, but they know what they are :P (Darkpaw also doesn't have anything against them, but just really hates the idea of a collar.)

The twins run as fast they can out of CalamityClan and Pitpaw asks if Darkpaw will come back to LightClan with him, still hoping that he might, but also knowing that Darkpaw has probably made up his mind. And he has, no convincing can be done.

I like to imagine him saying he's "no clan's warrior" is this version of "servant to no other than himself". He's still a warrior that will live in a clan, but also not sworn to one in particular.

Which means that even though he's going to live in NatureClan, he's gonna be a future "Warrior of Nature", not a "NatureClan warrior". Star Vineblossom (Viridi) will just have to put up with this now xD

Extra facts:

-Due to the stress of having to put on a reluctant facade for his survival, Darkpaw's fur is not in the best condition. This is why his tail isn't very fluffy anymore :( (It will be better once he moves into NatureClan. It won't be as fluffy as Pitpaw's tail, but it'll be healthier ^^)

-Star Vineblossom will be Darkpaw's new mentor! Always take in the sassy lost child lol

The idea that Viridi takes him in because he has a nature themed name and calls him by his full name to scold him is hilarious, and I love the sketches xD 

Thanks for the response! Love reading your ideas ^^

The project I'm working on for your AU might take a few days or so to complete so here's a random thought/question in the mean time :) ~

I saw that one post where you said if Pit's name were nature themed it'd be Petunia, cause it sounds like Pittoo-nia (lol). I thought it'd be extra funny if that were his first name and Pit is a nickname. How would he feel if his first name were Petunia? (I personally think it's cute, but if I were a character I wouldn't say that to his face :P)

honestly i don't know why i doubled back on that because Petunia is probably the most brilliant thing i've ever conceived of. i think it was because it would make naming canon Pit in this au kinda weird. like. Wilted Petunia is a little too on the nose?? and wordy. but if Pit is a nickname... hehehe...

but no imagine if the only reason Viridi ended up taking him in was because he had a nature themed name. simply for the aesthetic. like:

honestly i feel like 'pit' would be the mean-spirited nickname some of the other angels gave him back when he was a little guy living on Skyworld (since he couldn't fly and all) but then he ended up appropriating it for himself to 1. stick it to Skyworld's face and 2. because it sounds way less cutesy than Petunia. but ultimately, i don't think he cares much one way or the other. names aren't really a big deal to him. especially since he spent a good portion of his life so far wandering around alone in the wilderness. but viridi definitely uses his full name when she's trying to scold him lol

i think i was trying to write a one shot about how Pit and Viridi met at some point but i never finished it (as most of my one shots are wont to do)

Dark Pit but he reforms the mirror shards as flight feathers and uses them to make his wings look cooler >:)

@planeoftheeclectic that's exactly it! It's an arrow and wind trail / the air being pushed outwards as Dark Pit dodges.

There's a lot more outward wind in the sketch I made of my AU DP, which the poster is based on! Adobe Illustrator can be a bit tough for novices so the poster looks a lot more stiff haha

A poster project I did for one of my college classes! I'm advertising KIU to my peers whenever I can haha

Wooooo!! This was so fun to color! ^^

And the lineart is so good!! :]

Just these two having a fun day out, looking cute!

The lineart was done by me, but the coloring that brought this to life was done by the awesome @polarisblitzwing ! Check them out!!

@farvaduvet This is a what-if scenario where Pit is found by Viridi when he was still a small child. Just an angry downy-winged fluffball with some major "totally E10+" sass. 

He confronts Hades because why not

In general, I'm pretty sure Pit is always ready to throw hands with any god or goddess at any age.

(AU) Baby Pit? Probably bit Palutena or something idk lol

Winn & Jasmine: my MLP AU Edition! ~*

Semi-complex designs for these two as their color schemes are unique, but easily clash. Had to find a fun way to mix them!

I usually base these mlp designs on the prominent colors of their most worn outfit or general color vibes. Utilized to its full extent here :]

Winn

- Winn is a hippogriff! Their hair reminded me of one & they seem to be the tallest of the trio, so this felt like a cool choice for them.

- They were the first in their class to get their cutie mark, in an assignment in which you had to write up a law / act and persuade people to vote in favor of it. Winn did this with both a good presentation and the power of cool as heck skateboard skills. Their cutie mark is a colorfully lined scroll and a skateboard on it! (This cutie mark is based on their answer during the career presentation.)

The whole class was in awe to see them earn it in class, and Dev was rather jealous at first. Ultimately respects them, though.

Jasmine

- Jasmine is a kirin! She reminds me a bit of Autumn Blaze, I think they'd be friends if they were in the same mlp universe.

- She dyes herself with magic to get those blue stripes, spots on her mane and tail, and leopard or cheetah spots (based on the print on her shorts).

- Her cutie mark has to do with her love of music / singing. Even if a bit scratchy & rough right now, passion for something can definitely lead you down plenty of paths you want to be on in the future!

AU Info

- The area they live in has a lot of different creatures living together

- Most of the main character names are easily fantasy names, so I'm keeping them the same for the most part unless the name is less mlp-like. Will likely give them different last names though!

No problem!! :D

Glad you’re excited and enjoyed seeing my comment ^^ (Equally, I also started grinning a lot from seeing your response and got a rush of adrenaline. Which is great because I have been tired all day lol)

I have converted that energy into a sketch of Wilted Pit ~

Kid Icarus hyperfixation has returned to me FULL force so I went on a quest for content and found farvaduvet’s really pretty style and cool roleswap au :)

I hecking love the designs SO much omgoshhhhh 

So I decided to try and draw Dark Pit (Pit in this AU)

@farvaduvet HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO ABSORB YOUR ENTIRE STYLE AND ABILITY TO DRAW DYNAMIC POSES AND DESIGNS A LOT

Anyways,, this is a very messy WIP for something even cooler if my hands allow me to draw more for it and my editing program works properly for what I have in mind :P
