Thank you so much you gave me a little more confidence with planning my story and such. It's been a little difficult for me to plan out the arcs and plot points and getting overwhelmed!
Hi Hi quick question cus I'm trying to get as much advice as I can getš š
Lore and planning how do you plan out certain plot elements do you have a writing process for it? along with concept art what was your process behind concept art and settings.
This is really my first time doing digital art and fully planning an AU and I just needed a little help when planning my AU!
Thanks for asking! It really depends on the scope of your AU, or whatever you're working on for that matter.
There are many different ideals to consider when it comes to worldbuilding but I tend to start with the characters first and then build the world around them. Over time, I can add some extra things to spruce up the world, but I always remember that whatever I add to the world has to be meaningful to the story at some point.
It's okay to not have EVERYTHING fleshed out before you start writing. Just have the most important aspects of the world made first, and build around those things. Should you want to expand the world later, do so should the story call for it.
I'd say have and outline of your story ready before you get too deep into worldbuilding. It'll help keep you focused on the story without getting too distracted by menial details you can add and consider later.
I'm pretty safe in this regard as I have quite the encyclopedia of Original Lore that I tend to use for all of my creative works, so it gives me a good foundation I can use on any project. You may not have this, and starting from scratch is difficult, but all you have to remember is stick to your story, themes, and characters, and build around them! :)
As for concept art, I tend to do a lot of sketching, most of my concept art is drawn in my sketchbook first and then refined digitally. As for what I make concept art of, I focus mainly on character design, as it's my strongest suit. Though I'm starting to get more into location design, as well, like floor plans for buildings and maps of important places.
I hoped this helped! And I wish you the best for your AU, too!
š Iām so excited for the upcoming LVL UP EXPO in Las Vegas! As a huge fan of "The Amazing Digital Circus", Iām thrilled to see so many incredible cast members announced as guests so far.
But I couldnāt help noticing that Amanda Hufford, the amazing voice behind Ragatha, hasnāt been announced yet! Amanda is not only a phenomenal talent but Iām also lucky to call them a friend. I know how much they love connecting with fans, so Iād love to help make them part of this incredible event!
This little animatic is my way of spreading the word. Letās show some love and make it happenānot just for @justtheclippy but for the entire amazing voice cast of "The Amazing Digital Circus"!
Big thanks to my amazing friends who lent their voices to Caine, Jax, and Pomni in this project. You guys are the best!

WARRIOR CATS AU ACTIVATEDš«
The Dark Forest is a truly terrifying place, infamous among cats everywhere.
Bughop, once a loyal and courageous warrior, finds herself ensnared in this nightmarish place, with no hope of escape. Plagued by memories of her past, she struggles to endure the torment.
As Bughop navigates this wretched place, she discovers that not all cats can withstand the suffering. Many cats lose their minds, transforming into savage and twisted versions of themselvesāunrecognizable, dangerous, and driven by madness.

If I do end up putting ships just be aware that you are allowed to ship anything in fanart and I wonāt be angy ā¤ļø
With all that said I must add that this is a wip and there is a TON of unfinished storylines and plot holes that I need to fix. And a name for Zooble COUGH. So just bear with meā¦ā¦.ā„
A small little fun fact: Ragatha is one of the main healers on the group
Omg its a cafe au...
Welp gonna add this to my practice drawing session..
This AU is a slice of life kinda story akin to that of anime that focuses on maid cafes and the like, as well as the everyday modern life of the TADC cast + my OC.
(p.s I have no clue what Im doing when making this master post. lol)
I am very excited about this AU and I hope you all enjoy this first little tidbit of the character introductions.
Also if you have any questions, wanna say something about the characters, wanna give some suggestions, funny ideas to draw, or anything,
(please send me asks I think it would be so fun) Anyway, Enjoy!
I will be updating this later when I have more.
Nooooooo Bestieeešš
I love how simulat are Ragathaās are it not evern funnyš„²š„²

PART 2! (TW- implied violence?
"Oh but Ziku, who are these very handsome die?"
Well I'm glad nobody asked, because that would ruin the joke!
The Die Quartet are OCs of mine that I created for TADC, and for what purpose? Well, they're the minds behind show's music!
Hidden just behind a corner or two, or four, These obliviously mischievous and enthusiastic quartet play whatever music they can, one that certainly matches the current "mood" of what the cast is going through. Meet Cuba, Dodeca, Tetra, and Octa, The Amazing Musical Performers, for The Amazing Digital Circus!
When the Circus was initially created, it was feeling too barren for a place that's meant to be "lively". And so, Caine went and copy-pasted himself four times, while replacing the heads with some die props he found on the floor, retexturing and adjusting their bodies, to fit their new roles.
A little bit of a code rewrite to make them able of producing any sounds all on their own to be musically intertwined, and the quartet was basically ready to go: but there's only one problem.
Caine completely forgot to remove the admin privileges from their code.
So once the four spawned, they immediately began floating around, dancing and creating the main theme for the circus, and did it all perfectly. So Caine decided that as long as they don't interfere with anything major in the circus and did their job as the musical minds behind the show/game's soundtracks, he doesn't really care about fixing this error and would rather let these four run rampant to create more songs.
Ever since then, the Die Quartet has been messing with every circus members, most of the time playing obnoxious music that fits the "current mood". You'll even see their canes dance to the tempo they've set, like some backup dancers.
Think of it like: You now have x4 Caines with dice heads, flying and snooping around, so that they can "improve the mood" with their music! Ain't that swell??
(But really, all they do is just annoy the Circus members just like Caine does, for the better or the worse. Probably the latter.)
Even though they've all been created at the same time and share the features of a die, they do not consider themselves as "brothers", and only see one another as colleagues instead.
Their names are related to the type of their die: Tetra (yellow), Dodeca (purple), Cuba (red), and Octa (green).
Despite being reused assets of Caine himself, they have distinct personalities that separate them from each other: Tetra is more joyful and playful, Dodeca is a more dramatic/theatric and over the top, Cuba is the natural lead and more stern than anybody, and Octa is the more closed off of the gang but willing to provide his best.
Yet, they all still lack awareness of personal space and boundaries just like Caine, and WILL be intrusive towards anyone they set their sights on, with the intent of predicting their mood and setting the current situation perfectly in musical form. (ex. if a character is sneaking, all four will follow "cautiously" behind while one imitates/pulls out a tiny piano playing to the theme of "tip-toeing". You know, like a cartoon gag.)
Although they can perfectly imitate ANY sound or instrument imaginable, They'll still pull out a "physical" instrument if the gag calls for it.
You can pretty much draw fanart of them! In fact I would REALLY love to see it and I encourage it! Really, just don't claim them as your own, or steal their designs.
NSFW of them is accepted, but please keep in mind that I have an SFW blog. Which means THERE ARE MINORS. Show them to me privately instead, I'd still love to see it <3
While NSFW is accepted (privately), please make it a morally decent one, because I don't really wanna see some disgusting stuff. This pretty much includes: non-con, scat, etc.
Aside from that though, I hope you all enjoyed these four! I really love how they turned out, and would love to draw them more. I was initially hesitant on showing my TADC OCs because I don't think people would like 'em, but fuck it.
My boys, they deserve to be seen even if just by a few people on the internet.
