Cat adopt bases

I was never fully satisfied with the first one I made, but seeing how much it was used really inspired me! This one features more options as well and I hope you enjoy it!

Feel free to request my toyhou.se base page as a character to have examples show up in that 2021-11-01 08:41:31 +0000 UTC View Post

This is halloween all wips/concept art

Going to try my hardest to finish this tomorrow for birbs to watch the final thing!! Artistminerva has done an excellent job on the rough animation and backgrounds, I'm doing the character animation and having a lot of fun with it!! Antpelt's wheel got all messed up though so that is a bit of a setback but I am so excited to complete this thing >:)

FINISHED PART 

WC zine pieces

Procreate brushes

Download by saving the set to procreate files, tap the + in the brush settings on the app and import the whole file to automatically import all at once!

LAYLOM & Millhaven speedpaint

Both done on procreate!
First one took 2.5 hours and the second 7! 

Millhaven all wips + high res frames

i’m doing a collab on a part for the Millhaven MAP!

I only took care of characters assets and the storyboard but I still had loads of fun making some bgs of these for you! I’m really in love with the last one with a bunch of effects slapped on, and I often get overwhelmed trying to shade stuff but this was so so fun and I’m proud and definitely look forward to trying more dramatic lighting in the future!

Traditional cat studies/concepts

been doing these while travelling   back home from uni over the weekend, I really wish to improve my cat anatomy and I always forget how absolutely beautiful and inspiring all the reference photos are, my camera roll is overfilled with pretty kitties

I also got into Sear’s fall themed warriors zine and have started sketching Graywing and Turtletail concepts+ a bonus Owleyes, Sparrowfur and Pebbleheart sketch, struggling majorly with getting Graywing to look the way that I wa...

Wip dump

Working on a ton of projects right now and here are a few glimpses of some!

Helped out on Ebony sky (Just did cleanup, backgrounds doesn't belong to me+ rough animation was done by Crazllana!)

Lined the thumbnail for my upcoming Crowsong MAP!

Art prize for Ayote

Millhaven MAP part wip!

Lastly the good old sack assignment for uni :)

I also got into a fall themed warriors Zine hosted by Sear, can't wait to finally get an excuse to create my own DOTC de...

Easy light/shade for animation pictorial

This technique should work  with any art program that uses clipping but I made it using ClipStudioPaint and included the file for those interested in checking it out more! I used this technique for my Tropical Scourge MAP and I'm really thrilled how muc easier this is over hand drawm rimlight etc!

My pictorials are somewhaqt all over the place so I'm open to questions if things still are unclear!

Could also maybe make this a future ych too it was so quick and fun aha

Speedpaint mix

83 hours of work compressed into this short but long vid!
These are all from older projects that I'm still very proud of and I hope they're fun to watch, all done using my own custom procreate brush!

Animation practices

Here are some school stuff I probably won’t share elsewhere!

Scrapped gem OC animatic (audio warning)

I couldn't find exactly when I made this but It was among, if not my first, attempt in using Clipstudiopaint hence why there is no camera nor tweening, I remember not understanding how that worked at all aha

This features mine and my friend's gemsonas (seen originally in this animatic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64y2JoygCPs ) her full story can be found on her toyhou.se now too and this scene in pa...

Cat kitty Cat meme wip

uoouoo I couldn't resist,,, I should be able to work on this while in the process of moving when I cant animate on my wacom,,, It's gonna include 17 other ocs belonging to various friends and inspos, the one theme being warriors/artists I admire and look up to!!! Super excited!! Having it done for 70k feels like the most logical plan but since the audio is so relevant now I also want it done asap >:0

Most of the song has quite the suggestive lyrics so be prepared if you search up t...

Art dump

2 owed fullbodies for 2 new ocs I adopted recently! someday I will get to draw them aha,,, also a gift for Gignaute, coded another oc page for him and you can expect more headshots like it because I finally have a brand new ipad to work on wohoo! All thanks to you guys<333

Mapleshade MAP full art+files+mini speedpaints

This has to be one of my favorite projects in a while! Because I worked on 2 different files the speedpaints are a bit wack so I figured they were more efficient to have as small gifs!

Here is the bubble brush I used! : https://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/58979-free-water-bubbles-photoshop-brushes (compatible with csp and PS!!)
For the water floor I used the standard w...

Do you love me MAP wip+OC wip

Finally back home and it's right back to work, super happy! I had the luck to get a short map part in this dreamie map and I'm currently collabing with meow286!
I also bought an adopt from Giginaute and his name's Sootspot and is Ashkit's dad! A rascal who's very competitive and compassionate, I have tons of lore about them and I also happened to find a perfect song for the potential storytelling of their tragic deaths :,D

Oc sketches/magpie lore

Been doing a lot of brainstorming on Magpiewing’s story, her family members and even how she ties into Crowsong’s story!

It’s not much artwise but for those curious to read I’ll drop some preliminary ideas cause I’m super happy and stoked on where it’s going, now I’m only praying for enough time to develop it all!

As established; Omensky and some family members joined Corvidclan when she was a small kit, the other half stayed behind on the other side of Cl...

Wip bundle

I have a hard time focusing on any specific project so I deal with it by jumping between them over and over aha

I finally dared to start cleaning up the ghibli map part after coming up with a decent style adaption of crow at last

while "studying" Kiki's delivery service I started on a run cycle of magpie that hopefully will be finished for a fun little idea

Then a wip of a short animation celebrating the 1 years anniversary of crowsong/theangry river map (using said music f...

Chibi base+ Crowsong

Made a chibi base!! (mainly the idea of making clothes designs for character reference sheets etc!)

Hopefully everyone are able to open the .psd file but feel free to ping me on the patreon discord server to recieve transparent lineart!

- Do not use for commissions/requests (personal use/gifts/adopts only)
- Keeping my logo is optional but highly preferred (provided in the file so it can be moved around)
-Lineart can be frankensteined however you wish

In the blue storyboard + backgrounds

Upon request of a patron (and my bf) I am uploading the full res of these shots if anyone wishes to use them as pc or phone backgrounds! Please only use them for this purpose!

CSP pictorials (shading & quick-color)

Used this artfight attack to make some small but hopefully helpful tutorials on clipstudiopaint! 

I remember the joy of learning how to quickly color instead of having to color outlines for hours and I also learned how to clip shading layers not log ago too and it has been of much help :,D

Super proud of the artpiece as well, I rarely dare nor have the time to make more detailed rendering!

Scrapped sketches and concepts

Finally found enough sketches to make any interesting post with cut content :,DD Def would like to finish the Virva ones (bird playing instruments) along with pirate crow!! 

The others are early Falcon sketches and storyboards for what was gonna be an original meme (diamonds by sam smith) but it was made before I could get anywhere :,)

Then we have some sketches I never used for the ghibli map and finally scrapped sketches from the current original meme I'm working on+ Yami...

Fake MAP part wip

Resketched this concept from paper, I love this song and hope to finish this someday! There are a good 2-3 projects/storypoints happening before this too so it'll be a while, the spoiler part is that the scar (appearing in one of my previous map parts) was given to her by her father, the one and only time he's ever physically harmed her........... 

All "When you feel the time is right" wips

Paw pictorial/studies

Finally took some time to put this together since a paw tutorial has been heavily requested! The tricky part is the fact that I don't have much of a process, I have always been someone who just redraws until I have things memorized rather than building it up with shapes/guidelines!
I tried to make a somewhat showcase of how I translate paws into my style and I hope it can help in some way!

General tips is to understand the 3d shapes, sculpting a small paw yourself and work with di...
