Art of Cat Brooks

some pics of Folly for an updated artfight ref

listen. it's a better movie this way. it makes so much more sense. well. like. slightly more sense. zira can be shenzi even. maybe scar promised her the hyenas could fully take over after he died? like, maybe it was a lie, and he fully intended to produce a lion heir, but he didn't get around to it before he died. i know the hyenas ended up killing scar, but work with me here this makes more sense than zira the lioness and her whole group existing. the hyenas get banished by simba and start regretting they killed scar. it's fine. nuka can just be banzai. and ed can be there. nothing else changes. baby kiara goes into the outlands and has a little adventure with baby hyena kovu. it's fine. it's good. it's a better movie. it makes the ending good. so there you go

drew up ref pic for the anteater design i bought. she is an older lady. i'm not sure what her deal is yet! i'm so bad at having characters that aren't already attached to known fictional universes lol. i feel like she should just have an old lady name. Eunice. Mildred. Wilma. something like that

3 Flight Rising scenes: a detective investigates a crime scene, a corven sings for a fallen raptorik in the aftermath of a battle, and a cozy tavern

Snapshots from my Flight Rising lair! Cross-posted from my FR sideblog, @flightdescending, where I did a lot of rambling about them

some cartoony pet portraits from christmas

i spent literally This ENTIRE Year feeling guilty about not doing a picture for lunar new year, which i have a tradition of doing. But I couldn't think of anything for Snake until i had a memory of seeing a snake with my late grandpa (Zadie) while we were walking around the house, which we did often when I visited. this was extremely out of my comfort zone so I put it off even longer, but I didn't want to let the year go by with the tradition broken so i made myself do it lol. here it is, my Year of the Snake picture almost a year late
