Grackle

This is a drawing of my mii I made based off an orange crush can. His name is Grackle Crush and in my mind he's the type of person to 👃 pixie sticks and smell of the tuna sandwich he ate for lunch.

I love my son ❤️

Dragonborn

Meet Jabber. He was born because I wanted to see if I could draw a dragon. Can I? Eh....

His color scheme was copper...ish

His whole thing is that he was born to two folk heros with his four clutchmates and is the only one who still needs to earn his big boy name despite being well over the age to do so. Obviously, he sets out to become a hero just like mama and papa so he can lose his hatchling name and get called something much more appropriate.

Why does he have hair?... OMG GET OFF MY BACK! I'm sorry, okay!? I can't draw bald people, they look weird! But you didn't have to point it out! Now I'm humiliated in front of my thousands of fans that are real and not hallucinations...

Gnome

Meet Alodi, also known as Alodellia Elistrae. She's a forest gnome and that's about it. I'm not gonna lie I just wanted to draw someone who would sound like Entrapta (She-Ra POP) or Libby (Ghost and Molly McGee).

Also can you tell I was practicing lighting and shading a little bit with the last two?

Uhh...

I'm not gonna lie to you, I can't for the life of me remember what this was supposed to be. All I know is that it kinda looks like that nonbinary baby hormone monster from Big Mouth.

I think this was supposed to be a tiefling and aasimar mix? Also I wanted to use a whole bunch of colors that were visually appealing together. I definitely did at least one of those right.

Now keep in mind she'd never actually dress this nice in real like. She's a cargo pants connoisseur and a hoodie hogger.

Review

I am overjoyed. For a game in early access I'm quite pleased with the plethora of options. I only left the game with two complaints:

Why are all the glasses bigger frames? Justice for thin framed girlies

Pls I beg of you let me adjust the sensitivity

Bonus - Parafolk can't multitask (ie eat & watch TV) but then again could the Sims? I argue 90% of the time no they can't. But hey, at least they don't cancel my task to go play blick-block or dance. So maybe it's for the best that they don't.

Bonus BONUS - The trees! OMG THE TREES! When I'm far they exist, and when I'm close they don't so I can see. Reasonable, A+. However, sometimes you are both too close and too far, causing the tree to flash in and out of existence until you move the camera. (So it's my fault.) Currently I have become enemies with the tree right outside my para's property line that I can't delete.

So apart from that one specific tree that I hate with all by being, I'd rate the game 9/10.

Would I recommend buying it?

Well, I guess that depends on your logic. I only have 5 hours in the game so I'm no where near the point of deciding if the $40 price is worth what is currently available. HOWEVER, and this is why I purchased it, if the prices are expected to raise as we get further along in development the team must believe they have something worth the price. So it's $40 now, maybe it'll be $70 by time the game is completely done. And would you rather spend $40 on a game that's worth $70 or full price and you're not even promised it'll be worth the price.

But if you asked me the same question without money maxxing I'd say yeah :p

Wow a character with an actual plot!? Who woulda thought I knew how to do that!

Melrose is one of my oldest ocs, so old in fact she's gone through sooo many name changes that I don't remember her original one!

Her original concept was a goblin who was interested in magic and tried desperately to become a witch by training under a much wiser and older mentor. Can you tell I was inspired by toh?

Her's her original "adult" design where she becomes the owner of a tavern that doubles as an apothecary.

YEESH, look at that quality. I'd like to argue I've improved. I mean what's even going on with her hair?

Gemheart

Gemheart was a clan founder, joining MarshClan at 10 moons old. He excelled quickly, moreso as he grew older, becoming a close confidant to their leader Duststar—who would eventually die in a snow storm.

When the kits were born, he and Embertail weren't really mates. Neither truly loved the other, their children were born out of nothing but biology. However, it's shameful to have kits with someone who isn't your mate, so he played his part... And by that I mean he was completely absent in his children's life and completely ignored Embertail. It wasn't until her death that he was forced to play an active fatherly role. He disliked his sons the most, both Maplesplash and Breezeheart heavily resembled her and Nightrun wasn't his.

When his kits started dying, leaving only one that was truly his remaining, he became harsh. Gemheart pushed for Breezeheart to not be so softhearted to the kits of the clan, especially his own. And when he became leader he practically forced his son into the deputy position.

He died at (roughly) 166 moons to a group of rouges that attacked the clan. When Gemstar died, he had joined StarClan never having truly acknowledged the fact he had pushed his son into a position he never wanted.

Embertail

TW : Postpartum Depression, Suicide, Unhappy marriage/situationship

Embertail was already grown when she joined the group that later were known as the founders of MarshClan. Her twolegs had abandoned her after she got sick, leaving her defenseless as a declawed she-cat.

She was particularly close with a tom named Firefur, however he never returned her affection leading her to meet Gemheart. The two become mates not long after—or, that's what she thought. In the time between becoming mates with Gemheart and having her kits, not much happened. She was injured by a dog at one point and even managed to mentor an apprentice named Featherpaw.

Exactly 20 moons after becoming mates she gives birth to a rather large litter, even adopting a little tom kit after he was found alone and starving... However motherhood wasn't as she was promised. The other queens seemed to live, breath, and eat their current roles right up but she just couldn't. She loved each and every one of her kits but she couldn't find it in herself to like them. She tried to talk to her mate but he brushed her off.

When her litter was three moons old and weened, she was finally able to leave the camp. Lots of thoughts were making the silence of the marsh loud and unbearable, like these icky feelings that had been piling up for moons now we're finally ready to burst. She didn't realize what she had done until StarClan greeted her with sadness in their eyes, the taste of death berries still potent on her tongue.

Maplesplash and Pineface

The first born and the most energetic. Maplesplash had always been a bit of a go-getter. It's why he paired so well with Pineface. Even as kits they were menaces, and that didn't stop when they were apprentices either.

When their sister died, they had been the two to make sure Breezeheart and Nightrun didn't get stuck in a slump, especially Breezeheart who had a habit of thinking the world was out to get him.

However, all good things come to an end. Together they died in a flood trying to save their clan mates.

Hopeflight

Nervous and skittish, Hopeflight had always been the odd one out of her littermates. Maplesplash and Pineface were energetic and boisterous while Breezeheart and Nightrun were grumpy and tired. Despite this she was particularly closer with Pineface and Breezeheart.

At 28 moons she was crushed by a monster, not given nearly enough time to live a life. Too young to be given near infinite knowledge of the universe and exactly how and when everything would happen. To see events play out as foretold nearly every time made her worry gravely for Breezeheart's future. After all, no one will live nearly as long as he will.

Nightrun

Being adopted has its perks. For example: you're not blessed with the supposed curse that your family has.

Nightrun liked to live his life rather boring, he had no dreams of becoming some hero or villain, he just wanted to be some guy. However it's hard to be just another cat in the crowd when you're both physically different from everyone else and apart of a family that death surrounds. It didn't help that he also managed to drive away a large dog during his warrior assessment.

He was the first of his siblings to have an apprentice: Stonepaw. (But that's not hard since like... 60% of them are dead). He even had a litter with a widowed tom named Willowneedle. Batstrike, Birdgaze, Kinkthroat, and Ryespark would be the only children he ever has as eventually he ends things with his mate.

At some point, long after Breezestar becomes leader, he's made into his deputy. However it only lasted for about six moons before he realized he was too old to be doing this anymore. He is the first and only of his litter to retire. The next moon he dies in his sleep from an unknown cause.

Where's Breezeheart?

As much as I love him... His story is too long to summarize. One of these days, I'm going to make a whole post dedicated to going over every aspect of his life from birth all the way to losing his last of nine lives. I'll even get a bit into his afterlife.

To sum his life up in a nutshell:

TW : Suicide attempts

Mini Dump of some drawings I made that I didn't like enough to post them by themselves.

⚠️ TW for the unemployment ⚠️

In 2018 I was welcomed into the world of roleplay with a game on Roblox called Warriors: The Forest Territory.

That was until early 2020 when—due too unforeseen circumstances—my parents had to buy Internet again so my sister and I could do online school. That's when I learned my favorite game was dead, and in its place a new game. Warrior Cat: Ultimate Edition.

Although I don't play it anymore and haven't in a while, I made too many OCs to count in that game. Whirlspring being one of them. I actually didn't use him much since I often played medicine cats and he certainly isn't that.

🌸 Mini Story 🌸

Unlike most kits, Waspkit nor his sister Mantiskit were born in the clan. Their mother was a loner who was simply wandering the forest for a safe place to kit. When she found a small burrow beneath a large oak tree she thought she'd be safe, but the birth was two strenuous. She only managed to birth two of her kits as the third got stuck. She died, but somehow her remaining children survived all thanks to Waspkit. If it weren't for his loud little mewls, Amberpaw and her mentor Frondsplash would've never found them. The clan's caretaker, Racoontail, happily took them into the nursery.

He was apprenticed to a senior warrior named Claybreak who, despite her age and rank, was a troublesome and playful she-cat. During his apprenticeship, a small white kit nearly drowned in the river that borders FjordClan and CliffClan (shown above). He was taken in and named Spottedkit. He remains rather irrelevant for Wasppaw for the entirety of his apprenticeship/Spottedkit's kithood.

At 10 moons old, Waspsnow earns his full warrior name. Despite his young age she shows skills beyond his years (perhaps thanks to some dark assistance). Two moons later, Spottedpaw begins his training and Mantisspore earns her full name. All was well until he was about thirteen moons old.

Newleaf was one of the hardest seasons for all the clans, only second to Leaf-bare. The near constant raining makes it hard to track anything down or even see fish wriggling beneath the water. And as if that weren't bad enough, some moons the tide pools, creeks, and rivers flood. What no expected was for the rain to get so bad that the fjord flooded. Violent waves crashed, causing water to begin to flood the camp. Then it crashed again and cats began to panic. Snapstar ordered an evacuation, Waspsnow bolted to the nursery to assist Racoontail help Freezesky and her two kits out of the nursery before it flooded to high. One of the herbilists—Rimefuzz—died trying to help an elder—Nightblossom escape the rapid waves. Three other warriors perished as well.

Just when everyone thought it was safe a towel came from the water. 7-moon-old Spottedpaw was stuck against a tree that had fallen into camp due to the strength of the fjord's flooding, the water was rushing far too fast for the small, fluffy cat to escape. When everyone seemed to have decided he was destined to hunt with StarClan, Waspsnow dove in. Somehow he manages to grab Spottedpaw by his scruff, dragging him up onto the fallen tree and to dry land. Both inhaled a lot of water, so much so that every cough and hack Waspsnow made more water fell from his maw. Meanwhile Spottedpaw couldn't help but find the warrior unbelievably courageous: this was the start of a very long one-sided crush.

Not much to say about her just yet, working on making a clan by hand for clan gen.

Anyway, here's the sketch

His theme song—and namesake—before I start rambling :]

Dante Norville Maleficium. His name is inspired by whirlybird's song, I liked the idea of having this guy who overworks himself to the point of being stuck in his own inferno of sorts. He's so passionate about becoming the best magic user that he gets burned. Literally since as a kid he nearly blew himself up warning some burns on his legs. He had a limp too, causing him to use his staff as a cane.

His design is inspired by Chicken Hare. Or, it was but I had to make some tweaks. Originally I was going to give Dante these talons rather than human feet but after barely figuring out how to draw wings I decided that can be a redesign later down the road if I so desperately want it. Either way he's deeply ashamed about his appearance—specifically his wings. They're too small to even let him glide and not to mention they come out at such an awkward place on his body: his hips.

It didn't help that he grew up in Seoqaseon (a country in my fantasy/DnD world) which had a 99% human population. And they tend to be unforgiving to those who sported "unnaturally" features. Around his 20s he had acquired enough money to head off to Brinwohrum (known as the melting pot: big seaside kingdom where all races are welcome.). His goal? Become a royal, well-respected mage of the Holloway family.

HOWEVER, there are a total of three magic schools that train state of the art magic users. He had absolutely no shot at getting picked if he didn't attend one, so he applied for [Name Pending] Academy.

Bonus Map:

Slowly working on a story concept.

My main idea is that Cass and Ryker meet in one way or another in their original timeline: I'm thinking something medieval? Due to both of them facing trauma, they're not all there in the head (in different ways) and decided to try some satanic ritual or something. Idk. Rather than a devil or whatever they were trying to summon, they instead get a God—The God of... Timeline? Or alternate realities? Whatever it is, it has the power to simply talk to Cassandra not only in this world but the next where she's a warrior cat or another where she's an adult in modern time hating life. They strike a deal: Cass and Ryker can hop from one world to another and in return they simply give the God some entertainment (via treating them like it's favorite trash TV show and it's the director~)

Fun fact: In almost every single timeline, Cassandra and Ryker not only met BUT they also strike up the very same deal with the very same God! When they do, the other versions of themselves can experience the other one's life for a bit. That means each different "show" can have a different plot. The expectation of this rule is if Ryker or Cassandra die before every meeting—otherwise they're always destined to cross paths. Ryker will always fall for her no matter how, when, or where. And in every timeline she will hate his pathetic, sniveling guts but never truly harm him because he's such an obedient rat. Maybe this will be the one show that finally sparks a romance subplot, who knows...

Side note: Is immortality the lack of life? You might be thinking: "are you an idiot? Immortality means you can't die (usually), how could it lack life!?" But that's the thing. Life is not without death as death is not without life. Both need to exist for the other to prosper. So if a being is incapable of death does that mean that they're incapable of life? You're not dead, you're not alive, you're immortal.

Bro I'm an idiot. Why did I give Tart a mohawk knowing damn well I don't know how to draw one most of the time. I'm setting him up for failure or at least a really uninteresting redesign. Like I was gonna have this whole second picture with pictures of them as kids or whatever and I immediately forgot how to draw the second I got to him.

Look at poor Custard! All by her lonesome.

The hardest part was her stupid hair. I really didn't want to put too much effort into this but it's not easy finding front facing pictures of people wearing their hair not only half up and half down but in pigtails (that would be preferably uneven). In the end I think the one I landed on was pretty good another the bangs are much nicer than Eloise's would be and she wouldn't have a lighter streak.

Here's the speed paint. Speed bash? Dash bash?
