Artist Tips

ᚑ✦ Catfish, the Seawing Dragonet ✦ᚑ 28 September, 2024

❥ Interactions are appreciated.

As some of you may know, a group of friends and I have started a rewrite/rp of Arc 1 of WOF. The prophecy now includes all 7 tribes and here is the seawing dragonet.

art hint: people always share resources for reference pictures of people, but if you are an artist who draws cats a lot i offer you the CFA - The Cat Fanciers Association website. they are an association dedicated to professional show cats

you just go on the website and select breeds

in there you can select to see all the breeds they have or choose one you want

once you have selected a breed you can click on Breed and National Winners

from there you get a big gallery with pictures of show cats of this specific breed

at the top of every gallery you can sort the cats by pelt color and pattern

they have many different breeds, with lots of pictures of the cats in different poses and with different colors, its a good place to find references for cat pictures (though i think looking for show cats in general is a good way to find them)

you would think that "using 'you're gay and you have gay sex' as an insult is homophobic even when it's directed towards fascists" wouldn't be a controversial statement on the supposedly "queerest place on the internet" and yet

I love stained glass.

This was largely inspired by this collection of photos; I'd been wanting to do a redraw of an old stained glass founders drawing from a while back and it was such a perfect reference I knew I had to give it a go. It kinda fits into my medieval au, although it's a lot more extravagant than is probably realistic lol.

Some fun things to note:

It's based off of the ending of The First Battle with the founders swearing their devotion to Starclan. It's more supposed to depict how the modern clans (or kingdoms) remember the mythology rather than being an unbiased depiction of events.

It's displayed at four trees, hence the oak leaves bordering each window.

When Sky's Kingdom left the forest Cloudstar broke Skystar's window in anger. Rather than repair it the other monarchs just removed the window entirely.

The two skeletons represent Jackdaw's Cry and Falling Feather; I imagine they're remembered as a cautionary tale about the dangers of sharing blood across kingdom borders (as well as representing the mass grave buried beneath four trees)

Storm is remembered as the first angel of Starclan and is said to be the one who covers the stars and moon with clouds to show Starclans anger.

I have discovered and become obsessed with Slay the Princess. While I cannot draw humans, and so cannot draw the princesses, I am able to draw animals.

So here is my Smitten design !

SAME SEX MARRIAGE FOR ITALY

Hey italiani!! There's an official ministry of justice referendum to get same sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couple in being actually married and not just "uniti civilmente". This will grant them the same rights in adoption and stepchild adoption.

Of course the big news arent talking about it so the only way to let it circulate is through spreading the info ourselves.

It needs 500k signatures in 3 months and while that alone will not automatically grant equal rights it will be a HUUUGE step forward in italy, lately quite discriminatory politic.

Here's the link to the referendum! Se siete italiani e potete entrare con lo SPID firmate!

If you're not italian, please spread the word as it might reach someone that can sign!

I have been in the mood for art trades recently, and I have decided to use them as opportunities to fill in some Commission Examples. The character belongs to duskisdead (instagram).

One more joke hate: You may claim to be a woman but biologically you are a featherless biped and thus a man.

Finally a good argument for why I'm actually a man
