GrimmRatt wrote:Anything about drawing diffrent angles of characters? Im pretty good at keeping away from same face syndrome but i kind of stay with basically the same poses

poses are always a struggle, but the most important thing to remember with standing poses is the characters centre of gravity, the point where most of their weight is centered, a line with their weight equally divided going down is a good way to keep this right. without this the character will look unbalanced and it will ruin the drawing unless they're meant to look like they're falling.
other than that, the illustrations that come with sewing patterns for clothes tend to showcase creative poses that still show off the whole outfit.
I experiment alot just about every time I have to pose a character so this might not be very helpful but at least I tried ^^""

eviolite wrote:Something about digitigrade legs for anthros, and maybe posing, like how to place the body to make a stance look natural?

sorry it took me a year to respond, I keep forgetting I have this thread up and I've had near permanent artblock for a few months now but the important thing to keep in mind when posing a bipedal character is their centre of gravity (orange line), the character needs to look balanced with the line dividing their weight in equal halves, if the centre is off the character wont look like they could realisticly stand up and we can see that very easily. for me it can also help to imagine the skeleton of the character, it doesnt need to be too accurate, just some lines that indicate where big bones would be (pink on single leg sketches, blue on fullbody).
Im still really bad at explaining my process but I hope the sketches can help ^^"

OOO THIS IS VERY HELPFUL FOR DIGIGRADE LEGS

Here are the new youngest members of HollowClan...


Waterkit
** Pale tabby she-kit
** Quiet

Posykit
** Grey tabby tom-kit
** Bouncy

Roarkit
** Grey tabby and white tom-kit
** Nervous

(I have not drawn their mother, Vinnie, yet because she's stuck in the sick pose due to recovering from birth and i don't wanna draw her wrong before seeing her whole coat)
Bramblefeather returned to camp earlier than their clanmates had expected them to, which worried them at first. Usually, when the medicine cat goes out for herbs, shes gone all day. The second thing that worried them was the tired looking long-furred queen following her through the camp entrance. Warriors quickly padded up to help carry in the kits that the two she-cats were tiredly carrying. The others helped the new queen, Vinnie, get settled in the nursery.

The first kit was named Waterkit for her wide blue eyes. The second was named Posykit for his fluffy flower-like fur. Last named was Roarkit, who immediately made his presence in the nursery known by mewling at the top of his little lungs.

Vinnie had fled from her home where she lived with Twolegs. There, she was constantly in hiding out of fear of getting attacked for seemingly no reason. Knowing she was going to kit soon and not wanting her kits to live in the same conditions, she ran. Luckily for her, she ended up in HollowClan territory.

Patrol Activities

Beetlemoss, Wildscreech, and Sharppaw go out hunting. Wildscreech helps talk Sharppaw through his hunting crouch and is proud when his apprentice leaps onto a rat they were stalking and swiftly catches it!

Bramblefeather hears weak mewling as she is traversing the territory, looking for herbs. Moving through the thick brush, she comes across a queen desperately trying to quiet her brand new litter. Cautiously, Bramblefeather tells the queen that she means no harm and offers to help her back to the camp where she can safely raise her kits. The queen graciously accepts the kindness.

Sharppaw sits up straighter as they're called forward to be named an apprentice. While they try to look calm and collected, they still tremble a bit as they touch noses with Wildscreech.

Introducing...

Sharpkit!
** White and pale tabby tom
** Daydreamer
* 5 moons old as of Moon 0

Sharpkit was found by a HollowClan patrol. They had been abandoned in the forest by their twoleg.

ImageCaveclaw was born into Jaggedclan as a warrior, but always had felt the ways of the medicine cats to be his true calling He was a perfect warrior, huge and strong, and having many scars from past battles, not at all befitting of a medicine cat. But it still called to him, and he studied in secret how to heal others. When the time came to tell the clan, they were violently opposed to this, and forbade him to continue the path he had chose.

And so, he chose his passion over that of the clan. He wandered for many moons, meeting and healing many different cats along his travels before finally hearing of the elusive and mysterious Moorclan, and would decide to go to them.

Though Image Arcstar was suspicious of such a strange-looking medicine cat, the clan was growing faster than he could manage, and the help would be needed. And so, Caveclaw was allowed to join the clan.

Beestar's Leadership Ceremony

Image

Beestalk leaves to speak with StarClan. They close their eyes and are immediately surrounded by their loved ones, friends, and Clanmates who have passed on. Stars shine throughout their pelts, and their eyes are warm as they greet the new leader.

A queen introduces themself as Finclover. They softly touch their nose to Beestalk's head, giving them a life for compassion.

Weedjaw walks up to Beestalk next, offering a life for clear judgement. They smile, and state that the Clan will do well under Beestalk's leadership.

Fidgetkit introduces themself and bounds up to the new leader, reaching up on their hind legs to give them a new life for protection.

Mantiswhistle states their name and steps forward to give Beestalk a life for determination.

Daisypaw, an unfamiliar apprentice, stretches up to give a life for justice. Their eyes glimmer as they wish Beestalk well, and step back for the next cat.

Larkpelt, an elder, introduces themself and strides forward to give a new life for resilience.

Rowansnow, an unknown warrior, gives a life for strength. The cat turns around to take their place back in StarClan, leaving room for the next cat to give a life.

The next cat is not familiar. They smell of catmint and other herbs, and have a noble look to them. The cat tells Beestalk that their name is Wildhail. They offer a life for patience.

Heronstar, one of StarClan's oldest leaders, looks at the new leader with pride. They give a last life, the gift of tireless energy.

StarClan hails Beestalk by their new name, Beestar, telling them that their old life is no more. They are granted guardianship of WormClan, and are told to use their new power wisely. The group of starry cats yowls Beestar's name in support. Beestar wakes up feeling a new strength within their body and know that they are now ready to lead the Clan.

<-NEXT | FIRST |PREV->


ImageStagspeckle always had a love for adventure. Exploring new places both excited and cleared the young cat's mind. After becoming deputy, he often used his freetime to wander off into the territory, and sometimes beyond it. It was his only solace from the stress of camp at this point.

It was on one of these walks that he met another cat, it wasn't one that he recognized, but he recognized the scent. It was of Heatherclan, a prosperous clan far off from Moorclan camp. Stagspeckle could never fit into the defensive, hateful attitude that many cats felt twoards other clans. If anything, he saw them as allies. So of course, he struck up a friendly conversation with the blue bengal.

Things would never quite be the same after this encounter...

    moon 11 - part 1

    dampfade wanders the forest alone, looking for some herbs sealake sent her to find. he described them in vivid detail, however she was never good at that medicine cat stuff. while searching, a strange scent reachers her nose. it smells like a mix of wet dog and mud. just as she pin-points where the smell is coming from, the leaves rustle and out jumps a rogue. the smell gets stronger and she finds it funny that a cat who looks like mud also has a scent like it. he introduces himself as noodle and after some funny witty comments, all which make dampfade laugh, the two head back to quailclan camp. siltstar later names him mudleap.

    berrypelt and mothaster were sent on patrol together. the two haven’t talked much, but they hit it off instantly and talk clan drama as the patrol the border. up ahead lays a thunderpath and when the two get closer, they hear the distressed mewls of an injured cat. upon closer inspection, a large, rough looking tom is limping along the side of the path, his fur standing on end and a pungent scent of fear clouds the air. the two hesitantly approach him, berrypelt reeking of concern and mothaster just being cautious. the grumpy, injure tom stops when they reach a respectable distance and lets out low growls. mothaster takes pity on him and remembers when duckfur brought her back to the clan when she needed help. she offers the same olive branch to him and surprisingly, he takes it. on the way back, he introduces himself as jaggeddrift, and after being tended to by the medicine cat he decides to stick around for a bit for the easy food. but of course, he would never admit to having grown to like the camp.



    there was another kitty pet the patrol found but my game didn’t save so im not worried about marking her down ;0; plus her name was just the letter “L”???

This chapter doesn't actually take place on Faatasi, I wanted to iron out some of the end-game details before getting to the world-building (quite literally in this setting). Star will be the main character for this part but perspective will likely shift among the other players if need be.

Will finish up this post later as well~

Image Arcstar only became more and more distant from ImageRavenface as time went on. He became more distant from everyone, infact. The leader was deadset on trying to prove himself to starclan, trying to follow the code to every line so that he could be the best leader there was. Though, by doing this, he became strict and cold, only interacting with his clanmates to correct them on their code. It drove Ravenface mad.

The elder tabby couldn't do anything but watch as the leader he once admired became someone that deeply confused him. He loved him, yes, but now it was mixed with frustration and hurt...As he attempted to deal with these emotions, ImageMistclaw was there for him to lean on. Unquestioningly loyal and kind, Ravenface needed Mistclaw more than he really knew. He'd come to understand this attraction to Mistclaw as similar to that that he had with any of his past interests. The elder tabby had always been quick to attract to other males his age, and he thought this to be the same. Which is partially why against his better judgement, he came up with a plan to pull Arcstar back to him...

Ravenface and Mistclaw announced that they were now in a relationship with eachother. On Mistclaw's part, he understood it to be entirely genuine, but Ravenface was only half-serious. His true goal was to get Arcstar to feel horribly jealous, surely seeing him with another cat would ignite something in the distant leader, right?

Arcstar certainly felt something. He never really personally adressed his feelings for Ravenface. Seeing two cats that had been his oldest friends dive into a relationship together should have been an occasion for celebration. On the outside, he congradulated the two, but he couldn't help the horrible knot he felt in his stomach when he looked at the two...when he looked at Ravenface...

Ravenface was having fun entertaining this little relationship, feeling like a little mastermind of emotions. But as the moons went by, he found himself playing into his fake relationship more than he realized. Mistclaw's was so earnest and kind, the elder tabby felt so safe with him...As they spent their days together,Ravenface ended up realizing how much happier he was just letting himself be with Mistclaw's. He felt a type of security and love he'd never felt before, and for awhile, he let himself forget about his jealousy plot.

But not for long...he mulled over it in his head....this perfect cat had came into his life, and he used him. Everything they had together...was based on a lie...Ravenface knew he couldn't live with this guilt, at some point he would have to tell him. He just hoped that he wouldn't lose the trust of Mistclaw's...hoped that he'd still love him after he knew the truth...

It is currently Newleaf.

Smokepaw gets dragged out to sea, but is rescued in time. He's got water in his lungs. he's wet now sorry

---

“Hey, Pikepaw. Dare you to race me.” Smokepaw was upbeat as he spoke to the other apprentice. The brown & white apprentice looked to him skeptically.
“Why?” She asked flatly.
“C’mon. We don’t have anything else to be doing, so,” Smokepaw said, wiggling a bit in front of her. The brown & white apprentice’s tail flicked begrudgingly before she got to her paws, seeming to relent.
“Fine, since I don’t think you’ll leave me alone if I don’t.”
“That’s the spirit.” Without another word Smokepaw tore off, and Pikepaw sputtered before she booked it after him.
“Hey, that’s cheating!” She called, keeping steady pace behind him as they ran along the shoreline of their territory.
“Shoulda started running sooner then!” Smokepaw called back to her. Sand scattered under their paws as they ran, before Smokepaw turned and skidded to a stop.
“Looks like I’m the winner.” He puffed his chest out. Pikepaw slowed to a stop and scowled at him.
“You only won ‘cause you cheated.” She nudged him, and he grinned at her. “If we’d’ve started at the same time I could’ve smoked you.”
Smokepaw laughed at that, and Pikepaw gave him a more firm shove. He stumbled on his feet for a moment as he toppled into the wet sand where the waves came in, and he giggled.
“Hey, there’s no need for violence.” He got to his feet. “We should probably head back, we don’t want to make everyone worry.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Pikepaw said, and the two of them headed on their way back. Smokepaw padded along the wet sand, recoiling a little bit at the feeling of it. As they walked, Pikepaw looked over to the sea, feeling dread as she saw a wave beginning to tower. She couldn’t react in time as the wave overtook Smokepaw and dragged him out.
“Smokepaw!” She called, frantic, before she noticed a patrol led by Brambleminnow. “Brambleminnow! The waves took Smokepaw!”
The brown tabby broke into a run as she launched herself into the ocean, locating the floundering apprentice. Despite the grey tabby’s squirming, Brambleminnow got a hold of him and began to head back to shore. Once they were a safe distance away she set the apprentice down, and Smokepaw hacked up water.
“What were you two thinking?” Brambleminnow said, voice stern. “Playing near the ocean like that!”
“We’re sorry!” Pikepaw said. “We didn’t know that would happen!”
“Well, we need to get him back to camp. Once Smokepaw sees Glowfeather, you’re going to be explaining to Firestar about what happened.”
Pikepaw shrunk down at the thought of that. “Yes, Brambleminnow…”
