Art school is so silly sometimes

Look at these meow meows. I’ve gotten so much better at art.

P.S. if you wanna see my middle school art it’s under the break

Ok so this is from 2015. I was in middle school and this was my first creative scene that wasn’t a character standing looking straight at the fourth wall.

Look at those cutie patooties.

Next is 2016, with a significant improvement already. While I never drew seriously wanting to improve my style before the first drawing, I spent a year developing how I drew and this was the result of that. Do they all have the same face? Yes. Is it impossible to tell at a glance which character is which? Definitely. Still better than the first one tho

Now we’re onto 2017. I did this in one night for inktober. Some of the proportions are a little wonky, and I knew that at the time, but I kinda rushed to get it done. Though, my Facebook friends thought it was pretty cool.

Up next is 2018, the first digital piece. I did this on my phone with my finger. Also, the characters finally have different fur patterns! Even if three are solid color cats, it’s more detail than before.

Now here’s 2019. I upgraded once again to a drawing tablet and Paint Tool Sai. Nowadays it’s not my preferred software, but it was a really nice one to start off with. I also played around with lighting, trying to make sure that the light source was consistent with the background and to make the shading more than an airbrushed black.

2020 had a dramatic change! Still on Paint Tool Sai, you can tell that I am more comfortable with drawing on the computer. My favorite bits have always been the cat in the foreground and the angry spiky one

I went in a more stylized direction in 2021. Though the background is a little strange, you can really tell I was trying, especially compared to the empty plane of green from the last year.

And again, here is this 2023’s version! This took me like 8 hours of solid drawing. I also only used the lasso for all the coloring and shading. I’ve been a big fan of cell shading recently, I will admit.

Every once and a while, I get the urge to design different warrior cats in my style, and Bluestar is often one of the first cats to be designed. I don’t know why I gravitate towards her so often, but my best guess is that it’s because she appears in one of the first scenes in any of the books.

When I was younger, I tried to draw the entirety of Into the Wild… as you can imagine I didn’t get very far, but I did draw the entire “for alone will save our clan” scene. Honestly, I’m surprised I even finished that, I have ADHD, so focusing on a long-term project is really hard for me. I think my driving force was being able to draw my beloved Spottedleaf a few times.

Before I read Power of Three and fell in love with Jayfeather, Spottedleaf was my favorite character. I didn’t ship her and Fireheart, I just thought she was ✨lovely✨

Y’all should check out my YouTube channel, I just posted a rough animatic to World’s Smallest Violin by AJR and it features some really old art of mine.

I’ve gotten reobsessed into the Warrior cats series and it’s becoming a problem

I tried to draw this iconic scene from the first book 5 years ago and it did NOT go well. I tried again 4 years ago, and forgot about the books for a few years. Now, I just popped this out as an easy sketch, and I’m suddenly thinking about my old warrior cats OCs more than my main story.

Thought I’d redraw my fan oc from the Overseer universe a la @sarah-truly

I don’t quite have a name for him, but I coined him as the “Overseer of Weakness” a while ago. He has the power to trade strengths with someone else, so in order to be more powerful, he has to be weaker.(it’s weird, I know, but the more you think about it the more it makes sense) I like to imagine that he was named the overseer of strength, but after his tragic backstory™️ he decided to go by weakness instead.
