Let me present you with random sketches I did this week to distract myself from the stress in school!

Please have a good laugh at them and take a GOOD look at the raven on the lower right side, hehe.

Thank you for your patience, my friends❤️. I promise I will return in full force as soon as the stress in school is over.

a Guide, a Champion, a Protector, a Friend

Wrongfully accused of a haunting crime and forced to flee the only home he had ever known, Lyre finds himself at the very heart of the “monsters” who haunted his cubhood horror stories… just for the occupants of the Vibrant Vale to prove themselves far kinder than anyone he had encountered before – and far more desperate as well, with their world revealing itself to be equipped with far more danger, intrigue, magic, and death than Lyre had ever known… All of which then entrusted to him to mend in the wake of great turmoil, based on words of the deified dead long past. Begged to leave once more, this time to chase more nursery tales while equipped with new goals, knowledge, and companions, Lyre steels himself with a promise to both himself and those now depending on him to find a way to fix what he had never broken… But such promises weigh heavy on young shoulders, especially as secrets unveiled grow increasingly grander, until a betrayal-torn and duty-battered Lyre finally must ask himself: Save his friends, or save the world?

Welcome to Ailurocide: a slow-to-update story initially inspired by the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, lending themes from other fantastical animal works such as Watership Down by Richard Adams, Tailchaser’s Song by Tad Williams, the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland, and the Guardians of Ga’hoole by Kathryn Lasky, alongside the Fallout games.

3, 11, 21, 27, 30 for the weird art ask game!!

Eeeey these are great, thank you! :D I’ll put the answers under the cut to save a dash or two haha

3. What ideas come from when you were little?

I’m assuming this is asking “what ideas do you have now that started from when you were little”, so I’m going to answer it like that lol

I have a bunch of different story ideas and characters that are from varying eras of my life at this point, all of which I intend to reboot/finish eventually, but rather than getting into all of those at once, I’ll talk more about general subjects/inspirations that I’ve had since childhood. It's interesting to see what subject matter I was most interested in at different parts of my life though!

I was REALLY into animal fantasy growing up (Warriors, Guardians of Ga’Hoole, etc.) so a lot of my oldest ideas feature animals/fantasy creatures as the protagonists, something that absolutely did not change! My love for dragons in particular (thanks to Spyro the Dragon) is one of the first things that any new person I meet learns about me, though I also really love cats (especially big cats), birds (especially owls and raptors), dogs (especially foxes and wolves), and pretty much every cool mythical creature I can think of. I had friends who were horse girls, and I was the dragon girl (Spyro, Dragonology, Eragon, The Last Dragon Chronicles, Dragon-type Pokémon, you name it). Though I have done some much needed expansion of my skills and subject matter since, I still tend to favour animal characters and creature design to drawing regular humans, to the point that I didn’t actually start drawing humans until college! Even with humanoids or monster kids, I tend to give them a lot more animal traits where possible, as I usually find them most interesting to work with.

Runescape was an early inspiration for my love of knights and fantasy weapon/armour design, and that definitely hasn’t changed either! I’m glad that my ability to draw humans has increased enough that I can actually draw proper armour on them now lol

Despite how prominent my star aesthetic is now (primarily influenced by Kirby), that actually wasn’t something that would appear in my art as a significant motif/influence until later in life. Or rather, I’d use it a lot as a kid without really thinking about it, as a lot of general fantasy stuff uses that aesthetic too, but I wasn’t consciously aware of my love for it until much later, and thus I lean into it a lot more nowadays. The influence was there from the start, but I guess the sleeper agent in my brain took a bit to kick in lol

Honestly, I carry the vast majority of my interests from childhood into my current art, so this list is far from exhaustive! Not to get too philosophical here, but I think I primarily use my art to maintain the connection to those things, as they still bring me the same or similar joy as they did in the past, only now I have the proper skills to actually make those ideas real. I think child me would freak out if she saw what I can do now, so it’s a great feeling :)

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what?

The short answer is “almost anything”, as I usually just have my unorganized YouTube playlist going when I need to work for a while, which I’ve periodically added stuff to over the years whenever I stumble across a new track I like. My taste in music is so varied that it’s incredibly hard to explain, though generally I tend to favour upbeat/fast tracks while working, keeps that dopamine flowing, you know? Anything from EDM to 90s/00s pop to power metal to electroswing to VGM, whatever gets the gears turning in the moment!

That said though, I’m in the process of curating more specific playlists for specific moods or if I’m drawing a particular type of sequence or scene (like a battle music playlist when drawing two characters fighting, stuff like that). I do this for when I’m writing stuff too, as I’m currently in the process of refining my workflow for comics and such, so hopefully that’ll be helpful for getting into the mindset for each of those different scenes later on. I find that I can't usually focus on art with anything other than music playing in the background though, even stuff I've seen before. Not quite sure why, but especially in the case of cartoons/anime, even if I've seen it a million times, I still like looking at it too much lol

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

Answered here! :)

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?

Honestly every time I remember that warmups are a thing, I ALWAYS forget to actually do them, almost like a weird object permanence type thing lmao

Maybe if I actually got into a routine I might find them useful, but generally I find just drawing circles and lines to be too boring as a warmup. Not by deliberate choice really, as I’m sure they’d actually be helpful with consistent use, but really I just kind of... start until something happens I guess? My methods are mine, sure, but I wouldn't call them efficient necessarily. Either I get into the groove with what I’m drawing or I don’t, and then I decide if I keep pushing through or I switch to something else, especially if I'm working a specific character design/concept. The way that I refine the art for my character sheets involves gradually erasing/redrawing the same sketch until it’s essentially cleaned into line art (I find it keeps more of the life of the drawing that way), so I’m used to this kind of approach when starting my art in general. If I have to doodle something first to start, it’ll usually be a head of some kind of dragon or other animal.

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

Oooh… that’s a tough one! It’s hard to determine if art you post gets what you feel to be the amount of attention it deserves, as so many factors like post time, subject matter, and luck can determine how many people see it and/or interact with it. I guess my logo design stuff in general is kind of underrated? In the sense that I don’t think there are a lot of people out there that specifically nerd out when they see it like I do. Or at least, I haven’t come across many people that do so far! I understand why of course, characters and such are always going to have a far more universal appeal, and character design will always be my main forte, I just really love logo designs too, as I feel they can have a certain “character” of their own when done right. [insert the "graphic design is my passion" meme here but like, unironically] Here’s one of my most recent logo designs that I’m especially proud of :)

It's posted here if you'd like to reblog it independent of this post :3c

Indrid Nyrocstar

Ohhhhhhh gosh this is like one of my oldest ocs. Like made up in sixth grade old. Man habibi you have to make me feel embarrassed to talk about it but OH WELL-

So like at that time, I was really into X-Men and Nightcrawler was one of my favourite characters. Naturally, I ended up creating a character who was cloned from his dna. Indrid was one of those typical angry, traumatized, edgy teenage boys with overpowered abilities raised in a secret facility that created and abused him as well as a complicated healing arc.

I don’t remember much more details but I do remember feeling proud with his name since it’s derived from Indrid Cold (that one cryptid weirdo man) and Nyroc/Coryn from Guardians of Ga’Hoole. now? maybe too much overkill lmao

I actually started revisiting his story and design and began tweaking a few things. but idk if I could just leave him be in the cringe past or make him more relevant in the modern. but anyway he’s now pansexual, nonbinary and aged into his late twenties. little less edgy now. wish I could sketch him but too tired to lmao

thanks for the ask!

[goose-on-the-loose]

i just watched guardians of ga’hoole for the first time with no expectations, just “2010 fantasy owl movie” and i was ASTOUNDED by the animation quality, the character designs, the music, and the writing! Also everything i read in my head is in the characters’ voices.

I am also devastated that it’s got 52% on rotten tomatoes, it is a GLORIOUS film that should have 100%

[azarothsoren]

so, just watched guardians of ga'hoole. no, it's not related to rise of the guardians in any way, shape or form - quite the opposite, in fact. not much star talent in this film, save for helen mirren and a few others.

i’ve heard of the movie several times, but never got to watch it over the years due to hearing that it combined three of the books it was based upon into one film. usually, with adaptations, such a decision results in a hit or miss — and while i figured it’s going to be much better than the harry potter films, i didn’t know whether to have faith or not. 

i’ve read the books of ga’hoole, had some attachment to them as a kid, so i was worried it’d be disappointing. a lot of stuff would be cut. so would characters. but eventually, seeing it on streaming services for free? i decided: “well, i’ve got nothing to do. might as well get it over with.”

turns out, it’s much better than the books! yeah, it cut a lot of things, some stuff felt weird or rushed or out of place, but otherwise the story was generally good, the action scenes were incredible, the slow mo to fast sequences had me at the edge of my seat, and they actually did character improvements — specifically kludd! in the books he was so dull, in my opinion, while in the movie i actually liked and cared about his character! and nyra was a great villainess. she actually appeared sooner than she did in the books. don’t get me started on everyone’s designs and the animation — guh, amazing. it felt like the best looking “semi realistic but not too realistic” animal animated films. sorry stuart little 1 & 2 and happy feet (both of which i love, though the latter and this one have peak bird animation), lol. 

spoiler-ish stuff: i have no idea what they were trying to do with soren and gylfie though. i know they’re friends, but some moments between them felt... shippy? i know in the books he’s got a mate in pelli, which was cut from the movie bc they reduced the characters, but like... idk. i did find it funny that kludd literally mated with nyra though, lmao - it was not OUTRIGHT but it was subtle.

it felt like —

Nyra: “I seduced the owlet into joining us.”

Metal beak: “YOU WHAT?!”

okay, he’s not really an owlet, he’s an adult in the book and film already, but come on... the older female gets with the younger male trope. evil bird couple. their dynamic was interesting but i found it funny simply for the gap— i swear, i could imagine a scene where soren looks at his brother like, “dude, she’s too old for you.” “i don’t care. she’s hot.” 

anyway, overall, a great film. i probably am one of the few that liked this more than the critics or most audiences did.

#melanie reviews

[mad-raptorzzz]

I have the urge to do a warriors-Guardians of Ga’Hoole swap AU. So like flip them both and make character designs.

But I can’t tell if I want to fit the plot of the first arc into the guardians of ga’hoole lore and the plot of the first 6 ga’hoole books into the warriors lore. Or simply just make the cats owls and make the owls cats and keep the lore largely the same.

but it would go like this: Rusty is a young short earred owl in a zoo/preserve and sees a young great grey out there that he meets with. Eventually the leader of these wild owls comes to him to invite him to live in the wild.

and then: Soren and his siblings are a litter of Siamese kittens born in the wild with their parents. They live a good life. But somehow, mysteriously, Soren is tricked to leaving the small valley they shelter in, and snatched by a larger cat and whisked away. He is joined by a small grey tabby kitten, and they need to work together to get out of their predicament.

#Warriors au #guardians of ga’hoole au #I think it would be more creative to work the lore into the au that is flopped #But I kind of like the idea of four owl parliaments living separately #Rusty would keep his name in the owl AU but become know as Firestar for his use of fighting with fire #Soren would also keep his name #Not sure how Klud could get a metal apparatus in the cat world #but maybe he gets a gnarly scar and has to be stitched up by Two legs and wears a crudely made metal helmet of sorts

[kabukiaku]

It’s the majesties of the Great Tree of Ga’hoole! I took inspiration from both the book and movie (primarily their helmet + battle claw designs). I decided to challenge myself in only looking at the ref once during sketching and left it up to my own interpretation while finalizing it.

anyways, it’s great to draw ga’hoole art again! ✨🤍🦉

Update! I’m currently practicing a shorthand technique for drawing owls quickly and accurately enough for storyboarding, and hopefully for future character designs!

I can’t wait to know what my animation pre-production professor thinks about my gahoole proof of concept idea.

#I am so ready to pour my heart and soul into this #I do feel like a rambling mad man though #I’m just so overly excited about the idea of designing and animating owls #art #my art #owl #guardians of ga'hoole #ga'hoole #ga’hoole #short film

i’m gonna be really honest with you watching guardians of ga’hoole at a young age set my standards way too high for cgi animation like where am i going to find something that pretty again

#nothing will ever compare to watching guardians of ga’hoole #over the past decade cgi has been looking more and more lazy and i’m so tired #bring back the funky cool shit !!! #tired of character designs being made just to manufacture dolls
