An incredibly graceful and ferocious character! My first gryphon, I think! Loved to experiment with her!

I should have known if I brought up wc I’d have to talk about. But it includes of a lot of issues with feral/furry designs that use feathers in hair. I don’t necessarily know why the conversation only started and stayed in the wc fandom when horse/wolf/lion feral fandoms are still doing the same thing.

Now having feathers in the design isn’t a racial attack first thing off because there’s a lot of context around what feather’s are used, the shape, and where they are placed. If the look is anything like "rave Coachella looking tribal fantasy feathers and beads" it’s probably insensitive. I’m not to sure why it has to be feathers, I honestly think the wc fandom are holding themselves back when it comes to forwarding designs in a unique way. Tail feathers are also left out in this conversation as well, one or two feathers or feathers in the shape of a birds tail are fine but bunched together feathers are leaning to close to how we have our horses wear feathers. This is in the context of the design already looking like a "medicine cat" already its bad. it’s like those yt girls wear feather head bands but animal addition.

I’ve talked about this before but silhouettes are so important, like Native American stereotypes are on the global scale you cannot escape this silhouette you just have to avoid it. There’s no "but it’s in so many other cultures" no it’s not it’s totally unique to our people that’s why people flock to it because it’s so "mysterious, sacred" whatever their weird twisted up reason is. There’s so many unique ways to break this silhouette you just gotta be more creative. And I feel like instead of being more creative and coming up with totally different ideas it’s just easier to lean on these visual native stereotypes to get across "wild mythical nature fantasy"

I could get into the horse fandom and the weird situations they’re doing over there but that’s another crazy thing. I should say because someone will ask, ostrich feathers on like show horses or knights or puss in boots style is fine not the same thing (breaking the silhouette) they’re not related.

And it comes down to understanding what you are drawing and where this imagery comes from, I’m not gonna get my feelings hurt because of your design but I’ll question why are you drawing stuff like that. You cant remove that cultural/stereotypical imagery, and if you don’t care about it then you don’t care about the history or how it looks on your character and art.

I made it this far on the internet but if you want to be conscious about these things good on yea it doesn’t take much☺️👍

Mountain Whisperingroar - First Hunter

Mountain is usually the cat with a warm smile ready on a cold day but lately it has been hard. The recent rebellion has come as a shock to the large cat and even more so that her adoptive son was on the coups side. It has been a tough last few moons as they wrestle with their conflicting emotions. There is much to be done, much to be considered regarding the colony's fate and survival.

Will she rise to meet the challenge or sink under the crashing waves of responsibility?

Check out @shipsrestwcrp for more info, apps open till the 7th!! Art and design by @/Tavernlights!

Hey uh- as an indigenous person. I say this in the nicest way possible.

What the actual fuck.

billystorm was right to try to send his kids back to his housefolk considering they literally almost died. btw. why did leafstar bitch about how being a kittypet is literally the worst thing ever and god forbid her kids dont live a safe and comfortable life away from any dangers compared to being exposed to the elements and engaging in kitty cat incest war

#seriously wtf #what the hell is their problem

TAPAS | CHRONO COMMISSION | KOFI

Shalom and happy Thanksgiving, please consider donating to the mashpee wampanoag tribe in Massachusetts, a tribe that was one of the first to be pushed out of their lands and are often in the fake folklore of the history of Thanksgiving. Currently Massachusetts does not recognize the mashpee wampanoag as a tribal nation and has been trying to steal even more of their land and destroying their culture

My roommate got covid and gave it to me, I have mostly recovered now but I was out of work and bed ridden for over a week. I have 10 days to make roughly $1000 so I can make rent and pay my bills at the beginning of July. I was about to start my new day job when I got sick, which lined up terribly with where my paychecks will fall leaving me completely without income until after all my bills are due, and even then it won’t be enough to cover everything.

I’m doing sketch commissions, the linework will be similar to the images above! They will be more free form, a big less polished but still full of character and attention to your character’s detail.

If you want a commission please comment on my forum post! If you do not have an FR account you can message me privately on Tumblr! Thank you!!

PRICING (prices are *starting prices*, if you’ve got a crazy detailed character we’ll need to discuss price increases)

-Busts-

Monotone: $25

Flat colors: $30

Shading: $35

-Half Bodies-

Monotone: $35

Flat colors: $40

Shading: $45

-Full bodies-

Message me for a quote, full bodies get complicated and aren’t as easy to price tier as busts or half bods.

If you are feeling generous you can also buy me a ko-fi, anything helps!

Thanks again and boosts appreciated!
