Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian OC Ref. Sheet

This is Tigerfrost (Also known as Frosty), this Blog's main OC! I originally made her for Demise 4 back in 2021 off of a backpack I'd bought a couple of years earlier from a cool collector's shop. She was put in OC retirement while I focused on a Minecraft SMP I was on until she was pulled back out for this blog around July-ish 2022. My original ref is here, which I'm currently still using, but I do plan to change it soon because my style is outdated on it and a lot has changed in c!Tigerfrost's story.

I've been really inspired by @/all-yn-oween's and @/lidensword's NATM2 OC's, so this is my NATM version of Frosty! They are an exhibit on Children's and Young Teen's media in the Smithsonian. The Cats are promotional cardboard cut-outs for the books that came to life through the power of the Tablet.

(favorite bits, and more about Applebreeze, Fawnpelt, Craneclaw, and Poppypool, and general about their world under the cut!)

For a while, I've wanted to write about an Anthro Warrior's AU, but I've had a lot of trouble writing and drawing about it. I've recently been really inspired by @nissabug-art's Anthro Warriors AU.

About the Warriors AU...

First, this takes place wayyy after the events of the books. I haven't read past the fourth series (Omen of the Stars) and the first few of the fifth series (A Vision of Shadows), so most of what happens after those books aren't really counted in the AU as canon. All of the book series are regarded as legends of the past, though, especially Firestar. Other things:

Almost all cats have powers like the PO3 protagonists; I added this because I thought it was fun

Instead of Code #13 (The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code) of the Warrior's Code, cats vote for decisions like they did in I believe The Dawn of the Clans and a non-canon story, The Clans Decide. Leaders act as representatives of the clan and make small decisions that don't need to be voted on.

Thunderclan is led by Littlestar (Previously Littleflower, Tigerfrost's adopted sibling, They/Them). Tigerfrost is the Deputy and their Medicine Cat (which are called Healers in the AU) is Tigerfrost's one of other siblings, Stoneheart(It/They/He). The three are extremely close and tell almost everything together. Tigerfrost's power is Yestersight, also known as Retrocognition, inspired by the 💫TIME MACHINE💫 MAP made in 2020.

(Here's a small unfinished animatic of Tigerfrost and Littlestar. I made it during lunch one evening and I don't have the motivation to finish it)

Windclan is led by Sorrelstar (Previously Sorrelgaze, He/Him), their Deputy is Raindance (They/He) and their Healers are Foxsong (They/She) and Dusthop (He/She). Applebreeze (She/They, belongs to my school friend John) and Fawnpelt (They/Them, belongs to @swagbugger) belong to this clan and they are both Warriors. Fawnpelt can shapeshift into animals with wings or horns and Applebreeze has Botanokinesis.

Riverclan is led by Coonstar (Previously Coontail, He/It), the main antagonist of the story. He wants to fuse all the clans into one and become leader of them all; basically Tigerstar 2.0. I made him with some friends at summer camp years ago, and I have no creative ideas, so he will stay as Tigerstar 2.0 for now. The Deputy is Blind Lightning (He/Him). Poppypool (They/She) is the Healer Riverclan and has Empathy.

Shadowclan is led by Foxstar (Previously Foxshadow, They/Them), their Deputy is Craneclaw (They/He), and their Healer is Rebar (He/Him). Craneclaw is romantically involved with Rebar, even though it's against the Warrior code. Craneclaw has no superpowers.

Skyclan is led by Spottedstar (Previously Spottedsky, He/They), their Deputy is Mellow Petal (She/Her), and their Healer is Streampuddle (Any/All).

Favorite bits…

I love the pull down forest background. It’s inspired by the kids corner in Barnes & Noble's. I imagine that people could pull down different scenes from the book as background when reading. It’s also inspired by four trees.

I also really like the mini book covers. They are covered up mostly, but I love how small they are. They show all five main characters plus the main bad guy.
