The dock tails I am asking about it

[Heed the tags]

So I am shamelessly taking a page out of @cryptidclaw’s book and assigning new lore to my designs >:3c

Because oh my god I could do these characters so much better than what was given to us by the Erins

OKAY ANYWAY!

TW: Talks of self-mutilation, Self Harm (?)

Brokenstar was assumedly and most obviously named for the bent tail he was born with. With his rough characterization, I’d imagine his tail was the source of a lot of doubt and Clan gossip for a while in his youth, and as ShadowClan is so big on personal honor and the good of the group, plus Brokenpaw at the time being so desperate to hear his peers say anything good about him, cuts off his own tail and delivers it to the Clan “as a show of what he’s willing to sacrifice for ShadowClan”.

This wins him the favor of many hardened ShadowClan veterans — but at the same time, deeply worries others. What kind of cat mutilates himself for glory? That isn’t honorable… But Raggedstar names him Brokentail for the display, and is quick to shut down any further rumors of his ward’s honor or what he would do for his Clan.

Later, when Brokenstar rises to power, he orders the same sacrifice of his warriors, yet only the most devoted to him (or the most easily swayed) actually went through with it, as the idea of willingly losing a limb so crucial for balance, and needing to learn how to operate without it, shook even the most grounded warrior.

#WARNING this is something pretty heavy albeit not detailed #sorry for the tag bro as well #I don’t know if were close enough to tag you uagshbdbdn im anxious about it-#warrior cats #warriors #brokenstar #spotty speaks #ask #flippythegodzilla #doritopaw101 #rewrite tag #??#ig lol #I don’t know if I’ll actually go through with a SOLID rewrite #but I will be talking about plot points that I wish we saw in the books #and how they influence my designs

dreaming abt sophomore year class swap bard!riz

#fantasy high #fantasy high sophomore year #fhsy #riz gukgak #ft. kalina #fh class quangle #tbh Im not suuuper happy with the bones of these designs yet #but also its just a bit hard to measure up to how strong ''kid who wears suit to school'' is #I kiinda gear the sophomore year design specifically towards like. cameraman-esque aesthetics #kind of dude who's working the light rig And the audio at the same time. dude who's running inbetween two huge tripods #theres also a thing with the freshman year arcade scene that I wanted to draw but just do not have the energy today #maybe in the future! if I can be bothered to draw biz lmao #I wanna draw something for cleric!gorgug first anyway... specifically his death in freshman year #man I'm so glad I tossed bard!riz into investigative journalism that is SO annoying. exactly what I set out to do with my classswaps #can you imagine going to school with that guy. can you imagine going to school with tintin #this also makes kipperlilly vs riz even funnier like influencer vs journalist? it'd be the Worst #man thinking of it I should rework gorgug's design too. currently his sophomore design is really zac core lmao #and zac can pull it off but character design wise its. really nothing. laughs #his junior year design is full aerith at least so that one Im very happy with. what if I tell u cassandra is the deity of #the inbetween spaces in this class swap thingy. and gorgug offers her domain as a stop for folks fresh out of a faith to gather themselves #that being transgender as fuck is kinda coincidental lmao. but well I stand by it I like that #nobody's design has jumped out to me like riz and gorgug yet. adaine I have a prreeetty good idea for #mostly bc shes the hoodie kid this time round lmao. gamer adaine true believers rise up #we take it easy! we take it easy as we go. these comics-lite were real fun to do. I should do that more

SO!!!!!! finally, here’s the new and improved designs for my band au, to kick off the death’s doorstep reboot!!!!

generally, nothin’s gonna change that drastically in terms of story, all the main lore for the guys individually that i’ve mentioned in the past will stay the same for the most part i think. but cause i’ve had this au for so long i decided just doing a big revamp would be the way to go

killer belongs to rahafwabas cross belongs to jael peñaloza dust belongs to ask-dusttale horror belongs to sour apple studios death’s doorstep belongs to me !!!

#armageddon art #death’s doorstep: the remix #<- that’s the new tag. don’t look for the old one /hj #killer sans #cross sans #dust sans #horror sans #killer!sans #cross!sans #dust!sans #horror!sans #utmv #utmv fanart #ut au #sans au #uhhh yeah!!!!!! i’m so happy with them i’m excited. even though dust and horror virtually didn’t change weeping #i think these refs came out so so good which is a good start i think #i went really experimental with these and it worked out cackles #i’m so happy with their new designs. especially cross’s his fits way better now. and i’m happy with all the details #i’ve gotten a lot better at character design i think cackles #yeah!!!! yippee yippee death’s doorstep’s back. now let’s see how much i do with them /silly #i do have plans. i need to redraw the weezer image that’s my first priority /silly #ALSO!!! they have a logo now!! so that’s neat #im sure i’ll draw them in a ton of different outfits over time again. but these are their Defaults /silly #mostly i’ve been focusing on making things more like. coherent. like before the aesthetics and time period influences #were kinda all over the place #and generally i’m trying to shift both of those things in a different direction

i personally have very complicated feelings on the Gotham Knights video game and the routes it takes with characterization. i think it has a charm to it and it goes in an interesting direction with everyone (especially within the confides of the plot of the game) but it does have certain moments that veer painfully fanon for me. (such as: the dialogue where Tim drinks too much coffee) it's an interesting story for what it is but i don't view it comics-based for characterization and therefore don't care to interact with it much for like. fanfic purposes.

that *said* though. i do have to give the game some kind of credit for giving one of the top five JayTim moments that lives rent free in my mind. every since i played the game, the cutscene lives in my mind daily. it's the specific cutscene where Jason and Tim are arguing about whether or not Jason's non-lethal bullets are too dangerous for the field, and the argument leads to TIm *standing in front of the target* Jason is shooting and telling Jason to shoot him. it lives rent free for me. i never stop thinking about this.

the absolute certainty Tim has that he is in no danger standing in front of Jason, who has a loaded gun pointed at his face. the way Jason *hesitates* for just a moment before lowering the gun. he thinks about it for just a second. Gotham Knights JayTim seem to get along very well and can rely on each other, but Jason still clearly holds a bitterness about his death and Tim that flickers through in some lines of dialogue under the guise of jokes. especially since this game deals *heavily* with concepts of Pit Madness causing an altered state of consciousness, i think it's believable that occasionally, Jason fights the urge to fight and hurt Tim for the feeling of being replaced.

i like their tension so much in this canon. they get along but you can *tell* Tim is afraid of addressing Jason's trauma or even addressing Jason head-on, and Jason leans into spooking Tim about it. which isn't very comics feeling in their dynamic, but it is an interesting way to place their dynamic if you're playing with a more timid Tim who's newer to the role of Robin. (which he seems to be in-game) he really doesn't want to offend Jason, or worse, piss him off. but he'll still face Jason head on for things like this, while completely aware of what Jason could be capable of.

and Jason seems very protective of Tim and respecting Tim as a Robin in typical Jason fashion. if Tim pushes, Jason *will* relent. he knows this is a kid who's proved himself and should be treated with equal respect, sometimes even more than Dick and Babs do in-game.

so for all that to culminate in Tim stepping in front of Jason's loaded gun that he *knows* is on the edge of being too dangerous, just to force Jason to listen? it's the most unhinged way Tim could've gotten his point across in this scene. he was literally daring Jason to hurt him and playing with a very dangerous fire. but he did it anyway bc he believed he could make Jason heel just at the thought of hurting Tim. and he was *right*. they're gay and i'm feral ty.

#necrotic festerings #jaytim #tim drake x jason todd #gotham knights game #i hate their character designs for what it's work #BUT the size difference. jesus.#anyway i could write a gotham knights jaytim fic i think #i'm *very* unsure the ages intended for these characters #bc tim certainly seems to be intended to be a teenager #whereas jason seems in his 20s so i think it's a gap that's bigger than the comics #which also makes it fun. usually you don't get a ton of age gap with jaytim they're just under 2 yrs apart #but this tim is definitely still a teen and jason is an adult.#and seems to enjoy being a bad influence on tim in the game so #there's such good fodder for some dead dove shit #anyway the funny thing is i like this game #you don't want to know how many hours i've played it #it's just best treated as a seperate iteration of the characters than being an adaptation of anything #esp since they're *so* vague and waffly on jason's backstory #as well as not giving a ton of info on how tim became robin #you assume it's similar to comics but some details leave gaps in the timeline. so idek #probably not somehting meant to be thought about too hard.#but i'm an overthinker at heart.#my point is they're gay. this is gay. it baffles me ppl don't look at this as the gayest shit alive.#tim daring jason to shoot him is the most tim drake thing in this game #well that and tim wanting to make a talon in the belfrey.#also NO one say a word about the gif quality /lh #i had to make it MYSELF #i do everything around here to show off their gay shit #sorta tempted to just make a masterpost of “every gay ass interaction between jaytim”#bc i've seen some clips from the titans show

can't it even be more obvious thomas. why are you surprised that a sudrian historical site filled to the brim with armor and weaponry that dates back to the middle ages has old people afflicted with the gold dust working around the castle

#thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #ttte glynn #ttte millie #ttte stephen #casa tidmouth #senjart #MORE OF LADY'S EXPERIMENTS GONE WRONG #WHO UP ULFSTEADING THEIR CASTLE #stuff for the kotr arc of casa tidmouth. now this is where gold dust has historical significance #going crazy right now. my friends are influencing me #I had 12 tabs opened just to draw young glynn's armor. they dont have plated armory in the 10th century!!!! only mails!!!!!!#(looking at you KOTR intro)#I remember reading some inputs on my 1k milestone poll and saw someone put ''the misery of growing old'' and honestly. Checks out #glynn's eyes are goldish brown because well. that's the perks of being the first bearer of the gold dust horrors #lady during 989 AD do not know anything about human thoughts and ethics and emotions. she was literally freestyling that!!!!!#Oh a wounded soldier on the verge of death. what if I *dumps 200 kg of gold dust on him* yeah that'll do the trick.#then she saw how glynn aged so so slowly and went Oh well I messed up. Good thing there are lots of other sudrians here #funny coincidence that young cstm glynn's helmet resembles canon glynn's funnel #I wanted to make millie's design resemble a tour guide more with her scarf and more stylish than usual tie #shes so pretty. I'm so proud of her design #(AND I REALIZED TOO LATE THAT HER TIE HAS THE COLORS OF THE FRENCH FLAG)#<--- said the guy who has beef with the french #stephen's crown is translated to a hat decor! was about to draw a top hat but whatever just imagine he has a collection of various hats #that he can put his crown on #also I want to give him that cool hip-with-the-kids I-am-still-young-at-heart energy #sir robert norramby is balling in the background.#hope you enjoy..... won't be able to draw as much from now on but I'm excited #also whos ready for old man yaoi........... 2!!!!!!

The time has come for me to share my concepts for future Kay and Stacey.

#I mainly took influence from Ema/Badd for Kay and Fran/Verity for Eustace.#also: concept art.#and Pokémon somehow. don’t know how obvious it is.#bet I probably took some influence from existing 7yg designs here too but oh well.#there’s also some hc stuff here that I’ll elaborate on if anyone wants.#if these designs get rendered completely non canon in the near future so be it. I will repurpose these for ocs.#tried to emulate the aai2 render style and ended up with a weird fusion of that and my own.#but hey if it works it works.#I realize the suspenders serve no purpose in conjunction with the belt but let Kay have this one alright?#ace attorney series #ace attorney #my art #aai2 #ace attorney investigations #yumihiko ichiyanagi #sebastian debeste #eustace winner #mikumo ichijou #kay faraday #aai collection #prosecutor's path #prosecutors gambit #7yg #ace attorney fanart #ace attorney headcanon

Completely disregard wtf the reference from a couple weeks (a month?) ago looks like. Completely inaccurate. not sure what I was thinking w/ that one. This time I thought this one through, lol. wahoo!! Ive been kind of lazy and totally leaving out features the past few times Ive drawn him and I dont want that to happen again because he loses all the fun features.

notes written out for those who need it (glances behind my shoulder at the mobile app) under the cut. be warned, its long, lol.

starting from the top left, going across to the right side in rows.

-TURN-AROUND -opt grey hairs/grey stripe. he keeps it evenly colored with car oil. -eyebrow crease opt. -head lifted for convenience (for the pose. Also spelt that wrong on the image whoops) -5" when slouched. -neutral expression. Teeth always visible. -eyebags NOT opt. (Except in certain circumstances.) -"Tail" not usually visible -HORRIBLE posture* -black bottom lip pokes out a little -hands reach knees in reg. posture -Gnarly mullet -Overbite -Constant slouch. -Warped lens/frame -Sweaty & jittery a lot - \___ misc. extremes ___/ -BJD body -Motherboard cover -Plush tummy :-) -wears heart boxers underneath.

#DISGUSTING freak. I love him so much.#Reblogs encouraged.#He is absolutely balding btw. The glasses even out the horrifying forehead.#the way the fandom has influenced my hcs and my design is crazy actually. he was kinda a twink before.#I am not about to have a twink spamton in my household #no sir. He is old and disgusting and needs to be such. Also there was no exaggeration in his shapes before. no idea how i survived.#also yippee!!! I figured out how to fix my stylus pressure issue.#this one and the last post were in firealpaca. Still learning it because its a new program but it is so much better. Phhhew.#i love the animation feature #Im messing w it currently muwahahah.

could we get some fucked up flux baddies?

the creator and his creation

I need you to understand I was vividly reminded of this drawing I did back in 2016 while drawing the baddies. thank god it is forcibly pixlated or else I will perish
