SKETCHTEMBER DAY #7

There you go! Have Feral (@theprofessionalpromptmaker's OC) and Aya interacting! She's showing up here a lot lately!

[Day 1] [Day 2] [Day 3] [Day 4] [Day 5] [Day 6] [Day 7] [Day 8] [Day 9] [Day 10] [Day 11] [Day 12] [Day13] [Day 14]

Do you wanna be tagged on the next ones? You can reply to this post saying so (wether you want to be tagged in all my art or just the sketchtember posts)

More information about them and the sketch under the cut!

Let's start with Poss' description this time, shall we?

Feral met Aya while in the human world. How they met varies by AU/verse. (Pattie can type up whichever AU she thinks fits our mainverse best. I think it was the one where Feral’s adopted father was friend’s with Aya’s biological mom? So he knew little Aya briefly before her parents’ deaths, and then later meets her in adulthood through random chance and connections between her twin sister, Aiko, and his psuedo-nephew, Demro/Hirael.)

Yup, that's the mainverse now. That's the cutest way they get to meet each other! But a few things important to point out: Aya doesn't really remember him from her childhood, since she went to the fostercare at the age of 3 and stayed out of touch from him since then. Feral does remember who she is, though. They met again at a party she invited her sister to. He approached her and she got curious about him, while Aiko slipped away from Feral with Demro. Even after they met each other again they spent some time as friends which escalated to friends with benefit with time and then eventually they started dating. They obviously share a very big love for dogs and Aya simply adores to watch Feral interacting with her dog Donna! Feral's always supporting Aya on everything she wants to do and achieve in life and worries a lot about the fact that she's a people pleaser. With his empath powers he can sense when she's lying about liking something or feeling comfortable about it and doesn't let her go over her own comfort just to please him or anyone else, really

About the Sketch: Yup, this is also an incorrect quote (we have a huge list of those, thanks 99% to Poss. I'm finally getting to work on them... slowly) Today was a holiday here, so I decided to take some time for myself and that's why I took a longer time to post the drawing! Anyway, this sketch was really fun to work on and I'm noticing that I've been drawing faster than usual! I know these aren't really simple drawings, I could make way faster sketches if I didn't color or shade them, but I think they look way better like this, besides I'm not really taking that long into adding detail to them! I'm very excited with this challenge so far, even though I know we still have a long way to go! But the we beat the first week!! (And I still haven't avoided drawing hands on a single sketch!)

Context under the cut

But basically we came up with a new AU that I've been calling "Unphotogenic" for simplistic obvious reasons in which it diverts from our og au and it involves Tari working as a photographer (used more as a backpack carrying assistant) for a studio affiliated with fazcorp and situated in the pizzaplex to take care of every picture to take for birthdays and events, discouraging ppl to use their own cameras, phones, flashes, or hire other groups of photographers unfamiliar with safety rules and obstructing passage to important vacating areas for staff.

In this au the boys didn't get their upgrade either, the best they got is a fix to their face's internal mechanisms to be able to move eyebrows, close eyelids and slightly move the corners of their mouths , but that's about it.

I tried, truly, to go with the full biblically accurate look but I, as a person, am so unserious I had to grant them at least the bare minimum of expression or I was going to giggle my checks off every serious scene.

Also... I want to curse you with the knowledge that the age I went by is approximately canonical to the time they've been built and activated first.

They're OLD OLD lmao

Even if they consider themselves to have "two birthdays each, one is the system date, the other is when they gained full sentience and emotional spectrum.

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☺️👍

Edit: can’t believe I gotta say this but yes other cultures utilize feathers, if people are using feathers that are used in their culture then don’t harass them. That’s weird have some common sense. Ostrich feathers, peacock feathers it’s actually so interesting how native birds to an area affect the culture there.
