Panel redraw from @sleepysundae ‘s To Catch a Star. (It doesn’t seem they’re active on here lately but their DA is busy!)

Aaaaaaaand since I started this drawing yet another of the wolves in it seems to have died. Whoops. *sobbing*

Okay so I follow a lot of Warriors and Lion King fan comics and I've made fanart for them before, but I also follow a few original animal comics, and I don't think any of them have made me feel so emotional and hit me so hard in the heart (except for maybe What Lurks Beneath, but that's less straight-up sad and more complicated political stuff) as To Catch a Star by SleepySundae on DeviantArt. If you haven't read it, you can check it out here: To Catch a Star Cover by SleepySundae on DeviantArt but as warned this description is gonna have heavy spoilers for the recent pages.

That said, with the recent death of Ash, and now Shadow while I was in the process of drawing this (I assume she's dead anyway, with her closing her eyes), I just knew I had to draw our favorite trio back when they were happy, when Ash was finally growing big and strong and well-fed, when everyone had worked through a lot of their trauma and come out of the other side of it happier and healthier, when they were just traveling together as a pack of oddities and misfits - Backlash the underfed and abused Dusky, the dark-pelted rebel Nova with no memory of who she was, and the emotionless and nameless mortal form of the sun - who came together as wary allies and eventually became a family - Ash, Shadow, and Lupi. SleepySundae has created some truly memorable characters and made us love them and the bonds between them. My heart is broken for what they've been through and lost, and I can only hope that we can somehow snatch some semblance of a happy ending out of all of this tragedy.

I was originally going to only loosely pull from multiple image references, but then I found one photo that perfectly captured the exact vibe I was going for, so I ended up referencing it pretty heavily. ^^ You can see it here. I had a lot of fun trying to blend my realistic style with the more stylized designs and colors of these characters. I'm not totally happy with how Shadow turned out, but I'm super super proud of how Ash and Lupi turned out. :D I referenced the QnA's for an idea of how to draw their eyes with just the iris colors, though I did kind of a combo of both that and the main comic style for Lupi by including white, yellow, and the orange pupil color as sort of a gradient? I dunno, I think it works. They're hanging out in some random forest in the upper sunny islands, just taking a moment to chill together in the warmth of the sun's rays on a couple of mossy rocks. Not sure if there's any location that looks like that in their world, but I remember seeing some foresty areas in the upper islands when Lupi first brought Ash there, so hopefully that works. ^^

I drew the royal Boreala half-siblings Robyn and Olivater from my webcomic Estodia as if they were Dusky wolves from @sleepysundae's webcomic To Catch a Star.

To Catch a Star is really good! If you're into stories about animal hierarchies like Warriors or Wings of Fire, I'd highly suggest giving it a look (fair warning, though, it does contain some pretty violent scenes).

Fanart of two excellent comics both happening to be about deer and both starting off looking like they would be about perfectly normal talking deer doing woodland things but turning out to be anything but.

Boneslav from DoePrince's Golden Shrike and Plucky from SleepySundae's White Tail.

They’re not afraid to try things with their art like perspective and exaggeration and I’m really impressed with how much effort goes into the comic. 

These are also cute designs, though I took a liberty with Riku. Gotta have zips somewhere ^_^ 

[luxmoogle]

Hi, the last line of that comic is heartbreaking. Thank you. ;__;

Ah! Then you and the rest of you will be pleased to know that I’m going to plunge a keyblade into everyones heart and twist!

My drafts are full of crying Rikus that are watering my crops, beware, and stay tuned~!

hhhh thanks for putting it in my head how sad Leon would be to hear about what happened to Sora ;__;

i really wonder how all the radiant garden folks would react! 

how upset would yuffie be?? how angry would cid be? 

how heartbroken would aerith be?? how shocked would cloud be, that the boy who inspired him to continue to seek out his light was gone?

how devastated would leon be, angry that such a young, bright-spirited and kind soul like sora would have so much responsibility heaved onto his shoulders? 

the whole restoration committee would be so somber and confused, left with so many questions and no answers, only ambiguity. 

[catboygirling]

had to add an example from one of my favorites that does this all the time:

a cloud-like shape to show a cheerful, bubbly tone (To Catch a Star by SleepySundae)

Note to Self - Speaking without Words with Word Balloons

Word gallons are for more than just words. They can be used to emphasis and even add emotions and to a scene

Feeling dizzy? About to pass out?

A lilting playful swirl (Time and Time Again by Deo I)

The white and black of the text has been replaced with a sinister black and the words are off tilter (Sword Interval by Benjamin Fleuter)

The voice is coming from a place deeper and more unsettling and the text is uneven and handwritten

A dismissive comment literally (metaphorically) stabs someone (Marionetta by Míriam Bonastre Tur)

Being interrupted before finishing what is being said

A withering and icy reply (The Secrets of Soulford by the Quincil)

Wobbly uncertain bubbles that even break apart in some parts from dizziness (The Blind Prince by cozycroww)

Pain almost appears to be breaking the usually round bubble into uneven and broken balloons. The little smaller balloons around it are reminiscent of sweat or tears (Heir’s Game by suspu)

[vulture-jack]

What about Epona from the Ocarina of Time manga? (not anime, sorry, but I always liked the way she was drawn)

Cute! I love her. Good. Not cursed.

sleepysundae ha respondido a tu publicación: im trying to fucking guess what that blue door in...

Resident entrance. Most homes above a business have a separate entrance.

This one?

Yeah, I know about it. Im talking about this one

i dont know where that door comes from. There’s no doornext to Mari when she is talking to Sabrina but then the blue door is really close to her? Im cofused about it.

Also, at the end of Doudou Vilain, when her macarons go flying in the air. He just leans back for a moment, catches one out of the air, then eats it. All in fluid motion. It gets me every time. He’s so unfazed by now, it’s a just a part of her he’s come to know and love 

(PS trufax: I think of the, “...H-hey” exchange a lot. It’s adorable.)

I got all caught up with feelings over an awesome comic by @sleepysundae called White Tail (check it out over on DeviantArt and Patreon! ♡), so I did a thing! ;u; It's so good and refreshing to draw something completely different sometimes. I hope it's okay, keep up the awesome work, Sleepy!! 8D
