![](http://i.imgur.com/G3wlHQL.png) ╔═════ ═════╗ ♡ w e l c o m e ! ♡ ╚═════ ═════╝ Hello, guys! It's Moonshine06, also known as Moon or Moony. ^o^ I haven't posted much in the Art Forum yet, so, to fix that, I'm going to upload my art here; in my Galleria!
Most of my art is of cats, drawn in a cartoony/anime style. So if you're looking for realism, I'm afraid I won't be putting up a lot of that. ^^' But I do have art of humans, anthropomorphic animals, and canines (among other things), which I'll be showcasing as well. Most of my art is digital, but from time to time, I'll put up traditional art as well. I dream of becoming an animator one day, although I am still figuring out the basics.
Feel free to comment on or critique my art, as long as the criticism is constructive! Hope you enjoy my stuff. c:

Call me Moon/Moony! I'm a female, 16, and an aspiring animator.
I'm currently studying Japanese language (taking JPN II) history, and culture, so if you want to know something about that, hit me up! I love talking about the feudal period, mostly.
Likes -- MAPs, speedpaints, "aesthetic" stuff, CATS, wolves, drawing, BTS, anime & manga, Hamilton, art supplies of any kind, J-Rock (One OK Rock, ect.), Samurai Warriors 4, Okami, FFXV
Dislikes -- drawing hands, pressure, procrastination (even though it occurs in my daily life, oops), looking at my old art, oranges

Recent art from January 2017 and up, not in any order. I'll probably talk about my art below each piece. Some art may contain slight-to-mild gore/blood, just for caution!
![](http://i.imgur.com/bF90BCt.jpg) Human Squirrelflight & Brambleclaw. I'm quite happy with this!
![](http://i.imgur.com/CCl66yk.png) Cat!Ciel Phantomhive for my feline Black Butler AU. He is a British Shorthair mix.
![](http://i.imgur.com/2dJVzD7.png) Cat!Sebastian Michaelis for my feline Black Butler AU. He's got a simplistic design, which I love! He's a melanistic Oriental Shorthair.
![](http://i.imgur.com/Z5DOlvZ.png) It's ya boi Tallstar!! I revamped an old design of his, and I love the way he came out!
![](http://i.imgur.com/PRBroXh.jpg) A gift for the beautiful Codadex on Warrior Cats Animo. They're a lovely friend with awesome art and a very creative Human Warrior Cats AU!!
![](http://i.imgur.com/N69c87k.jpg) Human Firestar and Sandstorm! I have a a headcanon that Sandstorm is the strongest female warrior in her clan; the only cats who could probably take her on in a fight are Tigerclaw or Dustpelt. She's strong enough to give Firestar a piggyback ride, and walks around with him on her back to prove it. Poor Firestar marvels at her strength, but is embarrassed at being carried around like that. Their kids probably giggle at him as they walk by.
![](http://i.imgur.com/E4cveBU.png) A drawing of Fireheart. This was mostly for practice with backgrounds.
"M" Is For "Mirrors". A piece I just finished this morning. This is an OC of mine, Lightningpaw, including an unknown cat who will be revealed in time. c; I was thinking about his darker past and decided to draw something related to it, although this is more symbolic that anything. I was listening to "Mirrors" by PVRIS as I drew this.
![](http://i.imgur.com/SFgiAMg.png)
A character from my P.A.R.I.S. roleplay, Miss Janie! She's a British spy, formerly from the MI6 Agency.
![](http://i.imgur.com/4cVtB05.png) Tsuki, a cat from my ongoing SakuraClan roleplay. She is Stormheart321's character.
![](http://i.imgur.com/UE2ob2K.png) Human Leopardstar! I'm thinking of making a human Warriors AU very soon, so this is like a sneak peek, I suppose.
![](http://i.imgur.com/R5zF6O2.png) Tried the color palette challenge with my beloved Snow. I had a blast with this one.
![](http://i.imgur.com/kYJQ3KR.png) Another palette challenge with another character of mine; Thrash. I had more fun with his than with Snow's, tbh. X'D
![](http://i.imgur.com/Cxjbzcj.png) Humanized Tawnypelt and Rownstar, for my human AU. I realized at the last minute that their tails were missing, whoops. :'D
![](http://i.imgur.com/JZbQ5kY.png) A drawing of Leopardstar and Tigerstar; the unedited version. I know the crowns look a bit... photoshopped. That was unintentional; I was trying to paint over them, but I guess I didn't paint enough. There's no person in the middle; that wasn't intentional either. ᕕ( ᐛ ;; )ᕗ I wrote a short "poem" thing to go along with it.
╔═════ ═════╗ ♡ o l d e r a r t & w i p s ♡ ╚═════ ═════╝
All of my older art and work-in-progress art will be under spoiler tags, so you don't have to scroll through everything. X'D
![](http://i.imgur.com/Yr1BnL1.png) Hungary, from Nekotalia! I had fun making her a reference sheet; I wanted something nice and clean and organized. Lady Akiko, a main character from SakuraClan. This was my very first drawing of her, actually.
![](http://i.imgur.com/ETGqFQk.png)
Shadowface, the main protagonist of Shadowface's popular novel, Curse! That story is amazing, and I suggest you check it out. <333
![](http://i.imgur.com/B2lluVh.png) I was inspired by Japanese and Chinese art, so here's Tigerstar. Scourge is supposed to be in there as well, but I just can't seem to get his pose right... :/
![](http://i.imgur.com/533wZTk.png) A scene from Shadowface's story Curse, featuring Eaglefrost. This scene was so intense, and a pleasure to draw! :O
![](http://i.imgur.com/e8IXqkU.png) Attack on Titan cats because I'm an anime nerd. From left to right: Erwin Smith, Levi Ackerman, and Eren Jeager. Erwin is probably like a Norwegian Forest Cat; I imagine him looking more like a lion or something. Levi is definitely an Oriental. Eren is more of a moggy; he really doesn't have a specific breed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
![](http://i.imgur.com/RlGNIUo.png) A memorial drawing of my adorable cat, China. Rest in peace, my baby! <3
![](http://i.imgur.com/at0zM9D.png) Arya, a fire-wielding angel OC of mine. If you're one of the people that RPed in the Art Forum back on WCF, then you may recognize her.
![](http://i.imgur.com/UDbLg8s.png) An older piece that I'm... actually a little proud of? If it's not obvious, this is Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw fighting at the lake. The background is an obvious WIP; I'm really lazy with them. ;u;
![](http://i.imgur.com/rJeNpIp.png) My first lineless piece! This is Yukiko, an older OC of mine. I used to really like her, but I gave her a total revamp because she was a bit boring to me, lol. XD
![](http://i.imgur.com/L1FLOHY.png) A WIP of Human Bluestar! This is going well, but her face is a bit off. Maybe it's her mouth??
![](http://i.imgur.com/ALdKXZC.png) One of my much older pieces, yikes. These are cat versions of two characters from the video game Samurai Warriors: Masamune Date, and Kojuro Katakura. I love them a lot and decided to draw them as cats. But... I might redraw this one.
![](http://i.imgur.com/yb1luV7.png) A picture I never really got to showcasing. This was originally going to be in a tutorial project I was doing on here, but I got lazy and abandoned it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways, this is a scene from my scrapped story, Soldier of Tomorrow (if you've seen pictures of Major, you may be a little familiar with that), which takes place in a setting similar to the U.S. military. I scrapped it b/c it seemed way too... far-fetched and unrealistic, especially for a story. The cats in this one are Li Xiao (blue tabby w/ red armband) and Hayumi (Siamese with the two necklaces.)
![](http://i.imgur.com/mltrpA7.png) A rough sketch of a character from a story I was planning called Reign. Her name is Invidia, and she's one of the princesses of her kingdom. Fitting for her, her name means "envy", and her envious drive eventually makes her the main antagonist. ╔═════ ═════╗
♡ c h a r a c t e r r e f s ♡

All of the references for my OCs. More to come!

Words will never be able to express how much I love your art, Moon,particularly the linework and the shading. My digital lines suck, and my skill at shading is pretty much nonexistent, so I'm very jealous. And the aesthetic of your coding is just???? beautiful??
I've probably asked you before, but what software do you use for your art?

I love aesthetic stuff, so I just found this background and decided to put in the coding. ;u;
I use Autodesk Sketchbook for all of my art! It's an organized, neat program and I love it.

Aw, thanks Moon ;-; I'm working on my shading, so hopefully I'll get there soon!
I love it. it's amazing. Aesthetic stuff is beautiful, and so calming, honestly.
I love Sketchbook. I have it as an app on my iPad, but it doesn't really get much use at the moment. The only thing that annoys me is that you can't do a transparent background.

No problem! It takes time; I used to shade with an airbrush for starters, actually. It's just a matter of deciding where the light source goes.
It really does have a soothing quality, pastels especially. <3
Actually, you can get transparency on there, I'm sure. The default canvas background is white, but if you tap the eye icon near it, you'll get a checkerboard background, which means that the BG is transparent. c:

That's a good tip ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/eejyJM8_jTuGdFr6DpMy.gif) I'll have to try it out - I'm going to have to charge the iPad now!
Mmmm, pastels are amazing. A friend of mine recently bought some pastel highlighters, and her notes are the best thing ever.
Wait? really?! Man, I'm really going to have to do some digital drawing now...

I can imagine so! They're so cute and pretty.
Yep, that's how it's done! I've got the subscription version, which offers a lot more like selection, more brushes, ect. It does cost some money, after the 7-day trial, but I believe it's not that much, about 4.99 per month. It's a lot more useful to me now. ;u;

Added another gem:
I have a HC that Sandstorm is the strongest female warrior in her clan; the only cats who could probably take her on in a fight are Tigerclaw or Dustpelt. She's strong enough to give Firestar a piggyback ride, and walks around with him on her back to prove it. Firestar marvels at her strength, but is really embarrassed at being carried around like that. Their kids probably giggle at him as they walk by, which I thought was cute.

I'm doing good. Dreading the finals. ;-; I don't think my school will have theirs until, like, May, I think? So I'm not sweating it too much.

I still remember the old art forums and the fun (but a bit crazy) roleplays they had there. I used to just scroll through and read all the posts. ;~;
