Blanket Pig made an “art summary” thread and credited Hawktalon, with the idea. I haven’t seen Hawktalon,’s thread yet, but I’ll find it sooner or later. I also saw that Brownie had a thread like this.
I technically draw way more than this, but most of it is either quick sketches (some of which I’m sharing, but you only need to see so many of those) or comics (which…finished ones are on the IAVS page, and unfinished ones aren’t ready to be Seen by Prying Eyes yet, though I'm posting one for each month).
(Brief note for those who don’t know: I have a comic called I Am Very Strangeness, IAVS, which is composed of real life happenings, with the people represented by cat “characters” because reasons.)

Fanart drawn for mintedstar/fur. The character is Will C. Morgen.
Inside the spoiler there are three slight variations of the Will above.

I believe I was testing something about the colors, but I thought this green looked nice.

Playing around with effects. I really like this one, but I thought the red was kind of distracting.

Just a more dramatic version of the previous.

Some quick drawings of two of my cats.
![](https://imgur.com/Sz95SWu.png)
Darkstripe in the Dark Forest. I made him a silver tabby with yellow eyes intentionally as this is how I pictured him, although I know it isn’t canon. I planned to have a mostly dark red to dark brown color scheme, but I used blue and orange as a backdrop to check how stuff was looking and decided I liked it.

I actually chose seven because it’s her favorite number 0-10 and also the Luhan number. But, you know, sometimes pure luck is more important than logic.

The tree cats. Not sure now if I plan to return to the character ask thing—I’m still attached to the characters, but…I don’t know.

Just one page from the ask thing. Locust’s earliest memory.

A rough sketch of a scene from a story I’ve been thinking about for a long time. This was the scene the story grew around. The cat goat is on a mission to find his brother and bring him back home; his overarching plotline is a failed redemption arc. The mouse monster is an old friend of the main character.
![](https://imgur.com/wUgR4Vl.png)
Characters from my fan comic from years ago (seventh grade?) that I just felt like drawing. Glass is the real heir of Scourge, but Tadpole survives and impersonates him.
![](https://imgur.com/LvS6nT3.png)
Get ready to see a whole lot of these cats. Linna is the main character. She is in competition with four other cats to be picked for successor to the leader, Zephyr. The story comes from second (maybe third…?) grade.
![](https://imgur.com/5rMSZ2o.png)
Salmalin Sr. isn’t generally a scary guy, but close to the end of the story, Jr. goes missing.
![](https://imgur.com/24Zdoie.png)
The tabby is my sister.

Regular and shiny versions of Ice/Flying, Fire/Flying, and Electric/Flying legendary bird fakemons based on the constellations containing the stars of the Summer Triangle. (Deneb is in Cygnus the swan, Altair is in Aquila the eagle, and Vega is in Lyra the lyre, and it’s not far from “lyre” to “lyrebird.”)

Vent art. The things here are a squirrel creature I made up a long time ago. I realized after uploading it the first time that it kind of looks like the red dots spell out “LOVE” in the bottom right corner, but that was unintentional.

Cats…

Reizo, Dune, Constance, Autumn, and Azura.

Rorik chasing Salmalin Jr. The long faces were an intentional choice. That doesn’t mean they were a good choice, but they were intentional.

Dawnsilence, a character (originally plastic cat) that I have used to represent myself at times. This was drawn to be my Discord avatar, because my name is Dawnsilence in Pokémon Go (which was why I was in the Discord). I think there’s a solid burnt orange version of her on the layer behind her, which is why she has the hint of an orange outline there. You can see that in full pictures like this I enjoy the…very pixel-y effect…that’s all over the background and foreground here.
![](https://imgur.com/c2E8fAs.png)
One person in the Pokémon Go group started vehemently decrying Dunsparce. We realized Dunsparce is actually quite large. I looked up the cry and found a video of its cry repeating in quick succession. “Sablenose” said they would be terrified if they heard that cry and saw a giant Dunsparce approaching them. I drew this in anticipation of Halloween because I thought it was funny.
![](https://imgur.com/WqxQwP3.png)
Night and Irownxa. Irownxa (circlecat) breaks one of Night (viverryskus)’s antennae and attempts to leave him for dead, but they’re not too far from the city.
![](https://imgur.com/eB7eWdG.png)
Sometimes looking at older designs (like for Acacia and Igraine) is like…what? How did they look like that!?
![](https://imgur.com/MuG4soO.png)
This is so me.

![](https://imgur.com/0XuymuP.png)
Humanized Ty for S’more (Candy Cane)’s Team Watermelon art contest. I initially referenced pictures of “Coldwhisker” to draw her face, though I deviated quite a bit and I’m pretty sure if I showed “Coldwhisker” this drawing he wouldn’t think anything of it.
![](https://imgur.com/6wh3Yol.png)
Elizabeth is electric blue and…electric-themed…I guess. She isn’t actually a demon, but I don’t have a better word for what she is.
![](https://imgur.com/zVAljSD.png)
Rorik and Sal Jr. disappear at the same time. They find Sal fairly quickly, but Rorik is actually trying to be lost and leave the area entirely…
![](https://imgur.com/yTq3tcl.png)
Linna is convinced Rorik is behind the “accident” that left Sorrell, a fellow competitor, injured. Reizo believes SOMEONE is behind it but isn’t sure who. Azura, Linna’s mother, is worried for Linna’s safety.

I did not upload a single comic during the month of November, but here’s a preview of a sketch I scanned during that time.
Dec
![](https://imgur.com/qh8LaDt.png)
Humanized Nika for the Team Watermelon contest, looking alarmingly like she could be my sister.
![](https://imgur.com/ZacGJIP.png)
Humanized Nutmeg, also for Team Watermelon. She seems to have morphed into Pippi Longstocking somewhere along the way. I actually found a picture of a friend from about five years ago to reference for her face.
![](https://imgur.com/oNaSle8.png)
And humanized Kia for Team Watermelon. Trying to look nice surrounded by Those Gremlins.

I tried to mimic Redheart of RiverClan’s style to draw four characters from Ensemble.
