Yeah :( I was good at art but apparently six years went by since then so now I'm relearning. The best way to get better is to practice, so I'm doing the very traditional Clangen artlocke challenge~
Rules: All allegiances must be designed/drawn before I start (this will take FOREVER because I'm doing two Clans zzz) All life stage changes must be drawn (aka kit->apprentice->warrior->elder) Note: I can split up litter art into multiple moons/wait until they're not the newborn sprite All cats that join the Clan must be drawn Every moon must have at least one(1) art. But it's my choice on what to draw~ There will also be plenty of writing because it's me okay.....
Rules for YOU the viewer: if you read through please do leave a comment they make my day and give me the motivation I need to continue <3 no calling my art ugly :( I do that enough to myself as it is. BUT I do welcome critique~ Especially if you have specific advice on anatomy/redlining or expressions because I STRUGGLE with that if you end up being inspired by my enthusiastic but mediocre attempt at this challenge and try it yourself, please ping me so I can follow along!!

Post 1 will be for the current living cat allegiances of both Clans Lives remaining: 9. A ginger tortoiseshell she-cat with cyan eyes. Despite her cunning and logical nature, Rowanstar is staunchly religious and believes StarClan will always guide DuskClan in times of need. A long furred fawn she-cat with darker tabby markings on her tail and face. She has green eyes. Thymechaser might have been named after the herb, but as a warrior, she's come to embrace the more literal meaning: a strict she-cat, she does not tolerate idle paws or inefficiency of any sort. She wishes there are more hours in the day to get work done and her own schedule is jammed tight with not a single minute wasted.

The moon-by-moon events and stories will be scattered throughout the comments, so I won't try and keep a save for it.

also I don't know why I torture myself with more complex poses when I'm a newbie but ya know. I can never choose the easy way out. I'm not entirely happy with either of her right paws but Too Bad. I need to do these FAst or at least one a day, tho I might go back and try and shorten the front right a smidge so it fits the perspective better
I do love her design tho such a pretty leader <3 Though I really chose this roll of cats for DuskClan specifically for the medicine cat... I found one of the new traits and I'm so excited to see how it interacts with the simulation mwahahaha

bruh I am so good at art I "fixed" all my edges by coloring over them with my matte background color....... on like a dozen layers......
so then I had to go back and do it all over again...... </3
At least she's done. I had a long battle with her face but I think it's okay now. at least it reads a little angry which is what I was shooting for. I still have no IDEA how to vary body types I have one set of proportions that I can do and that's IT

Have a Darkleaf wip. she's DuskClan's healer and she can talk to ghosts (specifically, dark forest ghosts =O) I need to desperately redo her entire head which is why I didn't finish it tonight lmao I also want her to be a little more long-limbed but idk how to do that without her turning Noodle

so I didn't end up doing this one as an artlocke because it was Too Much. I did, however, do a bit in it which I put on ao3: the Caverns and it's a super cool fantasy cave world you should totally check it out =o =o I will still be making more art of this project tho and I'll put all that here!!
