Slice-Of-Life Story Idea: A top-secret terminator-type character with extremely OP abilities who up and leaves the shady secret society that created him for the sole purpose of being a loyal superweapon. He’s not tormented by guilt or internal conflict or anything, and he’s not even really that good of a person, he just simply decides he doesn’t care much for his job. Now he’s just that one really out-of-touch and out-of-pocket background character that somehow drastically affects the “main plot” of his world despite you being able to count his minutes of relevance on one hand.

Okay, so, maybe I’m just crazy or something, but I feel like it’s kind of a universal eldest sibling thing to not have your own shows that you watch and instead just tune into whatever your younger siblings are invested in at the moment.

Anyway here’s a Luffy (heavily-stylized-beyond-recognition flavor) 👍

WC Fandom Callout/Hot Take Time!

(I would like to preface this by saying that I am a member of the Warrior Cats community myself; I love it here and there are so many amazing and talented people. This post is by no means saying that everybody here is guilty of this, nor is it meant to be an attack or show of ill will on those who are. <:])

Okay, so I have a small grievance to air:

Never, in all my years on the internet, have I ever seen a community that matches the sheer amount of negativity and petty spite the WC fandom has, especially towards its own creators.

Exhibit A:

WC fandom:

The Erins: *actually give us the most pretty, fun, and unique canon design we’ve ever gotten, which CLEARLY IS A CHIMERA AS THEY INTENDED DUE TO HOW HER BLACK FUR IS LONGER THAN HER ORANGE FUR (LOOK AT HER CHEEK FLUFF)*

WC Fandom:

LIKE. Y’ALL.

(I would also like to mention that while yes, the inbreeding is gross and warrants criticism, when you have such isolated populations interbreeding, it was always bound to happen, especially with such complex and forgettable lineages (of feral cats, no less (y’know, animals that form family trees like that naturally?)). Honestly? It’s been an issue for so long that I really think we should just stop pointlessly whining about it, accept it (as long as they aren’t too closely related/it isn’t immediate family incest), and move on.)

I get constructive criticism and civil discourse is healthy in a fandom, but there’s no need to be so blatantly and endlessly petty and spiteful, especially towards the people who try so hard to give you the thing you enjoy in a consistent and timely manner and live up to its legacy. I agree that there are definitely things they’ve messed up on or could do much better with and that they should prioritize quality over quantity more, but c’mon. Honestly, y’all will just find anything to bitch about. 😭 Besides, enough with the pessimism and belittlement! Fandoms are supposed to be fun, and trust me, you will have much more fun if you just let yourself be excited and see what happens. Even if it does feel somewhat like toxic positivity to say so, there's no joy in just being a critic all the time. :]

Anyway, sorry for the exasperated ramble, and thank you for coming to my TEDtalk. 🙏

Just an eye style test I thought I’d share :]

Do y’all prefer it with or without the pie cut I can’t decide 😭

Also, for anyone wondering, the program is an MSpaint dupe for iPhone called Paint98. It’s painful to work seriously or complexly in, but it is fun for just messing around!

[flowanon]

It’s been three days. He will not leave. Please send help.

Y’know the OC in my banner, Toby? Yeah, he’s a zombeh now (for this school assignment, at least). :D

Plus a bonus radial design that sucked out my entire soul and some doodles I did to go along with a horror podcast for English class. As much as I wanted to die at times, I’m honestly really happy with how all of these turned out, and doodling in pen is honestly so much fun :]

[flowanon]

Just a dump of some miscellaneous school doodles and gifts I found lurking in my camera roll. :]

Most of these are super old (the last two are from like 2021), so it’s nice to look back on them (however terrible they are lol).

Fun Facts: The dino’s name is Brock, and the human was originally meant to be a design for Fritz! (Y’know the MCI victim from FNAF? 😭)

[flowanon]

I love crafting so much like y’all have no idea

[flowanon]

Greetings, FNAF fandom. Please accept this humble offering.

These are all really old, but I still like them enough! :]

[flowanon]

2020 was a year, let me tell ya

[flowanon]

In celebration of summer, here’s a collection of fairly old pieces I did for the library :]

[flowanon]

I’m trying to figure out how to convert some old .swf files into something I can post here, but in the meantime, here are some old, fairly bad storyboards that went with them:

[flowanon]

He’s reading Wings of Fire 👍

Swatch sheets:

Math-related school projects are always so out-of-pocket istg 😭

Lore dump for anybody who’s interested because I love these guys:

This is Swift, local pathetic crackhead burglar. He has approximately 37 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces. 👍

His name is actually “Soot,” but he goes by “Swift” for the same reasons Eugene goes by “Flynn Rider.”He’s meant to be a literal play on the phrase "cat burglar," but, much like Kathleen Kennedy, he thoroughly sucks at his job. Yes, all of his gadgets are cat-toy themed and magically manifest from behind his back. I believe his personality is best summed up by “sass with a side of class." The lamp he's carrying does have lore significance ("Local Unemployed Crackhead Releases A Bubbly Ancient Genie That For Some Reason Talks Like A Victorian Child" (her name is Foxtail btw)), but I'm not too sure where I want to take it as of yet. :]

Also, the giraffe is Gerald. He’s just some guy don’t worry about him.

As a bonus, here’s the first drawing I ever did of Swift. It’s definitely not the best, but still fun to look back on:

Original Sketches:

Aww, he’s adorable! <3 I’ve always had a soft spot for creative robot OCs hehe :]

Also, I don’t think he looks too stiff or too boring at all (you did better than I would have done at least lol)! Since he’s based off a wind-up toy, I think the stiffness adds to his very mechanical, almost desensitized vibe, and sometimes being “just some guy” amongst all the craziness can be grounding and also somewhat appealing. However, if you want him to stand out more, maybe try leaning into the brightly-colored uncanniness of traditional tin wind-up toys, such as through very stiff and mechanical movements, a bright-but-scratched-up paint job, and how the only sounds he makes is the mechanical whirring of his inner workings. This can create a nice contrast between how he’s this lanky, quiet, almost eerie guy with a really soft and fun personality once you get to know him. I’m admittedly a bit of a sucker for “big scary creature being kind/fun” characters. ^^

Man I made this bugger like shortly after the pilot came out,, I need to doodle him more. Revisit the design idk I'm not too happy with him tbh, looks stiff? not in a hood way either,
