[Image description: A digital drawing of Leopardstar, a character from Warrior Cats. She is a yellow cat with purplish-brown, square-shaped spots and pale yellow paws, belly, chest, muzzle, and tail-tip. She has yellow eyes with orange pupils and eyelashes and a couple small scars. Her left side is visible and she has her left paw raised. /End image description]

I'm gonna have to simplify this design a bunch if I ever wanna animate her.

I'm not quite sure about her colors on this one, I might change them in a future redesign. But for now I'm keeping them.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Tigerclaw/Tigerstar, a dark brown cat with very dark brown stripes and a light brown belly, chest, face, paws, and tail tip. He has a few scars and yellow eyes with orange eyelashes. He has one paw raised with his claws unsheathed. His expression is stern and unfriendly. /end ID]

Here he is, the big bad guy himself. I finally figured out how to adjust saturation of PNGs, so hopefully everything will be less washed out in the future. I don't think I'm going to go back and adjust the saturation on anything I've already made, that seems like too much work.

Does anyone else wonder what Luna's original Season 1 design would look like when corrected for the weird, washed-out color palette of early Season 1? Like, has anyone tried to edit the design and make the colors more saturated to see what it would have looked like if it had ever appeared outside of early Season 1?

ID: A digital drawing of Spottedleaf. She is a pink, red, bright green, and light gray cat sitting and licking her right paw. She has a serene expression on her face. The background is black.

Spottedleaf in yummu watermelun Part of @m-chromatic's color palette challenge.

The colors are actually pretty weird on this one, but I'm proud of the pose and design. I might do a recolor of this with her normal colors someday.

Fun fact: Spottedleaf was my favorite character back in 5th grade an some really pretty fan art of her was my iPad background at the time.

Someone talk to me about ProwlBee. Preferably Transformers: Animated, but any continuity will do.

Is this the curse of every Transformers fan? To constantly mourn 1000 different versions of these two and their friendship? To constantly wish that they could just stay friends? That they could just see eye to eye and walk away from the ledge? Before it's too late?

Just finished Transformers One. Was not expecting to be moved almost to tears by these dumb robots.

I'm watching G1 Transformers and, do the Decepticons not have a medic? In 2 separate episodes in late Season 2, we see Starscream fixing up people. In one episode (I think War Dawn), he welds Skywarp's wing, and in Cosmic Rust, he's the one to pull the meteor/asteroid out of Megatron's shoulder. In Cosmic Rust, Starscream mentions a repair bay, but we never see the bots who would work there and we never see anyone other than Starscream providing medical aid to the Decepticons.

Do they just not have a medic? And because Starscream was a scientist, they decided he was the most qualified? Even though I doubt he studied anything even remotely medical?

Are? Are they okay? Do they need a doctor?

(I know no one dies in G1 until the movie, but hypothetically: how many Decepticon casualties would be caused by not having an actual medic?)

ignore that the perspective looks like shit. this is really funny to me

The main characters in the last show or movie you watched now have to deep-clean your house for you. How does that go?

Prompt 1: Greed

[nocturnes-hideout]

I was ruminating on the Old Order of the Stone and I started to wonder... did they really need the command block? I mean, they say they were a bunch of nobodies before the command block, and that's likely true. But... we see them after that. Even without the command block, Ivor can make good potions and enchantments, Ellegaard can make good redstone machinery, and Magnus can still make big explosions without being killed. We don't really get to see what Gabriel can do because he's compromised for the entire story no matter who you choose to save in Episode 1. But we do see him, briefly, successfully fending off one of the Witherstorm's tentacles in his fortress in Episode 1. Also, Gabriel tells Jesse to go find the rest of the Order and get their help. So either Gabriel has convinced himself that they really are the heroes they tell everyone they are, or he knows they really, truly do have useful skills. (And they do have useful skills, the reason why they're no help in the battle is because they're too cowardly to actually fight for most of it.) And in Season 2, Ivor says he's heard that Gabriel is doing "wandering warrior" things. If he really couldn't fight, then how and why would he be going around as a "wandering warrior"?

Soren likely built some of the stuff in the End after Ivor stole the command block from him, so it's likely he can still build well. After all, how much can a command block really help you with design? Construction, yes it can build the whole thing for you, but you still have to design it yourself.

So how much did they really need the command block? It made them stronger and faster, but you can't completely falsify skills like that. So was it really impossible for them to have done those expeditions without the command block? Is it possible that they had what it took for most of it (not including the Ender Dragon), but Soren lacked confidence in them and in himself? And in his fear started to use the command block? And then a paranoia arose, that they weren't good enough without the command block, causing him to use it more and more, breaking his friends' trust more and more.

Maybe they weren't good enough without the command block for the expeditions that they did. And they definitely weren't ready for the Ender Dragon. But maybe all they needed was more training and preparation. Maybe they could have done other great things, like build those Nether railroads that they did. Or those fortresses and temples in the Overworld.

The idea that they're all complete frauds with no talent who lied and cheated their way into fame is interesting, and is the story intended to be told. But I like the idea that they weren't as unskilled as Soren thinks they are and were and Soren used the command block, lied to his friends, for no real reason. That, maybe if Soren just had a bit more trust in his friends, was just a bit more honest with them, none of this would have happened. And they could have really been heroes.

ID: A digital drawing of a scarred, white cat with a black tail, face, ears, and legs. It has yellow eyes, a black marking on its back, and a pensive expression on his face. The character's name, Blackstar, and the colors used float above its back. /end ID.

It's been a while, but here's my Blackstar design for the 100 Warriors Challenge. Hopefully the wait for the next one will be shorter, but I cannot promise anything about any afterwards.

I have a strange love for this old war criminal. I think the writers could have done more with him and his potential change of heart (or lack thereof! that's also compelling!), but luckily we can try to trace an arc (or again lack thereof) ourselves.
