Challenge #3

Rec Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges! Leave a comment in today’s post at The Fandom Snowflake Challenge on Dreamwidth, saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

What makes fandom more fun is when more people get involved. Tell us where the party is.

You never know where you might find your next fandom squee play place!

Challenge 03 Something light and interesting. This brief is particularly open to colours and a flat, layered style.

The size is open to what you find fits your concept, but I’ll be trying for a 200mm x 200mm frame. As always, resolution should be marked up at 300dpi. Good luck.

~ a charming day to converse ~ {Para//Raquel}

As Professor Zatara went over his books, preparing for the lesson in charms for that morning, Bette sat in the back, scribbling down on a scrap of parchment her plans for the day. She always liked to have her agenda planned out, especially during weeks she had quidditch games. That way, she never fell behind on her homework.

As usual, she sat on the right side of the class, her books stacked around her, and her wand out, ready and prepared for whatever the class would bring. It was a few minutes early, and only a few more students had wandered in and found their seats.

The blonde played with her quill, spinning it between her fingers in boredom as she finished her writing. She wondered what the day had in store for her today...

Introduction Post* Meet the Mods Post * Master Post * Challenge #1 * Challenge #2

Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.

One of the things I love about fandom is our endless capacity for imagination, and riffing with fandom friends about how we think characters would react in new situations is just...*chef's kiss.* We also frequently find ourselves discussing creators of favorite canons -- we swoon over delightful costume and set design, we analyze authors' and directors' choices, we squee when actors obviously delight in bringing a canon character to life. So...what if you could have them over for dinner?

Challenge #3

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know? Leave a comment in today’s post at The Fandom Snowflake Challenge on DW saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

My 13-year-old said she'd love to hang out with MCU-Thor for an afternoon, because he'd be really fun. I, personally, am having a hard time choosing -- there are a fair number of characters I'd like to have over for dinner because I'd like to just *fuss* over them (looking at you, Elric brothers), and characters I'd love to just visit with (like Gandalf, and Shuri, and Korg). There's a number of people I would love to talk to about their creations (like Stephen King, and Martha Wells, and George Miller), and several actors I'd enjoy visiting with (Hugh Laurie, and Ming-Na Wen, and the more I learn about what an enormous nerd Henry Cavill is, the more I'd like to nerd with him). There's also a fair number of fellow fans who I would LOVE to feed a delicious meal, for all the fabulous fic and art they've shared.

Just like there's no restrictions for time, space, or pesky reality, there's no pandemic restrictions, either. Who would you love to show up for a visit?

Check out the comments for all the awesome participants of the challenge and visit their journals/challenge responses to comment on their posts and cheer them on.

And just as a reminder: this is a low pressure, fun challenge. If you aren't comfortable doing a particular challenge, then don't. We aren't keeping track of who does what.

ART CHALLENGE #03

THIRD MOONCAT CHALLENGE GO!  I know it took me forever and a day to get this one up, but this is a big one!  And very near and dear to my heart♥ So let’s get started!

Challenge Task: Create your Mooncat Persona!

Task breakdown: Using the guidelines I give you below, you will be creating an RPG styled “persona”.  Imagine you are in a world similar to Final Fantasy, Zelda, Legend of Mana, Harvest Moon, etc.  You will be designing a character that will fit into this “world” we create.  -And yes, this character should be based off you!  (Hence “persona” ;>)  How directly you take this is entirely up to you, but we make up the Mooncat community so please represent yourself in some form or another! (Also this is as close as I can get to larping with you guys plz humor me T - T)

Backstory: -- Ｌｕｃａｉｔ, the city of Mooncat’s, is a moderately large city of it’s time.  Many other races inhabit it alongside these humanoid felines, from delicate elven beings to much larger and intimidating beasts.  Technology is magic based and not very advanced other than within the citadel.  This is where the council resides and sovereign, Cait Roca (Cait prefixes all royals).  These royals have been chosen by what is believed to be direct line from The Mooncat itself.  They do their best to make decisions based on the good of the city and its people.  The city is not without it’s downfalls though.  Even with soldiers surveying the streets, crime still occurs within the lower districts.  While the city is fairly passive overall, they do have their enemies.

Ｌｏｒｅ says that Mooncat’s (also referred to as Children of the Moon) were created by the power of The Mooncat, a large mystical, dragon-like feline that comes from the moon.  Thus they worship this being and take great honor and pride in being descendants of such a beautiful and powerful creature.

When Mooncat’s are born, they spend the first 10 years or so of their lives learning about the ways of their culture.  Once they hit maturity, they then choose to pursue one of three skill paths: Ｗａｒｒｉｏｒ, Ｍｙｓｔｉｃ or Ｐａｃｉｆｉｓｔ.  Warriors are skilled fighters and handle weapons well.  They choose to either stay within the city walls and keep the streets safe, or join the infantry on the outskirts of the town to protect against enemies.  Mystics are those granted with stronger magical abilities.  These Mooncats tend to make great healers (defensive/light magic) or back up in battle (offensive/dark magic). If the Mooncat chooses to not join the infantry, they tend to make a living by running small shops, working in the market, or providing services using their skillsets (blacksmith for example).   (**Note: Mystic is the only skill that can both join the infantry OR work passively in the city- i.e. a healer in battle vs a healer in a clinic).

Once the Mooncat has chosen their skill path, their family celebrates their coming of maturity.  During this ritual, the Mooncat receives a full set of ｔａｔｔｏｏｓ across their body, unique to them though reminiscent of the markings on their fur and hair.  This ritual is intense, but the Mooncats are typically very proud of this moment, and honored to finally bear the markings of their people.  They are also given one special tattoo that represents the skill path they have chosen.  This is the ｓｙｍｂｏｌ of The Mooncat (boobmoon) and is placed either on the forehead (warrior), chest (mystic), or stomach (pacifist).

Ｍｏｏｎｃａｔｓ can be quite vain and show it in their way of dress or the weapons and tools they carry.  They proudly embellish their things with symbols of the moon to represent where they come from.  If a Mooncat has committed a crime, they are brought forward for judgement from the council.  If their crime cannot be reprimanded, they are exiled from the city of Lucait with a single slash through their ability tattoo.  This is to make an example to others-- so it will always be known of what they once were, and are no longer. --

------------------------------------------------ - - - ✧

Guidelines: 

☾Ｃｒｅａｔｉｎｇ  ａ  Ｍｏｏｎｃａｔ  －－

-They are predominately human!  The feline portions must be kept to feets, ears, tails!  Hands/paws are optional, but faces must be kept human.  That being said, feel free to get creative with your tails, ears, feet, markings etc as long as they keep within the general Mooncat guideline! 

-Must have the “Mooncat Symbol” tattoo either on the forehead (primary role: warrior), chest (primary role: magic), stomach (primary role: other) in addition to their bodily tattoos/markings; PLEASE NOTE - You can only select one primary role! Even if your character does multiple things, please select one primary subject they excel in! (We don’t want no OPs pls+ty!♥) 

-Must be a MoonCAT.  This might be obvious, but please don’t change your Mooncat to anything other than half human/ half feline please!  :) they are Mooncats for a reason!

-Can be any gender you prefer~

-Remember they are a race!  Think about Viera, Mi’quote, or Moogles from Final Fantasy.  There will be many small feature changes from one Moogle to the next, but you can still tell they’re a Moogle!  (thank you Lehua for this comparison! LOL♥) So try and keep this in mind when creating, you’re more than encouraged to get creative!  Just make sure they have the same “feel” :)

------------------------------------------------ - - - ✧

✧Ｃｒｅａｔｉｎｇ  ａｎ  Ａｌｔ  Ｒａｃｅ／Ｓｐｅｃｉｅｓ  －－

-Must fit within the RPG-styled world (again, think of games like Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda) and the backstory!

-CANNOT bare the mark of the “Mooncat Symbol” tattoo (moon designs within their clothing however is fine if they live in town, since it would make sense all the clothing has a similar vibe to it!)

-Feel free to team up with other members if you like a race someone has created!

------------------------------------------------ - - - ✧

I KNOW IT’S A LOT OF INFO but hopefully you guys still have fun!  We held a Q+A session on this which you can view here if anything is unclear: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/175321086  If your question wasn’t answered or if you just want me to glance over and OK your design or give any input, that’s totally cool too!  Just shoot me a message on Discord.

Please submit: At least 1 image of your design and a small blurb or notes about your character including (but not limited to): skill class, main personality traits, + job.  Bonus points for having some backstory ;3 Deadline: October 13th! 

There will also be no “winner” since this is a sort of community challenge, but once it’s all said and done we’ll browse through some of the best entries on stream! :3 

[mooncatchallenges]

CHALLENGE #03 CLOSED

Submissions are officially closed for our third challenge!  This shouldn’t stop you from fleshing out or completing your characters outside the event, but what is submitted now will be what we go over on stream.  We’ll be viewing all the entries next Saturday, October 28th! (during my typical stream hours). It will probably take a while to go through all the entries, so grab some coffee, a snack, and come join us to learn about each others characters! :3
