Here's a Murder Mystery I drew after the posting of MSA The Future 4 years ago! (WOAH)
Always ment to finish, revise, or redraw it, but never got to it. My plan was to post it back then, better late than never I guess! XD
Still cool to look back on! Currently working on my own short film for my senior year of college, time is wild ^^
That would curtainly be an interesting thing to witness xD
(I just now realized how intense the colors of the reference I used for Phosphora were lol. I'm easily entranced by bright colors)
If I were to give it an explaination, I'd say this close to what happens when she stands in an intense ray of light from the sun / other bright light sources. Her fur stands out alone already but under those conditions, it tends to take on a luminesent look that would make any regular person do a double take and question what reality they're in lol
Darkpaw takes it as a sign that it's too bright / hot outside to be in the sunlight lol. If she looks somewhat like this (an actual lightning flash) :
He's either not coming out of his den that day or jumping in a pond lol
And indeed they are!! :D The Fluffball of Darkness is quite content with his funky new plant family ^^
DARKPAW IN NATURECLAN HOURS :))
Top left: Darkpaw makes sure he's taken seriously upfront, whilst also sounding very ominous. Vineblossom is very confused oof, That moment when a child breaks into your home and announces he killed your enemy
Top right: Vineblossom is even more bewildered about his terms of living on her territory and only being identified as a "Warrior of Nature", but ends up accepting him anyway. The clan needs the help. (And she is also concerned for his health because of the state of his tail.)
[There's also a reference to Farvaduvet's "silly KIU AU" because Vineblossom would definitely give him a flower to wear and it would likely be a petunia lol]
Bottom left: That moment when you just sat down after doing chores but then someone asks you to do another task >:(
(Darkpaw is annoyed, and the flower suffers. Fun fact: Petunias represent soothing nature, resentment, and anger)
But look, the leaf is back! He found one like the one he wore when he was younger :)
(I imagine they use honey or treesap to put accessories on their fur. Or sheer force of will and artistic freedom)
Also, Serenemoon is Arlon. He will be drawn another time ^^
Bottom middle: NatureClan is known to tend to nature very often as part of their duties. Here, after showing him how to graft, Vineblossom supervises Darkpaw as he secures the new branch to the tree.
Vineblossom then starts thinking about how the tree was damaged and is bitter towards the rogues that invaded her clan and ended up trampling her plants and stealing prey. She is not fond of rogues at all.
Darkpaw sees her staring into space, full of ire, and takes his turn now to be confused lol
Bottom right: Darkpaw goes on patrol with Lightningflash (Phosphora).
She often calls him a Fluffball of Darkness, so he shuts this conversation down immediately
(He is a fluffball of darkness tho)
Illustration: Darkpaw rests in his den, tail fully recovered and looking healthier. Vineblossom passes by and is glad to see her apprentice feels comfortable being in this clan space a lot more than he ever was in CalamityClan :)
@planeoftheeclectic that's exactly it! It's an arrow and wind trail / the air being pushed outwards as Dark Pit dodges.
There's a lot more outward wind in the sketch I made of my AU DP, which the poster is based on! Adobe Illustrator can be a bit tough for novices so the poster looks a lot more stiff haha
A poster project I did for one of my college classes! I'm advertising KIU to my peers whenever I can haha
Winn & Jasmine: my MLP AU Edition! ~*
Semi-complex designs for these two as their color schemes are unique, but easily clash. Had to find a fun way to mix them!
I usually base these mlp designs on the prominent colors of their most worn outfit or general color vibes. Utilized to its full extent here :]
Winn
- Winn is a hippogriff! Their hair reminded me of one & they seem to be the tallest of the trio, so this felt like a cool choice for them.
- They were the first in their class to get their cutie mark, in an assignment in which you had to write up a law / act and persuade people to vote in favor of it. Winn did this with both a good presentation and the power of cool as heck skateboard skills. Their cutie mark is a colorfully lined scroll and a skateboard on it! (This cutie mark is based on their answer during the career presentation.)
The whole class was in awe to see them earn it in class, and Dev was rather jealous at first. Ultimately respects them, though.
Jasmine
- Jasmine is a kirin! She reminds me a bit of Autumn Blaze, I think they'd be friends if they were in the same mlp universe.
- She dyes herself with magic to get those blue stripes, spots on her mane and tail, and leopard or cheetah spots (based on the print on her shorts).
- Her cutie mark has to do with her love of music / singing. Even if a bit scratchy & rough right now, passion for something can definitely lead you down plenty of paths you want to be on in the future!
AU Info
- The area they live in has a lot of different creatures living together
- Most of the main character names are easily fantasy names, so I'm keeping them the same for the most part unless the name is less mlp-like. Will likely give them different last names though!
Peri & Dev
Hazel & Cosmo & Wanda -
Small update: College is trying to steal my soul again, I have so much to do 🙃
I'm working on my fic during my freetime but it's probably gonna be a while again x)
I'll try to find something with au content if I post another update :)
Here is the rest of this mini comic for my AU~
Pitpaw and Darkpaw are apprentices! (And 8 moons old, so somewhat close to the size of full grown cats, but still slightly smol. I will probably make full color references that better show their designs sometime :)
Now that Pitpaw is older and has shown to be a very promising and strong apprentice, he goes on a mission to finally confront Star Pantherblaze about kitnapping Darkkit. Palelight can also guide him telepathically when he needs the help, as they share a powerful connection that allows Palelight to see his path through his eyes.
He is very worried for Darkkit, as he stopped talking telepathically after month of being in CalamityClan. Pitpaw and Star Palelight talk about what may have happened to him, fearing the worst and hoping for the best.
He unexpectedly finds both Pantherblaze AND Darkpaw, and is shocked to see that he's allegedly chosen to serve CalamityClan / the Darkworld clans (this is a Dark Forest / Underworld word mix here). Palelight tells Pitpaw to be prepared to fight him.
Seeing that he has to fight his brother and tired of Star Pantherblaze's constant bossing him around, Darkpaw snaps and attacks her, knocking her off the tree and shoving her into the tall rock Pitpaw is standing on, which takes one of her lives (and possibly all of them.)
I did not want to draw a fight scene lol
Also Darkpaw sees what looks like a collar and immediately dubs his brother "Kittypit" lol. There are no kittypets on their island, but they know what they are :P (Darkpaw also doesn't have anything against them, but just really hates the idea of a collar.)
The twins run as fast they can out of CalamityClan and Pitpaw asks if Darkpaw will come back to LightClan with him, still hoping that he might, but also knowing that Darkpaw has probably made up his mind. And he has, no convincing can be done.
I like to imagine him saying he's "no clan's warrior" is this version of "servant to no other than himself". He's still a warrior that will live in a clan, but also not sworn to one in particular.
Which means that even though he's going to live in NatureClan, he's gonna be a future "Warrior of Nature", not a "NatureClan warrior". Star Vineblossom (Viridi) will just have to put up with this now xD
Extra facts:
-Due to the stress of having to put on a reluctant facade for his survival, Darkpaw's fur is not in the best condition. This is why his tail isn't very fluffy anymore :( (It will be better once he moves into NatureClan. It won't be as fluffy as Pitpaw's tail, but it'll be healthier ^^)
-Star Vineblossom will be Darkpaw's new mentor! Always take in the sassy lost child lol
(Very minor Diakóptis chapter 28 spoiler) Was reading the new chapter of Diakóptis on ao3 and noticed a particular line that seemed.. familar. Hades knows, @farvaduvet Should any artist who agrees run perhaps? Maybe. The forth wall is non-existent. *Books it*
Wooooo!! This was so fun to color! ^^
And the lineart is so good!! :]
Just these two having a fun day out, looking cute!
The lineart was done by me, but the coloring that brought this to life was done by the awesome @polarisblitzwing ! Check them out!!
Hello! Welcome to my art blog! :) I like animation, drawing, writing, and generally creating things. Animation is my passion and my major, and something I hope to get a lot better at! Current hyperfixations: Kid Icarus Uprising, MLP, Warrior Cats, WOF, MHA, FOP: A New Wish, and Gravity Falls :) Probably will keep reblogs mostly to responses for now, but that may change in the future lol Have a good day! ^^
