"The Future's Out To Get You"

"The Future's Out to Get You"

Featuring Maski Hart (an OC I've had for a few years now) and a strange ghost thing that may or may not be a friend. Time will tell.

I have another drawing of Maski on my DA, which has a tiny bit more lore in it, so I guess if you want more info, you could look there. The main idea here is that the ghost is suspicious but Maski hasn't figured that out yet.

To increase activity on this blog, I thought I'd post some WIPs. I make way more unfinished drawings than finished ones so there's a chance I'll never finish some of these.

Anyway, the first is a redesign of a sona I had in mid/late 2020, named Seppos (September Apos; Apos is short for Aposterous because I'm very good at naming things /s). She's supposed to be summer-themed.

A drawing of an orange-and-white cat with a blue fringe and tail-tip and some markings shaped like clouds.

Next is a concept for a creature to inhabit the world of a project I'm working on. These guys are omnivores who live in woodlands and grasslands. The design will probably change.

Some weird cross of a lizard and a kangaroo. It stands on its hindlegs with its arms dangling. It has long horns on its head that point forward.

And finally, a commission for an irl friend (I don't take commissions currently, by the way; this one is from a while ago). Ft our cats, Remy (left) and Lev (right).

A sketch of a cat looking at its reflection, except the reflection is a different cat.

So yeah. I'm going on holiday until Wednesday so bye

A drawing of Firestar from Warrior Cats. It looks like traditional art, but isn't. Firestar is smiling.

Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me.

Rambling under the cut

The character here is Firestar from Warriors. I'd tentatively recommend reading the books if you haven't read them, but I'm not confident people will like them as they have their problems. Although most of the problems show up after the books that feature Firestar. He's supposed to be a Somali cat here. There wasn't any reason for drawing him. I just default to cats with my art experiments because they're easy to draw. And I did a study last night and I wanted to put the stuff I remembered to good use.

I'm trying to experiment with art that mimics traditional art, specifically the doodles I like to draw in class and stuff. This was really my first attempt and I think it turned out good so yeah!

Also, this is my first art piece of the year! Well, the first finished one. The New Year's Redraw is coming... eventually... I'm not too fussed about that coming out on time because I'm not usually on time with them anyway. One of them took four months and another was just never finished because it looked so ugly. This year's version will hopefully turn out very good, but I'll have to see. Anyway. Thanks to all my followers and stuff, and here's to a good year. Maybe I'll even open commissions.

A reference sheet for a creature that kind of looks like a weird four-legged bird. The creature has a mask for a face that is shaped like a bird's head and surrounded by white bird wings. The rest of its body is black. It has a pair of wings on its back, a raised first toe, and humanlike hands that hold a white scythe with eyes on it. In the top left corner, it says "VOID", and in the bottom centre, "Design © Aposterous".

Welcome to my art, where I only draw refs for characters I never use. Today’s instalment is Void, a character who used to have a purpose (and might again someday), but is currently just a cool design I have.

As their latest lore goes, Void is the spirit of death. They don’t do any of the soul collecting, though. They’re more of a shepherd. They oversee an army of little grim reaper creatures who bring the souls back to the afterlife, where Void tends to them. Void’s gender is ambiguous because they never speak out loud, and they have no obvious physical traits to identify biological sex. They don’t care what people call them, so people just pick whatever works.

This character has sort of been slotted into an idea I had that, in a dream scenario, would be some kind of game. Imagine Creatures of Sonaria but the survival aspects are better. Of course, I lack the motivation and skill to make that idle dream a reality, so it’ll probably never happen. In this hypothetical game, Void would be an NPC that you can do missions for.

Anyway, I’d write more (is it weird to make descriptions long on Tumblr?) but it’s almost midnight and I’m. So tired. See you guys (all 18 of you, wow) tomorrow. If things go to plan, I’ll be posting again on Jan 1st because I do a yearly redraw on New Year’s Eve/Day. I’m excited to work on it. I feel like I’ve improved a lot with my scene art this year, and unless I get lazy I'll probably try to paint it so that might turn out cool. Ok bye

A lineup of ten cats on a blue background. The cats have their names labelled above them. From left to right and top to bottom, the order is as follows: Rowanstar (brown, spotted, blue eyes), Toadheart (long-furred grey tabby, green eyes), Skystripe (brown-and-white, yellow eyes), Mouselarch (grey, amber eyes), Wolfpaw (grey, blue eyes), Ganderpaw (brown, green eyes), Hillpaw (brown-and-white, green eyes), Webpaw (tabby, blue eyes), Morningpaw (grey and white, blue eyes), and Creekpaw (ginger, blue eyes).

Back at it again with my ClanGen game! You might remember me talking about ClanGen. You may naturally assume I've picked it up again recently and decided to draw my clan's ten founders, and that I spent a few days to a week making this. And you would, naturally, be wrong. I started this in February. I drew the first eight cats. All that was left was Morningpaw and Creekpaw. But I just. Stopped. And forgot about it. Until a month or so ago, when I FINALLY drew the last two cats. And then I forgot about it again until a week or two ago, when I finished it up, and I'm now posting it.

These cats are from HeronClan, a fanmade Warriors Clan that lives by the sea. They are the Clan's founders. You might have noticed the 2:3 adult to child ratio, which was an accident, and resulted in Rowanstar getting four apprentices: Wolfpaw, Webpaw, Morningpaw and Creekpaw. I can only imagine what that must have been like. Mouselarch was the only warrior at the beginning, too. I'm now in the 30-somethingth moon, and the Clan has wayyy more members now; I'm thinking of drawing another list of cats once I get to Moon 50, but we'll have to see.

Here are the traits/skills of each cat, so you can get a bit of a feel for their personalities:

Rowanstar: calm, unusually strong fighter

Toadheart: careful, great teacher

Skystripe: faithful, great hunter (pain)

Mouselarch: strange, good teacher

Wolfpaw: patient

Ganderpaw: ambitious

Hillpaw: ambitious

Webpaw: loyal

Morningpaw: compassionate

Creekpaw: cold

I started this game before the experience system changed, so that's why the apprentices don't have skills yet.

Anyway, I've been procrastinating on this thing for long enough, so here it is! Enjoy.

I'm assembling a summary of art because I do it every year, however, this year's has been really annoying because it turns out I made basically no good personal art in March. And November.

So, it's kind of less of a documentation of my improvement, and more of a frustrating reminder that I can't draw as often as I used to.

But at least I made some art. There's always that.

A drawing of two cats sitting next to each other. The one on the left is black-and-white with blue eyes and a little shorter than the one on the right, who is brown-and-white with green eyes. They are both smiling.

These are two characters from my main ClanGen game: Hillpatch and his son, Shellpaw. Hillpatch is the brown-and-white one and Shellpaw is the black-and-white one. I don't have much to say about them lol, I just wanted to draw them. I also drew the original ten starter cats (which includes Hillpatch, just as an apprentice), and that drawing will be posted eventually.

Idk what is expected on Tumblr in terms of having a theme for your blog, if you can't tell. I'm probably just going to throw all of my OC stuff into this one, including my ClanGen stuff, unless I start making a lot of ClanGen art, which is unlikely. So yeah. Expect that
