Jay Bird's Request 2023 [Closed]

Well, life is better. I'm almost out of college and this last year doesn't require as much study as the previous ones since I will be mostly working on the lab and on my thesis. So, more free time means more drawing time.

I will draw according to my free time. I will open 5 slots at a time plus a waitlist. This will be not first come first serve. Depending on how many requests I get I will be choosing the ones that interest me the most (I'm biased towards interesting designs and/or poses). Either way, I will probable get to your request eventually.

These are the drawing options:
Headshot
Full-body
Signature of full-body - No shading and I will most likely use only solid colors
Signature of headshots - No shading, may put more details in the eyes
Scene - If you choose this, describe the scene, background, context and characters
Reference sheet - This will include your character at different stages (kit, apprentice, warrior, leader, medicine cat, etc.) + the color palette and other details

Type of request: Full Body

Character Name: Nightstar

Gender: Tom

Appearance description: A black tom with white splotching localized to his face, back, tail tip, and a paw. He has scars on his belly, on his shoulder, and small but many smattering his face - most notably his brow and lips. He is tall, very lean, with long swooping fur that is groomed and smoothed mercilessly. He has amber eyes.


Fur pattern and color: He has a diamond-shaped white splotch between his brows as a leader mark. Half of his nose bridge is white with speckling leading up to his eyes. His left paw has white covering his toes, and a small amount of spots to prevent clean colour seperation. His chest has a stripe of white in a subtle diamond shape with slight spotting. There are 6 white dots on his back on and between his shoulder blades, these are leader marks as well. His tail tip follows the same pattern with mild white spotting here.

His fur is long and sleek, and his cheek fur frames his face like a lions mane or a sweeping, sharp beard. The rest of his fur flows with his curves and ruffs up at points that frequently move like shoulders. His tail fur is long and feathery.

Nightstar ref:

Eye color: Amber, feel free to use warmer tones, as he's usually angry.

Build: Tall and Lean, Muscled.

Pose: You may position him as you like, but Night typically holds himself like a leader or royalty. A general commanding an army. Always at the ready.

Personality and/or Expression: Nightstar is a cat that has somehow done remarkably well to hide and suffocate any obvious signs of his anxiety when it comes to his leadership. Nightstar has only one goal, and that is to protect Shadowclan by any means necessary, even if that means being cruel. Nightstar has threatened the lives of his forbidden kin to the cat who carried and loved them and would do it again, as he believes any threat to him as well is reflective to the whole of Shadowclan. He thinks very little of himself now, being consistently stomped on (his pov) by authority his whole life, and is now the authority with no training, he's just winging it. His antisocial tendencies and his lackluster ability to navigate most social situations, even though his position comes with a certain degree of understanding and diplomacy, means that Nightstar often finds himself in hot water. Recently, he has had to execute a warrior of his, while unpopular within Shadowclan, he finds that he is very distraught and haunted by this. It was the right choice, but every cat matters to him greatly even if he doesn't exactly show it.

Type of request: Full-body

Character Name: Owl
Gender: Tom

Appearance description: A tall, slender, and graceful tom, with bright blue eyes. Owl stands approximately 13 inches at the shoulder. His fur is mostly brown getting dark on the face and ears, and lighter at the chest and underbelly. There is a small white spot on the upper part of his chest.

image:

Fur pattern and color: Mostly brown tom with the mink fur pattern. He has a small white spot on his chest, with a dark brown mask around his face, and dark brown ears.

Eye color: Blue
Build: Tall and slender, somewhat fluffy.
Pose: sitting tall or standing tall, a pose that you believe would embody someone prideful.
Personality and/or Expression: Expression should look prideful or elegant maybe?
Owl is a very prideful tom but he isn't without his kindness. He works hard, and holds himself to a high standard to the point where he over works himself often.

Welcome back, Jay Bird! It's good to see you (and your awesome artwork) around again! <3

Type of request: Full-body

Character Name: Leopardsun
Gender: She-cat
Appearance description: (copied from her character page <3)
Even at a glance, Leopardsun is rather intimidating; tall and lithe, with long legs and a thin but powerful frame, she's confident and graceful in her movements. Her medium-length ash-gray fur, distinctive black spots, single black paw, and long feathery tail bring to mind the image of a legendary leopard cloaked in shadow, while her piercing green eyes are reminiscent of the marshland at night.
Fur pattern and color: Shades of gray, with black spots and one black paw.
Eye color: Green!
Build: Tall and thin!
Pose: I think pose #10 on this sheet would probably suit her, but if you have a different idea then go for it!
Personality and/or Expression: Though she's a mix of awkwardly enthusiastic (cheerful and trying to be approachable despite her position as ShadowClan's deputy and her overall kind of intimidating appearance) and an angry emo teenager (as a direct result of the whirlwind of trauma that has been her life thus far- she lived her entire early life, from kithood to her warrior's vigil, under the Dark Forest's occupation, has two sets of dead parents (the second set of which sacrificed themselves to bring back StarClan), a missing/dead sister, and was thrown into deputyship at a relatively young age; among other things), Leopardsun's defining trait is her stubborn dedication to hope and optimism and her refusal to give in to despair. She believes in a better future, and that the fight to get there will be worthwhile.

Type of request: either or; whatever you want! <3

Character Name: Curlyfluff
Gender: Tom
Appearance description: A very fluffy tan tom with exceptionally curly fur and large light amber eyes. More often than not, he has a smile on his face. Here are photos of him for reference: click me
Fur pattern and color: his fur is all one color, no markings
Eye color: light amber
Build: i'd save average sized, his fluffy curls hide any sort of muscle tone that he might have lol
Pose: any pose in fine, maybe him in a playful stance? that'd be cute :D
Personality and/or Expression: happy go lucky guy, loves everyone especially his best friends for life. He's definitly a people pleaser and is currently doing his best to become more confident in his abilities as a warrior so that he can truly protect his clan in times of need. A smiling/gleeful expression please!

Type of request: Any you wish. I would love a full-body or even a reference sheet, but any of your art is wonderful!

Character Name: Perchstar
Gender: She-cat
Appearance description: A somewhat tall, sleek gray she-cat with a white chest, paws, tail-tip, and several white patches on her pelt. She has a very small ruff of white fur on her chest, light icy blue eyes, and a neutral expression. Her right ear is torn, and there is a scar on her left shoulder.
There is art of her in my signature as well :)
Fur pattern and color: Short gray and white fur. Her specific patches are evident in her art.
Eye color: Light blue
Build: Tall, lean
Pose:

Spoiler:

The middle pose on the left of this image
Personality and/or Expression:
Perchstar seems like the very picture of a perfect leader. Logical, cool, calm, and collected, with the ability to reason her way through any argument. Her face shows no sign of either indomitable anger, crushing despair or overwhelming happiness. However, she feels emotions just the same as any cat. She just... doesn’t know how to deal with them. So, in most cases, she doesn’t. She’ll shove her emotions far down inside of her and let them out when she is alone, or share them with her most trusted companions. That way, she stays calm outside, while hopeful or depressed or frustrated inside. This is good in the short term... but bad in the long term.

There are a few things that are very important to Perchstar. First: her friends. She has very few cats she would consider “friends,” but she values their wellbeing far above her own. If any harm comes to them, she suffers as surely as if the blow had been dealt to her. She can ignore her own grievances if necessary, but a slight against them cannot stand. Second: her Clan. RiverClan is her home, her soul. She will protect it with her life. Though she often does not believe herself worthy, she thinks she must do the best she can to lead her Clan so that they are safe and thriving. Third: the Code. Perchstar believes strongly that the warrior code must be followed to the letter. That does not keep her from being empathetic, but it does mean that she will not let things slide. Regardless of whether a friend, Clanmate, or enemy has broken the code, she will fight back against injustice and law-breaking with the cold ferocity of an avalanche.

Her outward expression is imperious, calm, and neutral. There is rarely even a hint of emotion expressed, but when it is, it is through the flick of an ear, the side glance of an eye, or the slight tilt of her head.

Type of request: Headshot or fullbody; whichever!

Character Name: Silverpaw
Gender: Tom
Appearance description: Silver is a tall, sturdy tom with prominent and angular features. His fur is only medium-length, though it gathers in noticeable tufts across his collar and chest, giving him the appearance of a slight mane and being thicker than he is. A dark gray cape drapes across his back, going all the way from the base of his neck to his hips, where it leads into an entirely gray tail, as well as a dark cap covering the upper half of his face (except for the white bridge of his nose) and ears. The lower half of his body is entirely white. He has attentive light green eyes. x
Fur pattern and color: Largely white with a gray mask-and-mantle, darker gray lining his shoulders, back, and tail. x (thank you xaan) x x
Eye color: Light yellow-green
Build: As an adult: Tall and sturdy. Silver will grow to be about 13" at the shoulder, and while he's a bit lean, there's power in his muscles.
Pose: Left, second row
Personality and/or Expression: Currently, Silver is as energetic and excitable as any apprentice, determined to prove himself in the eyes of his Clan (and forget the tragedies that follow him out of the nursery). As he gets older, Silver will grow to be charming and diplomatic, comfortable in thinking he could talk down any situation before hackles rise. Affable and outgoing, if a bit aloof, and the model warrior for ShadowClan. But he's ambitious and reactive, and in a way he'll never let go of his childish desire to be the best. He'll get what he wants, no matter the cost.

Welcome back Jay Bird <3

Type of request: Fullbody

Character Name: Beechfang
Gender: She-cat
Appearance description: Full profile She's the first cat in my signature as well. And more artwork.

Beechfang is a pale shaded silver tabby with white chin, throat, neck, chest and paws. The dark tabby stripes are relatively indistinct over much of Beechfang's body due to the white roots of the fur, but the tabby stripes are most apparent on her legs and shoulders. She has very long, thick fur that is best suited for the cold and is absolutely miserable in the warmer months. Dark yellow-green eyes stand out against her pale face. Her eyes are lined in black and she has a black nose and pawpads. There is a dark gray tabby stripe on each cheek just below her eyes, oddly distinct from the rest of her pelt. Her ears are both feathered and tufted with pale silvery fur.

Beneath the fluffy fur, Beechfang is solidly built with broad shoulders, well-muscled haunches and massive paws. She's very tall for a Maine Coon, standing 16in at the shoulder and weighing roughly 24lbs. While most of that weight is muscle, the sheer amount of fur does add a couple pounds.

As for scars, the ex-medicine cat has quite the collection due to how often she gets into fights. There are sets of clawmarks running down both flanks, mostly hidden by her long fur. Another set of clawmarks runs diagonally across her chest, and her left ear is tattered. Clawmarks stretch upwards from her chin, and another set spans from the top of her head, down between her ears and down her spine, all the way to the base of her tail. There is another tangle of clawmarks across her belly, as well. Across the right side of her face is a large burn scar, the eye on that side also gone. Starting just behind her left ear are scars created by lightning, these extend down the side of her neck, to her chest, shoulder and left foreleg, and can be described as resembling tree roots or fern leaves, also known as Lichtenberg figures. Smaller burn scars litter her pelt as well, all a result of being struck by lightning.

Fur pattern and color: Silver tabby with white muzzle, neck/chest, belly and paws.
Eye color: Greenish-yellow
Build: She's a big, fluffy Maine Coon, and still quite muscular despite age (and stress, so much stress) slowly beginning to creep up on her.
Pose: Standing maybe? Idk, surprise me?
Personality and/or Expression: She's old, tired and absolutely miserable in her exile, and is trying not to show it (and probably failing, because it's Beech).  She's learned to be less combative and hostile the hard way, and has more regrets than Riverclan has cats.

I love your art so much!

Type of request: Fullbody

Character Name: Brookstone
Gender: She-cat
Appearance description: A brown-and-white tabby she-cat with dark stripes and a lean yet strong physique. Her paws are webbed, typical for most Riverclan cats. The bridge of her nose, her muzzle, her chest, her underbelly, and her paws are all white. Her fur is short, soft, and is almost never properly groomed. She has rather striking blue eyes and a deeper pink nose.

Her scars can be found on the art I made for her. [X] (It's a slightly bigger version of the one from my sig and it's separated)  

Here's her face claim: [X]
Fur pattern and color: Brown-and-white tabby
Eye color: Cerulean Blue
Build: Medium-tall / Lean / Muscled
Pose: Suprise me!
Personality and/or Expression: Brookstone is quite the extraverted molly. She has no problems making friends in her clan with how confident she is—their attention is something she seeks often. She's surprisingly great with kits and calls them all her "Little Fishies". She puts her clan above all else and will do what she must to ensure that they are healthy, safe, and well-maintained. Due to her rather forceful personality, she can come off as dominating and a bit arrogant to those who don't know her. Her bluntness and outspoken nature don't help her case much either. She looks up to her clan's high ranks and values their word above others' but may occasionally disagree with them if a certain decision doesn't sit right with her.

Despite everything, Brookstone is a strong and loyal friend that has boundless courage and a clear goal in mind: To ensure her clan's success in all their endeavors and constant happiness for as long as she lives.
