Personal Art Project Stuff

Hello again! I'm happy to see the site is still so active!
I've mentioned in another topic but I'm just recovering from a bad case of COVID and during my time being sick, I've been meaning to do a little art project as a way to relax during the times I'm not busy studying for college cx I'll be posting stuff of that project over here since this little thing is inspired by one of the site-wide plots that once happened on the site! I hope you enjoy the sketches and concept art I'll be doing :3

NAME(S): BLACK WATERS (open to change)

Riverclan
-Leader: Heatherstar
-Deputy: Jaystream (yeah, my first character here cx)
-Medicine cats: Reedleaf & Shellpaw (not at the start)

Silverfang: Gray mottled medium-furred she-cat. One of the protagonist. Viperstrike and Baderfur's daughter and Lightswift's sister.
Main character. Not much of a talker, yet very emotional. Her issues controlling her emotions are not reflected on exacerbated expressions but rather they are manifested in her actions. Quick to snap and not really open to friendship, even among her clan. She loves her sister, Lightswift dearly and has a crush on Ottersplash, his best friend. His rival is Pikemask. She has a... conflicting relationship with her parents, Viperstrike and Badgerfur.
-Lightswift: White short-furred she-cat. Viperstrike and Badgerfur's daughter and Silverfang's sister.
-Badgerfur: Short-furred tuxedo tom-cat. Viperstrike's mate.
-Viperstrike: Long-furred grey and white she-cat. Badgerfur's mate


-Cindersong: Short-furred calico she-cat. Jaystream's mate

-Crookedtail: Medium-furred sand-coloured tabby. Mudspots' mate.
-Mudspots*: Fluffy white-and-brown she-cat. Crookedtail's mate

-Ottersplash
-Pikemask

-Hailstorm: Heatherstar's son and Jaystream's brother
-Mossbloom


Shadowclan:
-Leader: Smallstar
-Deputy: Sunblaze

-Wolfstripe

Thunderclan
-Leader: Rainstar
-Deputy: Liontuft

WINDCLAN:
-Leader: Swiftstar, Ivystar
-Deputy: Ivythorn

UPDATE: I've decided to try and tell the story through a mix of animatics/pmvs and pictures for small plot points. I've already planned the first animatic  and it will be a practice for me to decide if I should continue the story through that method or just by illustrations :3
Apprentice-hood: "I'm still here" (Spanish version, fits the story better)
Starring characters: Silverpaw, Crookedtail, Viperstrike, Cindersong, Lightpaw (minor), Pikepaw (minor), Otterpaw (minor), Heatherstar (minor), Jaystream (minor)
*Blue is for completed reference sheets

Meet one of the protagonist, Silverfang! Based of one of my former characters yet she is not quite the same. Later on, I will draw her sister and only littermate, Lightswift

Almost done with these sisters!
I'm still deciding if I should post the story as just animatics/pmv or telling the story through drawings of important scenes and their respective narration. I will decide along the way cx
Either way, these references sheets will be helpful!
(the height difference is as shown in the drawing, silver is short compared to her sister light)

Finally done cx

And some other sketches for other relevant characters! (and practice in different head shapes)
I'm not getting creative with some names and I need a name for the tom at the bottom with ??. He is Windclan. If anyone comes with a good name, I'll be really grateful!

I suggest Tallear or (something)fang. If I knew what his pelt looked like I could help more.

ooooh, I never thought of the prefix Tall and I love it!! Thank you so much!!! :D

me watching this thread

One of the main reasons I couldn't decide how I wanted to tell this story is because I struggled with inspiration to dive in some of the characters' motivations and struggles. I had like the main idea of how they were supposed to be and how to act, but the background of that is what it has been difficult for me
The thing is: I've been so inspired these past days that I could finally bring myself to rewrite and make a huge improvement in the story overall!
The problem: I lost my drawing pen two days ago and I can't draw any of the ideas I have ;; I know it is somewhere in the house and it's a shame considering that I wanna draw a lot and share this little project ;;

Welp, until I find my pen, I made a little update on the top of the topic on how I will take the story from now on and I'll make notes of character's main physical and personality traits (trying to not spoil too much cx) to not forget any of these inspiration storm that I'm having

@Ripped: I'm happy to see that you are interested! I'm really passionate about this and I hope people will like it :3
