It may not be my quest…

…but maybe it’s mine to win!

My OC, Nightpaw

Here’s a drawing I made of Nightpaw, a Warriors OC of mine. I heard the song “My Grand Plan” (from The Lightning Theif: The Percy Jackson Musical)and thought of her immediately. I think Annabeth has a view of the world very similar to Nightpaw’s. They both feel as if they’re never enough, and they’re desperate to “rise up” and prove themselves, taking huge risks to do so. The part that really matched the most was the part of the song that said “It may not be my quest, but maybe it’s mine to win!” Basically Nightpaw followed some prophecy cats on a quest because she wanted someone to notice her, and I just think it’s really cool that it happened to be the same in both the cases of Annabeth and Nightpaw. Also, I really wanted to try some landscape drawing, and I think it turned out pretty good!

I hope you enjoyed this drawing and my long unnecessarily long explanation of it.

BY THE WAY, LISTEN TO THE SONG AND JUST THE WHOLE MUSICAL IN GENERAL, IT’S AMAZING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzAGAUCCE04

Clarisse La Rue (Traditional)

Clarisse La Rue from Percy Jackson and the Olympians—I drew this today at school.

Hey everyone! Here’s a drawing I made of Clarisse La Rue from Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Just a warning, there are a couple of spoilers for books 4 and 5 (The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian) ahead. 

I think Clarisse is a pretty good character. She has some nice character development, and at times I can feel genuinely bad for her. Admit it, it would be really hard if someone showed up and completely overshadowed everything you did, especially if you’re a really proud person (which Clarisse is). Then, the whole thing with Chris Rodriguez going mad and Silena dying?? AAH! She’s still a jerk—no doubt about it—but she’s been through some really hard experiences and I think she’s a good person at heart. In the end, she chose to fight alongside the rest of Camp Half Blood and ended up being a really useful part of the battle.

The other thing that bothers me is that in so many books, the bully characters are often described as being really ugly. I mean, look at all the drawings of Clarisse. While the art is still good art, her design isn’t exactly…eye pleasing? I’m not saying that all characters should be beautiful. This is just how I personally imagined her. While she’s not like, a child of Aphrodite or something like that, I don’t think she should be hideous. So this is my design!

Anyway, I’m planning to draw every character from the series and post them here, so look forward to more of these in the future!

Bear and Leia [Commissions]

Here are two more commissions I made. The cat’s name is Bear, and the guinea pig is Leia. It was fun to draw all of Bear’s fluff, and Leia was interesting because I don’t usually draw guinea pigs, and her fur was very spiky. It sort of stuck out at different angles in tufts. Anyway, enjoy!

Nomi and Jazz [Commissions]

I was recently asked to draw two beautiful cats, Nomi (white and ginger) and Jazz (brown tabby). I really enjoyed making their portraits. It was a bit of a challenge, most of my cat drawings being American Shorthairs or similar, but nonetheless fun. On Nomi’s portrait, I used some purple for shading, which was something I don’t think I’ve done before. At one point it was too purple, so I balanced it out with gray. I think that the purple makes it seem a little bit more interesting, since there’s so much white on the canvas. Jazz was darker, so I just shaded with brown.

Art In The Park 2018 — Colored Pencil

From July 13th to July 15th, I participated in “Art in the Park” for the second time. The first was in 2016, two years ago. Unlike last time, I used both colored pencil AND watercolor. I made some drawings beforehand, and did custom portraits of pets, as well.

I think I’ve improved a lot over the last two years, and I hope to keep doing so! Here are the links to some of the art I made last time.

Dovewing I guess? For Wolfjay4’s Fanfiction

So here’s yet another drawing for Wolfjay4’s fanfiction. I’m pretty proud of this one. Today I discovered the blend tool and kind of went crazy with it, making the fur look super soft. I started drawing and decided it looked like Dovewing, so yeah. Maybe it’s Twigbranch. Idk, whatever, but here ya go, Wolfie. It’s art. (Those eyes are sO BIG lol) Drawn with Adobe Photoshop CC 2018.

Blackout: AT

I did an art trade with _WolfHowl_ on Scratch, so here you go! This is _WolfHowl_’s OC, Blackout. I thought he was really fun to draw. It’s exciting to draw something that’s not adorable little kittens every once in a while. Not that I don’t like drawing adorable little kittens, no, don’t hear this the wrong way. I love drawing cute things, but it’s cool to experiment with something else every once in a while, trying out some techniques for villans.
