I summoned a video ππββ¬
cw for blood btw
some things for myself for drawing StarClan and dark forest cats (or βwinglessβ as they are known in this universe lol)
df cats only look like that outside of the df (while dead). inside they look like normal living kitties
everything ALSO printed too big and cant fit on the page
my fucking gluestick ran out im auahggjkdjf
NVM I BOUGHT IT. EVERYTHING IS GOOD AGAIN
im very upset i found something i want and i CANT BUY IT (as USUAL UGH)
I was asked how I make my characters fit the background with such minimal shading, and here's how I do it!
Starting point is just background + the base colors
Add a multiply layer on top of the characters. The color is usually eyedropped from the background, but just as often I just play with the hue/saturation/brightness slider. This layer usually has either high transparency or brightness so it doesn't become overpowering, especially if the background is light.
Airbrush the background colors lightly on top of some parts of the characters, usually the outer edges and the parts that should be in shade. I do this willy-nilly with a big brush.
Add color dodge as the last thing, and let it affect both characters and the background.
There's thousand other ways out there, this is just how I've done it!
I'm a sucker for hypothetical children, so, what would a NightFinch hypokit potentially look or act like?
oohh ok! :0 i thinkk if its a hypokit, then any design with an incorporation of brown, black and some tabby stripes would be good... maybe ill draw one for fun..
its hard to say what the kit would act like.. because i think Night would absolutely suck at parenting. plus this would have to be a post-civil war situation (if they both didnt die) so Finch would be better off than Night but still a little messed up
if we go with the happiest possible option of alpine sort of communally helping them both and them supporting each other well i think they would grow up to act smart and reserved but absolutely be secretly a menace.. like will do what they're told but will go out of their way to be an inconvenience lmao. nobody wants to complain because they've all seen Finch dismember cats during the war and Night is Night
