now because I love tonal whiplash, here's some dumb sketches I made after I drew this and promptly forgot how to draw, bc idk I like being annoying

look at him... he's just... legs...

ain't no fortunate son

I uh. I caved?

I'll take "things that didn't happen but I drew them anyway" for 500, Trebek.

The second picture was supposed to have another panel that consisted of Law just smugly lacing his fingers together and saying, "go on..." but I kinda ran out of steam since it was getting very late.

tummy lovin'

anthony anthony choppingham. antonio. the guy. the babyman.

He... might like the suit... maybe it's the gloves? I don't know.

Either way, the bug where Sanji.exe malfunctions when complemented and aggressively flirted with is not getting patched out anytime soon.

his favorite body part is the elgibbity (the thing next to your pancreas that makes you gay), he is the leading research expert on it (/j)

hehe "Utaraptor"

I did a complete overhaul of Rookfrost and Minecraftpaw's backstory (I am not getting into it right now it is... a lot) and decided to redesign Rookie a little because his being some sort of odd partial colorpoint was really bothering me. I made the last minute decision to make him polydactyl since it added to his general theme of "not fitting in". And also I may have accidentally drawn a thumb while sketching him and liked it too much.

It has occurred to me that I never posted the redraw I did of my old Cove and Quarry refs even though it's been a while since I made them... So here they are because why not (I deleted the original posts apparently idk so no link to those for reference).

So besides the fact that my cats are slightly less ugly and more expressive, the biggest change is that I'm not calling them clans anymore. QC is still sort of connected to the Warriors universe by way of "what if the clans fell apart circa OOTS, the survivors left to create the Quarry Colony, and the 3 plus Hollyleaf ended up becoming the new afterlife." (that's the short version, anyway) Which I guess technically makes this a post-cat-society-apocalypse AU?

Anyway because I am bad at brevity, change log below cut as well as a family tree (I have a version with spoilers but I will not be posting that).

CHANGES:

Mostly a lot of design changes, clarifications on details, and for the tortie/calico characters they got a small reference of their other side because that was something the old sheets were severely lacking since none of them besides Robin are symmetrical. Basic rundown:

Marshflower is a dilute tortie. She looks more like an actual cat that could exist now instead of... well, this.

I decided to go with Robinswoop's second design I came up with. He is also a trans tom.

Honeyshine's name is now Honeysnap, as Cloudkit's warrior name was going to be Cloudshine and I didn't want too much overlap with suffixes.

Brackenkit is also a dilute tortie.

What was once a typo has now become lore for Hallow's name having been changed. That will be addressed as I have a story written for this. Hallowpaw is the lore-heavy character instead of Emberdusk now, really.

Emberdusk and Windsong are both colorpoints, and their parents are to match, though they're not the most realistic I guess. Emberdusk would ideally take more after his mom and be a seal sepia but I specifically wanted him to be dark ginger since he was originally bootleg Wish.com Fireheart.

Turtlestar, Finchpetal, and Applepaw got design changes.

Cricketleap is supposed to be a Havana Brown, having been a housecat, though I'm sure that doesn't come across very well here.

Pebblesplash and his daughter Silverpaw got some adjustments. They (or at least, Silverpaw) also have vitiligo. Cinderkit might as well, though that's not clear yet.

Willowpaw is nonbinary, which I'd always felt like they should be, but never updated any of my notes until I redid all the designs.

Cloudkit! I've been feeling like Cloudkit is the Cove's equivalent of Hallowpaw and I want to do something with them eventually. He's a chimera and goes by he/they.

Here is the family tree without spoilers, though this was made before the redesigns and so has the older versions of the cats on it.

imagine that's how he finds out

Snowstripe's eyes swept across the gathering spot, snagging on the familiar black and white pelt of his colony's healer as he sat very cozily next to a stocky tom with thick grey fur. He squinted, trying to recall if he'd ever interacted with this cat, let alone what his name was.

Who but Robinswoop would hop by to sit next to him, chirping helpfully when he noticed Snowstripe's confused expression, "Oh, the grey tom is my brother's mate. Sootear."

"Hm?" Snowstripe blinked, getting Robinswoop's full attention now. Sootear... He sniffed thoughtfully, remembering how he'd been the first to pick up the scent of the cove near their borders. A sandy, salty scent, with something akin to seagulls mixed in. Then Mallowcloud had a large shell in his den and feathers in his nest, and he knew that Mallow, with his limp and preference for mice, was not one to be high-leaping for seafaring birds. "...Explains why his scent is familiar."

Being deputy and not much of a talker, Snowstripe had a reputation for being a stoic, closed-off character. Robinswoop, who had a way of making friends with ease, had known better. It was nice, actually, to just have someone to casually talk to. Robin had a tendency for making others comfortable around him, so happened upon all sorts of information by chance. Having family in charge must've made it easy, though his family was... eccentric, Snow had come to realize.

"Between my brother and your sister being... terrible parents..." It was a harsh way to put it, but he wasn't sure of another way. Smokestep was always a fool, and Honeysnap... well that wasn't his place to speak, but he'd noticed how Hallowpaw would stare after her, while Honeysnap blithely ignored her existence. Mallowcloud and Sootear were probably better parent figures to her. "And your brother being with a cove cat, that sounds--"

"Like quite a life, huh? Hahaha!" Robinswoop laughed, finding it funnier. He looked up at Snowstripe with sincerity. "But really, Snowy, I think you'd be a good dad. I see how Stormpaw looks up to you, and you're so gentle with him."

Snowstripe was taken aback. He knew about Stormpaw, that he idolized him from kithood, always talking about how he wanted to be deputy someday just like him. But he had never considered parenthood himself. Kits, huh? It didn't sound like a terrible idea. But there wasn't anybody... "...Thanks." After a moment of sitting with it, he figured he may as well be polite and return the conversation. "What about you?"

He thought he saw Robin's whiskers twitch as the small tom laughed again. "Me? No way! I'll stick with being the fun uncle!"

This started out as a very self-indulgent Sanji drawing and turned into a wholeass ref that I've been using for a while so, uh... here. It's a bit rough but I mostly just needed something to colorpick from and work out some finer details. This also may or may not be related to some sorta weird little AU or whatever.

I woke the same as any other day, you know I should've stayed in bed

Choppiroquai

Was looking through my pictures for a color reference and how did I forget I drew this, I guess it was a throwaway doodle or something... The idea behind it was that Law generally doesn't do PDA but when he does... it's very genuine and appreciated

And also maybe I just like drawing them in obnoxious outfits (yes I know I lean very hard into cool colors I like them a lot)

hey so I loved your tags and it gave me an idea hope you don't mind me just dropping this here

Yes he's got one of those Warmies plushes (I really want to get one someday but I'm torn between the black cat and the chicken and I just found out there's a capybara and a guinea pig aaaaaa) and yes it's a polar bear because Bepo I had to

imagine that's how he finds out

Glad we can all agree Law needs to get knocked up

(this is old/messy/inconsistent and never got finished but I liked some of the expressions on it)

And here is a more recent followup:

Sanji's just trying to make sure Law's taken care of

have this thing I drew in like 5 minutes but ended up really liking and making into my discord icon
