Is Night sun-bleached?
Well I intended the design to have her chest as just her natural fur colour, but I guess you could interpret it as bleached! (I don’t really strive for realism with my designs lol)
properly sun bleached night would be super cool though. love cool fire motif it’s why she has orange eyes and the markings in the first place lmao

TINY NIGHTFINCH SPOTTED IN MY SCHOOL ART BOOK
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!

Oh god, it's art dump time (ft. all of my 2024 AF attacks)
Putting the good ones above the cut LOL
This grid setup is very awkward.
I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be this year, but I'm still happy with all of my attacks. Sorry for never posting here. I always forget that I have Tumblr. Maybe one day I'll get good at posting.

really tempted to get rid of the other two clans and just have alpine because ive never felt motivated to expand on the other two.. unfortunately i think i need to keep snowdrift but evergreen is probably gonna go
Finch and Night get into a hypothetical fight, who's winning
why would you pit them against each other noooo adsklfj
i thinkk if characterisation is staying, Night would freak out about it and Finch would win.. if its just skills alone i think its equal chance of Night winning or they BOTH lose and somehow kill each other lol
My god, had bad did Night fumble that ball to fuck up this slam dunk of a victory.
Don't the clans skirmish with each other or something like that, or is Starclan basically their direct government and they just hang out
There is something super interesting about the main villain government actually being very easy to overthrow, like they are easy as hell to beat up. But the problem isn't in beating them, it's in legitimacy.
Staran might be corrupt, but they have about a few centuries of good will, achievements, faith, and just plain knowing how to run a clan on their resume. DF is basically a bunch of assholes who came out of left field and know how to kill, that no one knows or likes.
Sure, you might be able to kick Starclan to the curb, but can you actually justify why you should be in charge rather than them?
Lmao yeah
I think the clans probably do have skirmishes, just not often thanks to the sheer size of their territories lol (leads to miscommunication HELL but also less contact with each other or each other’s borders that they could fight over. they don’t have gatherings like in warriors).
The DF’s ‘legitimacy’ is super interesting, since Night’s motivations behind the rebellion are inherently selfish, and arguably taking an approach of getting rid of the whole society instead of trying to fix it is Bad
The main point behind Petalclaw's little resistance group after that is basically ‘we don’t think starclan was great but you didn’t have the right to do that to us’ (+ Night’s motivation behind her involvement in the rebellion was basically ‘StarClan didn’t have the right to do that to me’. I’m sure Night will respond to this parallel very Normally).
random thought for myself but i think the modern clans would be ass at fighting actually. more than i initially thought. none of them have had need to keep up standards when there hasn't been a war for centuries. i think they just refine normal cat instincts a little in apprentice training and call it a day
I love characters who act selfishly to protect the people they love. Absolutely will 1000% hit that trope like a line of coke. I have no moral qualms about this.
anyway shout out to the six starclan guys Night just fucking slaughters

What did Finch do and what would night do if she found out what Finch did?
YEEAGHH that’s what the finch pmv covers!
Finch killed four Alpine cats (including an apprentice) a few weeks after the civil war ended :] she did this deliberately because she knew she'd be banished to the dark forest with Night because of it (I think at this point she believed silverpelt did exist) and she was pretty distressed that Night was there alone.
Night probably already knows deep down that Finch wasnt just banished to the dark forest for no reason, and whatever she did was probably because of her (Night might ignore it but it’s hard to not notice how much Finch would just do basically anything for her lol).
I honestly have no idea how Night would react to being told outright lol.. Night and Finch share the trait of ignoring things until it comes back to bite them later
